The Layover in Hongkong!
In order to get to Chennai Hoa had to stop by Honkong for a layover. Here he has 2 hours which is enough to grab a hot bowl of congee in the airport. This place was recommended by one of this college.
This place is very popular for passenger transiting at the Hong Kong airport.
It is very clean and the food is pretty good and it is also dirt cheap!
Congee station... |
Check out the Chinese doughnut (it is huge). |
Cost 42 Hong Kong dollar = around $5 + a nice cup of Starbucks coffee!
After 5 hours flight it is so nice to have a hot bowl of congee!

With a stomach full, Hoa has a little time to kill so he walked around the airport
If you do not like Congee try Tsui Wah.
Here is the menu at Tsui Wah.
Until the next Layover...
