I arrived in
Hong Kong on
Wednesday afternoon, greeted by my Uncle
Wai and Aunt Polly (my mother's fourth brother and his wife) at the
airport. Later that evening, we joined my grandma, grandpa, Auntie, and 4 cousins at an a Vegetarian Restaurant to celebrate my grandma's 84 birthday. Part of Chinese culture is that on your birthday, you are supposed to hand out money in red envelopes called 'lucky money' to the younger people in your family for good luck.
Yesterday, I spent the day solo and went to some various temples and toured Kowloon and New Kowloon, where I found this interesting translation of a dish outside of a restaurant.

The translation is supposed to read 'Fried Large Intestines' but in the dictionary, there are probably several words under the characters and the author just chose one
arbitrarily.
