Breakfast in Hong Kong

Written by Wong Yee Lee


Continued from page 1

As you might have known, efficiency and convenience are what Hong Kong people value. Very often we don't haverepparttar time to enjoy a full meal like that. In this case, we would forage insiderepparttar 133943 refrigerator and see what we can find there inrepparttar 133944 morning. Fried rice left over fromrepparttar 133945 night before dinner may be one good choice for breakfast. Or anything you think which may be too heavy to startrepparttar 133946 morning with can be acceptable to us Hong Kong people. I still remember that one morning last month afterrepparttar 133947 Mid-autumn festival when every family was flooded with boxes of mooncakes, a colleague of mine told me that she had eaten a whole big mooncake for breakfast just because she had too many of them at home. I am sure for those who know how fattening and sugary a mooncake is can imagine what tolerance one must have if he can swallow a mooncake in one go.
