I just discovered xavibarca's incredible Hong Kong set on Flickr, which pushes me to work harder on my photography. His work is simply fantastic. I have to go there too!
Chicken rice at 翠華
Place: 翠華, Central, Hong Kong.
Dish: 海南雞飯
of having the same dish a few years back. The chicken is bland and
without flavor; the soup seems to have come straight out of Campbell's
instant soup mix, and the condiments are so stale that they taste like
they were hastily readied from that end of a buffet line where the corny-as-hell, Space Mountain-esque ice sculpture was more interesting than the edible food itself.
泰妃海南雞飯
Place: 泰妃雞, Wanchai, Hong Kong.
This is a solid candidate for the best chicken rice in town. Neitherthe chicken nor the rice is particularly enticing, but the combination
is a winning one. The lemongrass-flavored, herb-infused chicken
provides a layer of progressive richness to counterpoint the bed of
naked starch.

Multiple cell phones
My driver was fielding calls on three cell phones, two of which were "walkie talkie" type (push-to-talk, or PTT, the "Mike" service in Canada). According to my friend at Cisco, this is an innovation born out of declining business in the taxi ranks; the taxi drivers have formed a cooperative in which their cell number is added to a "hunt group" and if a regular customer calls them, and he is unable to take the call, the call is routed immediately to another member of the cooperative. Clever fellows, these taxi drivers.
