More from our recent Hong Kong trip…
You know how it is when you are so caught up in what’s happening around you that you forget to take photos? Well, on our final day in HK, we were taken to the legendary Chung King Mansions for dinner (delicious Indian food at the Pakistani Mess on the 4th floor) but we forgot to take photos! It was a memorable experience, nonetheless. As one of CN Asia producers said: ”Welcome to a different ecosystem…”.
Note: We didn’t take this great photo of the Chung King House
