This weekend I was able to escape the city and hit the hiking trail to do some camping. I've been feeling a bit restless in Hong Kong lately, so this was just what the doctor ordered! :) It's so nice to be out in nature and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We hiked about an hour and a half to the beach in the picture below and set up camp right on the sand.
We got there with just about 30 minutes of daylight left, so we quickly gathered some firewood, set up our tents and began to make a fire. The occasion for camping was to celebrate Maria's birthday, so I was trying to think of a way to bring a cake out there when a friend suggested these orange cakes....amazing! You cut the top off an orange and scoop out the orange (which is a good pre-dinner appetizer!) and then prepare cake batter, pour it in, put the top back on, wrap in aluminum foil, and cook in the fire for about 20-30 minutes. So easy and so tasty! :)

After taking a beautiful boat trip back to Sai Kung, we decided to hit up Paisano's for some delicious NY style pizza!
What a great weekend! :)

Those little orange cakes might be the most creative thing I've ever seen! Definitely going to remember them for my next camping trip! :) Glad that HK is treating you well, Miss Dana!
