Ocean Bay

A few weekends ago, some friends and I decided to take a mini trip to Stanley.  Initially, we had difficulty finding the main bus station.  Tack on the hour long bus ride afterwards and another hour of getting lost...by then, we had basically arrived to eat dinner.  All the shops were closed by the time we had finished our meal (and it was maybe around 9?), so if you ever want to visit Stanley, go early (...earlier if you have no sense of direction).

Our view when we were backtracking from being lost.

Did I mention Stanley was by the waters?

Small beach town atmosphere. Cute shops and restaurants!

Rack of Ribs. Needed some western food for a change!

Figo's

Soon after settling in, my friend Stacey invited me a luncheon with some of her friends who live in Discovery Bay.  We dined at Figo's, a restaurant nestled among others with a seaside view.  Gorgeous.  But just like the previous post, I refrained from taking pictures of all the food since I was a guest...and didn't want to shamelessly click away.  Well, maybe I sneaked in one :)

It was tasty except for the fact that there was (in my opinion) too much Gorgonzola in the risotto.  Keep in mind, I am, in no way, a food critic nor do I have a refined palate.  I'm just a self-proclaimed foodie who wants to share a little bit of deliciousness that Hong Kong has to offer! Enjoy!
