One of the most amazing desserts we had in Hong Kong was while on Cheung Chau island for their Bun Festival which is held once a year in April or May. We had the pleasure of experiencing it first hand. The humble island of Cheung Chau, literally named long island (長洲), is best known for their dessert specialties. One of the our favourites was a variant on the cheung fan noodles that is made with sesame and has mango fruit and sauce on it. My canto friends call it "manguo jima cheung" in Cantonese, so the literal Chinese would supposedly be 芒果芝麻腸粉. Delicious!
Melody and Jordan love to travel to authentic cultural places on a budget and enjoy good food, history, culture, and experiences!

Hong Kong is Humid
I know there are many real posts that are still needing to be published - I keep telling myself that I'll work on them after exams are done! This year I'll have about a week off before Christmas that I can spend doing my Christmas shopping and working on this blog :)
Anyways, Hong Kong is a crazy humid place so if you're going to be there for a long time, get some of this stuff. It will stop your clothes from getting moldy :S
