When in Hong Kong.....

So when you are in Hong Kong, what do you eat? Russian food, of course!!
Our company has a number of rules they have to comply with when we are sponsoring travel or paying for meals for folks outside the company. And these rules vary by the country. The meeting here is amazing, because the investigators we have are from Taiwan, China, and Korea. Apparently, it is considered too fancy for the Korean folks to eat at the Sheraton here in Hong Kong, so they had to eat as a group elsewhere. I thought that was bogus, and when one of my Japanese colleagues who was helping coordinate the meeting asked me to eat with the Korean crew, I told him I would be happy to. I ate at the Seraton last night and it was OK, but nothing to write home about. I don't know about the folks here tonight, but we had the best time, as you can see from the pictures.
We went to a Russian place called "Balalaika," that was in an area where there were a lot of restaurants and bars all crammed together. It was actually nice enough for folks to eat outside and it reminded me of the Riverwalk in San Antonio. We had a 4 course Russian meal that was great: salads, borscht, 3 entrees, and dessert. The entrees were great - chicken Kiev, something that was like shishkebab, and a fish casserole with a creamy sauce. Wow! The musicians played a song for us and we all had little instruments (bells, rattles, etc.)to play along. What a great time!
