To complete our week in Honk Kong I believe I still owe you one last dinner. Since we started in Japan I found it only fitting to also finish with a Japanese meal (after all, it is my favorite cuisine and hugely popular in HK as well). In order to get to the restaurant I need to cross the Victoria Harbor to Kowloon via the "original" mode of transportation - the Star Ferry.

Most of these ferries are old - this one has almost 60 years of service.

The restaurant I was heading for is called "Gyu Kaku", a Japanese chain specializing in Yakiniku ;)
