Somehow, the preserved salty lemon give a unique favor to the 7-Up. And I have been wanted to make this drink in Singapore, but in vain.

During a recent trip to Hong Kong and Macau, I found the answer to make this drink, thank to my wife. My wife have this interest to visit their supermarket, although I am not that supportive. But thank to her, I found this bottle of Salty Lemon. Without a second thought, I bought a bottle.

As in the instruction, add a teaspoon of the salty Lemon to a glass. (I have only cups at home!).

Then put 7-Up and ice to glass (cup in this case).

And now, I have a glass (cup) of salty lemon at the comfort of my home. And enjoy the unique favor.

There are variety of foods available. Food eateries at every corner. And there are food available almost round the clock.

During the 2 days in Hong Kong, we tried our best to try as many type of food available. But there is a limit our stomachs can take. Here are some of the food we had taken. No choice, we have to miss out some of the food available.

We will be back for more food!

The street was full of vibrancy. This was very youth street. There are many young people in different attire giving our flyers promoting business. And I can find many, many photographers with their heavy equipment showing the streets, the crowds, and the young beautiful girls  :-) .

I, too, took out my camera and snapped many pictures. As I was carrying quite a number of items, so some of the shots were a bit motion blur.

When I was leaving the place, I saw two ambulances rushing across. Later, then I read the news on the acid throwing incident. Wow, I was fortunate that I was not one of the victims.
