Met my dear college mate and family

As suggested by Kirin, we hanged out at Festival Walk (directly accessible from MTR Kowloon Tong station) for much of the day.

Ordered the much recommended Spare ribs tomato baked rice at Mido Café (one of five best Hong Kong Cha Chaan Teng listed in DanielFoodDiary) along Temple Street for dinner and I savoured it, with 小雨 napping peacefully in the carrier.

Lost for quite a while after alighting at MTR Prince Edward, before we finally made it to the little nest of my dearest college mate, someone who held a special place in my heart. During the two years when I sunk deeply into Sumikko gurashi, she showered me with unconditional care and love. I felt rather ashamed and overwhelmed then, to be receiving so much from a petite girl who had left home in Hong Kong to study in Singapore, when rightfully, she should be the one deserving more love than me. 

We had a happy hour of catching up and digging into local Hong Kong food. While our arrival got her doggie Noodle trembling initially, he soon overcome his fear and got playful. 小雨 was unexpectedly a little afraid of Noodle. Guessed she wasn't prepared to meet a doggie upclose, given that she had always watched rabbits, hamsters through a glass partition, and observed pet dogs in the garden from a distance. 

Overall, it was a heartwarming meet-up with her family of hubby, doggie Noodle, and two guinea pigs Lucy and Timmy to end the night with.

Doggie Noodle!
