It’s a blog first, peeps: I took the photo!

Hong Kong Food Exploration: Wang Fu Beijing Dumplings
Dumplings. Is there anything they can’t do?

Not so, my health-conscious chums. Wallets and waistline were damned as we devoured some Western-style treats, and they were so tasty that I wanted to share our shame with you.
H was staring at a Tsim Sha Tsui map when he noticed somewhere called Awfully Chocolate. We needed no more encouragement than that to stop by the next time we were in the vicinity.
