Lethargy

Another late night, so I just picked a restaurant in the mall attached to the hotel. I had steamed scallops with Taiwanese bean curd at East Ocean Seafood Restaurant. The very small and scrawny molluscs sat atop some preserved egg on top of some very tasty tofu. I don't know what the Taiwanese part was. Service was cold and indifferent and the dozens of hanging cardboard signs advertising siu lung bao and crab were not my idea of furnishings.

Dessert was no better. I opted for a dry, unsatisfying pineapple napoleon from the Pacific Coffee Company.

I think I'm just a bit worn out from Hong Kong: there aren't any more attractions I want to see (not even Disneyland), the restaurants are too hit-and-miss without adequate research, and I miss my own pillow. Looking forward to Japan in a few days!
