TAR 17 EP 10 "I Hate Chinese Food" (Hong Kong, China)
Chateau d If:
The Sushi Showdown task was one that would have been a lot easier with a bright LED head lamp. Those LEDs have a spectral emission that is slammed hard to the blue end of the rainbow. It would be possible to actually see a distinct coloration coming from the faux food when illuminated by LED lamps.
I'll have to ask Racers if they were forbidden to use their flashlights! :lol:

Maybe they were limited to the use of the chopsticks, or maybe they didn't think of it, although Thomas has a degree and :blahblah:

Sorry if this came up already, but as a Japanese, I feel I have to stand up and say this....
In this leg, Phil mentioned that Hong Kong was known not only for its lavish buffets, but also the intricately made food displays made out of plastic.
It may be commonly seen in Hong Kong, but "fake food" for the purpose of restaurant displays was invented in Japan..., not in Hong Kong.
Just sayin'... :waves:
Cocoa:
"Commonly seen" is not equal with "invented in." :waves:

Plastic food displays have saved me more than once! I have fond memories of pointing out what I wanted to eat in the windows when I couldn't speak the language.
