Brother PTT, Princess PTT and Afternoon Tea

Princess PTT loves Brother PTT which is adorable to see... Here he is picking her up from school... 

Today, Y and I indulged in a little shopping and then we headed to Upper House for afternoon tea...

Tres delicious...

Such juxtaposition to the vulgarity of Shenzhen which we will attack tomorrow...

Yours,

Brother PTT and Y at L'etage, Yardbird and Feather Boa

One of our current new favourites in ye old Hong Kong town is Yardbird - a Japanese influenced restaurant dedicated to the art of chicken...

Yard Bird has a no reservation policy so we toddled down to L'etage for an aperitif. L'etage is fairly new as well and does a good line in moscow mules served in little copper cups.

Our Yardbird table was finally ready so it was time for the ubiquitous cheers and menu perusal..

One of Yardbird's signature dishes is KFC - Korean Fried Cauliflower. I'd describe it as ambrosia on a chopstick...

Here's Mr PTT and Brother PTT tucking into the KFC and the corn tempura...

Here I am... obviously someone had just told a mighty good joke...

I wore a Zara LBD with pleated skirt in case you were wondering and my hair was pony-tailed due to the high humidity...

Next came various parts of chicken on sticks... here are the wings...

Here's my personal favourite - chicken meatball which you dip into raw egg... (actual rather macabre when I think about it in the light of the day but tres delicious in the moment)

Here's Brother PTT enjoying every bite... he's come a long way... as a child he'd pretty much eat a selection of about 5 foods on rotation...

We finished with a chicken skin and pea rice dish... nice... but very rich and heavy... I think next time we'll stick to the sticks...

After dinner, I just had to take Y to Feather Boa for a chocolate strawberry daiquiri... I had everything crossed that we were allowed in but the gods were with us as WE ACTUALLY GOT A TABLE!!! Here's an illicit shot as you aren't supposed to have cameras inside ;-)

Brother PTT and Y doing the tourist trail...

After a rather debaucherous night at Hutong, Brother PTT, Y, Mr PTT and I went for a restorative walk up the Peak...

Luckily, the weather was somewhat clearer so we could actually make out the city...

We did the tourist thing and took the Peak Tram down....

Here's Mr PTT and Brother PTT...

After brunch at Press Room, we split into teams... The boys went to Wanchai computer market and the girls went shopping... no surprises there!

Brother PTT and Y come to town!

Brother PTT and his beautiful girlfriend Y came to Hong Kong for a couple of days on their way home from Koh Samui.

Y had never been to our little part of the world so of course we had to show her everything that the Fragrant Harbour has to offer...

We took the Aqua Luna junk for a little spin around the harbour...

Here's Brother PTT with Mr PTT in ambiguous profile...

We then went to Aqua Bar for some pre-dinner cocktails and to see the 8pm light show. I had a ginger Bellini. I'm loving ginger in cocktails at the moment - so refreshing...

Next we went downstairs to one of our favourite Hong Kong restaurants, Hutong. Here I am nibbling on a lima bean and perusing the menu...

Y and I indulged in some Lychee Wine because it would have been rude not to... Plus any cocktail that comes in a tea pot has my name written all over it...

Here's some visuals of the delicious Hutong food... I particularly loved the lamb and fennel dumplings...

Delicious steak and onion stir fry and chili prawns...

Here's Brother PTT's favourite... deconstructed lamb ribs...

Unfortunately, we also came for the view but Hong Kong had other ideas... I've never seen the mist this bad.

After dinner we were invited to put a wish on the wishing tree... I wonder what Brother PTT and Y wished for?
