one of my previous jobs sent me to hk for two weeks, staying in a 5* hotel with a $100 dollar a day food budget. when i turned up at the hotel the deposit they asked for was bigger than my at card limit at the time, had to make an embarrassing phone call to the EA at my employer asking them to pay the hotel directly. was a lot of fun eating out every night for free at some of the best restaurants in the world

that's my shenzhen adjacent story thanks for reading

one restaurant I went to i when dining alone had a menu - since I didn't know what any of the dishes were I ordered it, thinking it would be a "choose one from these 4 options" deal for each course (didn't really get asian meals style yet). it was actually 1 of everything on the list and i was completely swamped with food, i can still remember some of it though, like these salty and spicy chicken bits with sichuan peppers and incredible amounts of umami

was it 辣子鸡



that looks like it although I think they made me a milder white person version as it wasn't super spicy (I'm grateful tbh it was perfect for me)

Other things I enjoyed were shrimp siu mai


And the pork buns which are baked instead of steamed. These were lethal could have eaten them all day long


Also spicy shrimp and mushroom noodles. Actually basically all the food in big Chinese seems to be incredible
