I understand it may sound strange. But given we've spent a lot on tickets, tours and accommodations, we'd like to spend less on food, which is the least important thing to us. My wife sometimes even jokes if there's a pill that can provide all nutrition a person need, she would take that every day and forgo the ability/choice to eat any other thing.

Ah yes, how did I forget sandwiches when I type bread? And I love sandwiches too. Thanks!

Any particular suggestions that you've enjoyed playing? I've mostly been playing GBA pokemon romhacks (Radical Red mainly) and Fire Emblem Romhacks.

Why would Lemmy be blocked in Hong Kong? Because of politics? If so, I don't think the government is aware of this community.

This is a government that had repeatedly asked Google for months to remove/hide a specific song, which they deem it as breaching national security law, from search results when people search "Hong Kong National Anthem", instead of uploading the official one on youtube or even any government website and promoting it.

Never heard of couscous! Will do some research on this, thanks!

We do want some taste of local cuisine, so ready-made meals in supermarket would be awesome.

Yea, now I'm looking forward to Iceland's tap water!

In Hong Kong, they are separate and toilet water is much cheaper. Not sure about other countries.

Speaking of drinking from toilet, I've heard a story that a janitor in Japan was so proud of his work on cleaning the toilet that he dares to drink from toilet.

Thanks for key mapper! That would be very handy for me.

I love bread! Though my wife, not so much. We do plan to go to supermarket, thanks for suggestions!

Great suggestions! Beans and such would be great for dietery fibre.

Pasta salad is not common in Asia, but do seems like a good choice. Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed reply! Great list of examples help us a lot.

Great list of examples! Yes we'll try out the restaurants a few times I guess.

Yes hot dog! We've bookmarked it already but your firsthand experience has made me more eager to try!

My wife likes hardboiled eggs more than I do, I think she would love to have some. Thanks!

Lol I thought I misread but yeah noice Cantonese.

Good to know, at least there are more affordable choices should we prefer not to cook or prepare anything.

We do plan to cook at the hotel we've booked, but not sure what type of food are more suitable to be brought as lunch without microwave. In HK, we often cook rice and such and use microwave to reheat for lunch.

Caponata is new to me, and cheese would be great!

I've never eaten cold pasta or pizza slice but they sound cool. Thanks!

Thanks for the reminder, I believe anything but meat or diary product is fine, but will check again.

It's a vampire survivors like bullet heaven game. Edit: I mean Brotato.

Seems like boiling water is a tradition is Asia/Chinese region.

Monolith and Mini Rogue, lightweight twin shooter rogue lite bullet hell games.

I use chance/chan, and yes it's open source. Though I didn't used 4chan until the Reddit API controversy.

I will bring some food like nuts and some will be brought in grocery storea/supermarkets there.

What do you mean by customs tomfoolery?

Ah yes, how did I forget sandwiches when I type bread? And I love sandwiches too. Thanks!
