Belly Delights in Hong Kong: Bubba Gump

The Peak is a hot tourist attraction in Hong Kong all the time. Everyone who visits Hong Kong, they would go there. The reason is simple: it has a stunning view over the Hong Kong skyline. This also makes it a great place to dine out.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is just located in the famous Peak Tower on The Peak. It’s at the top floor of the tower with amazing views. This restaurant is definitely one of my favourites in Hong Kong. It’s themed from the movie Forrest Gump and is now all over America and some other international locations such as Hong Kong, Osaka and Kuala Lumpur.

Their menu features shrimps, of course. And that means you can have as many shrimps as you want in different cooking styles. However, they also have declicious steak and Alaskan king crab legs. Their drinks menu is very interesting too. I love the cocktails there. They are either very tropical style or just refreshing which would go well with the seafood.

CrabSteak

This is seriously yummy. The crab legs are very tender, fresh and juicy. I guess they just steam it which would keep the best flavour of Alaskan crabs. The steak is high quality as well and for that price it is great in Hong Kong.

My favourite quote from Ernest Hemingway

“Oh, Jake,” Brett said, “we could have had such a damned good time together.”

Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowed suddenly pressing Brett against me.

“Yes,” I said. “Isn’t it pretty to think so?” (19.60 The Sun Also Rises)

Every time I read it, I feel that my heart is shaking.

Susi’s happy life in AUS

Susi has been in Australia for almost 4 months (out of the Sydney quarantine station for more than 2 months). I think she is really in love with Australia. Yummy bones and beef, grasslands, fresh air, clear sky, beautiful blue sea and a whole yard for her to play! I really can’t imagine if we actually left her in Hong Kong. I would have been totally heartbroken now and she would have been as well. She is just such a cutie and a sweetie.

This is addictive!

Lately I have been really really busy on Facebook because… … … well I’ve been playing Cafe World! It is a small game on Facebook. Just like Restaurant City if you guys know about it. A cooking game made by Zynga. You run your own cafe, be the chef, hire your friends as waiters and cook some delicious dishes to earn money! (fake money, of course :P).

Fine, it is kinda childish, I know. I’m always a bit childish on games. While I love games like Resident Evil or Star Craft, I enjoy cute silly games quite a lot as well. And seriously, Cafe World is so addictive! I play Restaurant City also but I prefer Cafe World as you can actually “cook” and see the details of food. The part I would hope they improve is toilets functions.

This is my current cafe look. All in blue. I know, a bit crazy. :P Oh, well, I will change it later. Hehe. It was just for fun.

Bedtime Tunes

Bedtime Tunes is a music sharing website run by Lewi and I. OK, well, actually he designed the whole site. :P

Anyway, the idea is to upload a song every night for bedtime. Lewi had this idea even before we met but he never really did it. In October 2007, I started emailing a song every night with lyrics as bedtime tunes for him. A bit later he decided to make this idea come true and share it with people. So on October 23rd 2007, Bedtime Tunes website came out.

This website is now really popular and we have got 11 uploaders from America, Australia, China, Mexico and Denmark. (Oh, well, you can tell, sometimes we get a bit lazy. :P) There is an online player and you can also click “DL” to download the songs. What’s more, you can comment on each song or any uploader, rate, or leave a message through the Google Friend Connect on the top of the website. Lewi just added the Google Translate thing so now it is available in 19 languages.

It has been a lot of fun discovering new tunes and sharing what we like at the same time. And believe me, the songs there are absolutely amazing! You really have to check it out if you never knew about it before.

If you folks have any suggestions or want to become an uploader, that’d be welcome. Just send us an email: bedtimetunes@trash-can.net
