Lan Fong Yuen
Popped into Lan Fong Yuen for a sweet treat of French Toast and Hong Kong style milk tea.

Double Cheeseburger at In-N-Out
With fries of course.

Perhaps the most coveted pastry on planet Earth: The Cronut from Dominique Ansel Bakery in Soho.
Maxim’s Jade Garden in HKG Airport
Stopped at Maxim's Jade Garden in HKG airport for some last chance dim sum. It's in Terminal 1 on level 8 in the departures hall.
Potato Chips | Hong Kong Edition
A cruise down a Hong Kong grocer's snack aisle yielded a huge and crazy variety of potato chip flavors. A few of my picks here.
Din Tai Fung
A requisite stop in Asia (or Los Angeles) is Din Tai Fung for soup dumplings and greens. This time I also had the wontons in chili oil.
Tim Ho Wan
While everything I had was delicious the story for me here were the pork buns. Just imagine the thinnest, flakiest sugar coated donut possible that then has a rich pork filling.
Vietnamese Food of Vinh Hy’s Amanoi
The food of the Vinh Hy Amanoi is super fresh, delicious and the menus have a nice sampling of many of Vietnam's more popular dishes. A few from my stay below.
Pho and Iced Coffee in SGN Airport
On a layover at Ho Chi Minh Airport I stopped into the Big Bowl at the Terminal 2 food court for my last pho and iced coffee on Vietnamese soil.

Pak Loh Chiu Chow in HKG Airport
Just past security in Hong Kong International's terminal 1 Pak Loh Chiu Chow is a first stop to get that last fix of dim sum before boarding.
