I was not able to go inside but when I saw it from the outside, it was really so attractive, I hope to go back another time.  It is the biggest Organic supermarket in Hong Kongdsc_6834.JPGdsc_6839.JPGdsc_6838.JPG 360elementsorganicstore.jpg

They have an ice skating ring, what was interesting was the penguin that kids were holding on to- what a great feature

Arirang Korean Restaurant

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Arirang was one of our family’s favorites in HK when we were kids and used to stay often in kowloon side.   We have not been there in a long long time so since this time it was near where we stayed, I suggested we eat there….. and Ned and Janet offered to treat…so I did not object!  🙂  Thanks Ned and Janet for a great meal!!!

Funny guy Ned put his teacup on top of the beef while cooking….hmmm… he said they really do that to cook the beef 🙂  I just had to take a photo of it because it was the first time I saw such a way of cooking arirangkorean11.jpg
