My Meal in Hong Kong

Last February, I was having a business trip to Hong Kong (sounds cool, eh ? "business trip" ? eheheheheh) when introduced to this wow way of feast.
Basically, it was just a lunch. a formal lunch. But i can't help my self calling it a "feast", for the enormous amount of dish they served.

so, what did i have for lunch ? here's the list :

Appetizers:

1. Fried peanut
2. Spicy fried Tofu (with garlic and red pepper)
3. Some kind of a very tender sliced beef, chilli sauced

Main course:

1. Peking Duck’s skin, with wonton dough as wrapper
2. Steamed shrimp
3. Fried pigeon
4. Peking duck’s meat with water salad as wrapper
5. Squid tempura
6. Fried rice with salted fish
7. Sauteed baby kailan
8. White rice

Dessert:

1. Fried lunar cake
2. Sliced fruit consisted of kiwi, strawberry, watermelon, melon, papaya
3. Sponge Cake
4. Chinese bakpia

and that, ladies and gentlemen, all in one single lunch.

As a Javanese, I used to have rice with meat as side dish, and some soup. that's for one meal. add a portion of fruit and cold ice tea, the lunch is already perfect.
Imagine what i felt when faced with this kind of lunch.
Not to mention , they served the rice last. ahahahah.
I was shocked.  -_-''

most of the fried stuff was served with many fried garlic and fried chili. I just love it.
And beef as appetizers ? what kind of luxury that is for me !

So what happened next during the other meeting ?

That's right, another feast, this time, i didn't bother to divide which is which, so, i'll just give you the list of several dishes i could remember :

1. Fried rice
2. Fried noodle with mushroom
3. Spicy thin slice of beef
4. Fried Peking duck
5. Rice cake
6. Fried tofu skin
7. Fish ball with wasabi
8. Sauté vegetables
9. Some other sauté green vegetables
10. Vegetarian pao
11. Shrimp dim sum
12. Seafood fried dim sum
13. Beef meat ball

So, next time you have the chance to visit Hong Kong or perhaps Taiwan and China, there are three things involving meal that you probably want to remember, here you go:

1. always look for a chance to try a full feast for lunch or dinner, like what i had.
2. you have to only take a very small amount of every dish. Make sure you taste them all, and not being so greedy at the very first dish they serve. Because it's your lost if you can't taste them all. Eat like crazy when you already taste everything, and know what you're craving the most. 
3. if you're a moslem like me, don't forget to ask the meal that only contains Halal ingredients. Ah, and don't forget to eat only normal cattle. (please don't touch the shark's fin).

 happy meal in Hong Kong !

Ps :
it's a polite way to move your fore and middle finger as if you're knocking the table, when someone is pouring the tea to your cup.
i was told, that it was the Emperor's way to say thanks to anyone who pour them tea, because it is forbidden for them to bow to others, they then just find a way to "bow" their fingers as their way to say "thanks".
anyone knows better about this ? let me know.
