We took this photo of the supposedly smallest 7-Eleven at the Disneyland Resort Station in Hong Kong. I don't know if this is the smallest 7-Eleven in the world, but it sure is small.
Yummy japanese octopus balls at HK$37 (May 2009) from Takomaru at City Super, Harbour City, Hong Kong. This is way too many for me. I ate only 3 balls and lovey helped me finish the rest.
Was able to try Singapore's Takopachi in Bugis in 2005 but don't really remember how that tasted like, except that lovey and I both loved it and went back there to eat it again the next day.
My Mamegoma, Rilakkuma and Monokuro Boo San-X gashapon souvenirs. Got these 3 items from this gashapon machine at HK$10 (May 2009) apiece in Langham Place Mall, Mongkok, Hong Kong.
This is the much bigger eye-catching buddha I was referring to in my previous post about a buddha sitting on a bright blue lion. (see my Ten Thousand Buddhas (2) post) It's bigger than life-size and has many many arms.

Our lunch at ThreeSixty food store in Elements, Hong Kong. I had the salmon sashimi at HK$35.80 (May 2009) and lovey had this chili dog at HK$21.20 (May 2009). The best sashimi ever. I loved it and ate slow so I can savor the flavor. The only disadvantage is I can't enjoy eating salmon sashimi anywhere else anymore, I keep comparing it to this one. The chili dog doesn't look appetizing but lovey says it's yummy too.
Are they considered gashapon? Anyway, these are my ball souvenirs from Ocean Park Hong Kong. It's a panda inside a ball and a puffer fish inside a ball. They're HK$15 (June 2008) apiece. The last photo shows the giant gashapon machine which dispensed my puffer fish ball. You kinda get an idea of it's size by judging the size of the balls inside both machines.
There's a portion of Tung Choi St. in Mongkok, Hong Kong that is referred to as Goldfish St. by Hongkongers. It's a nice relaxing short walk for pet lovers. The pet shops here also sell puppies, rabbits, turtles, crabs, etc.
On our way to Goldfish Street we came across this eggette food stall in Mongkok, Hong Kong. Having read several blogs talking highly of this supposedly famous dessert, I just had to try one. Didn't like it. Lovey didn't wanna try it so I had to finish the whole thing all by myself. It's S$7 (May 2009) for one roll (looks like bubble wrap).
The resort shuttle at Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel brings guests to and fro the park for free. The third photo shows the video monitor inside the shuttle.
At the end of the day, we rode the shuttle to see Disney's Hollywood Hotel and I had the unlucky experience of sitting on a wet seat. Had to transfer to another seat at the back of the bus hoping it was just spilt water I sat on. But with kids everywhere I wonder :(
Got this Starbucks Hong Kong tumbler at HK$90 (May 2009) at the Hong Kong International Airport. It came with a free drink of your choice so lovey tried their Dark Berry Mocha Frappuccino.
Our super yummy dessert at Charlie Brown Cafe. I find this Smoothy Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse expensive at HK$32 (May 2009) so lovey and I just shared it.
