Yesterday, we went to the Hong Kong Convention Center to check out the Hong Kong Food Expo. I wasn't really sure what to expect... maybe, hopefully, Hong Kong's answer to Taste of Chicago? Not exactly. Think about the type of sampling at Costco laid over a job fair, but with maybe the number of people at Taste of Chicago.
Nevertheless, it was fairly entertaining. There was an "Alcoholic Beverage Tasting Center," and one of the more bizarre types of packaging I've seen for a drink: "Go Wodka." My friend took a picture, but here's one that I found online. In real life, it looks even more like a toothpaste tube. I also tried Yakult for the first time, of which our friends bought tons and tons to get a cute key chain. Maybe it's something you have to grow up drinking... I suppose it tastes ok, but I'm weirded out that it's called "Live Lactobacillus casei Shirota drink." Also, somewhat bizarre was a stand where they were selling an advanced slow cooker that can steam chicken, make rice AND cake. Their promotional offer though was the most random -- a free pair of sneakers and a piece of luggage with your purchase.

I MISS YOU!!
Yakult is the best.
Who would guess a tiny little bottle could quench thirst better than a can of coke?!?
I think I saw that slow cooker thing on an informercial...beware of the infomercial from the boy who bought the quick cook grill.
Which really just poofs black smoke and give you thoughts of becoming vegetarian.
