Dumplings, Lanterns, and Views–a Day in Hong Kong

I have not layovered (this is a verb!) in Hong Kong in a long, long time. I love the city, it’s vibrant, beautiful, and the food is fantastic. 

Views at breakfast from the 40th floor of the Renaissance Harbourview:

 

I’m a dumpling lover…yum. These are 3 shrimp and 1 pork. I love to make a sauce of hot chili, vinegar, and soy. They’re sitting on a bed of arugula, which I don’t think is too Chinese…is it?

I walked all over today. I loved how these lanterns looked juxtaposed against the modern skyscrapers. Anyone who has been to Hong Kong knows that it is a city of old and new, contrasts upon contrasts.
