Travelling Alone

Travelling alone can be quite intimidating at times if you are not used to it. Over the years, I can safely say that I have travelled quite a bit. Having studied in the US during my college days, flying long distances has also never been a problem for me. However, it was only in the past few years that I began to like travelling on my own; especially to regional cities like Hong Kong.
This brings me to the present, sitting here at the airport lounge in Hong Kong, waiting for my flight back home to Singapore. Looking back at the last 24 hours, I must say it was rather fulfilling. My colleague took an earlier flight back to Singapore the day before.
Being alone is not that bad. The only problem is food. It is hard to order for one person, especially with Chinese food. I have gotten over the eating alone bit sometime back.
Well, I decided to walk into one of my favorite restaurants in Hong Kong, the famous Yung Kee.
I stared at the menu for sometime before deciding to order myself a plate of roast goose rice and a plate of green vegetables (por choy) cooked in chicken broth. True to form, the roast goose was cooked to perfection. The skin was crispy and the meat was juicy. The vegetable was good but the portion way too big for one person to finish. Nonetheless, it was a very good meal. Well, at least now I know what to order when I am alone.
I best get going since it is the last call for my flight. I will most likely post this entry up when I get back to Singapore.
