The place is incredibly extravagant and the service is good (except the end when I try to tip the lady, she was offended). The food however is not as tasty. Will and I were discussing why that is and there are several reasons. The dim sum we got is not as heavy/salty as the ones in America. This makes perfect sense because dim sum is suppose to be light/snack. The portions are alot smaller...well, we look around and couldn't find any fat person. Asians are in competition for skinniness, so naturally the portions will be smaller. Asians also like to eat more often since their portions are smaller, unlike America, where we eat to stuff ourselves. Overall we see that Asian eating style is much more healthier than Americans. In the end we got something that we couldn't find in America - fried custard buns, mmmmmmm.
We continued our journey through the booming business district to the most stylish building (imo in HK) - International Finance Center (hey batman jumped off this). Tall, sleek, simple, elegant are just some words that popped into my head when I looked at the IFC. The service was excellent as we smoothly registered as visitors and was directed to the 55th Floor. When we got to the 55th floor, and looked out of the glass windows, for a moment I thought I was in heaven. Wait a min, this is heaven, heaven on Earth. I thought the view from my dorm was good, but the view from the IFC froze me. I was speechless, I am speechless - only pics can explain.
Feeling like champs, we decided to call it a day (not night) since nothing was going to top that experience. On the way back, we picked up some essentials and was ready to party in Lan Kwai Fang tonight. Hong Kong is amazing.
