WE LOVE JASPAS JUNKS

As the title suggests - maybe a little too much! In any case we have now been officially initiated into the 'JASPAS' Junk life. To be very honest, back in the day when we were first invited to these junks on the Jaspas boats our initial reaction would be 'you serious? how much? no way too expensive' Hold your horses folks, this is by far the most worth it way to spend your money on a Junk in Hong Kong. I haven't ever experienced such fun on a boat. List of things included: Two waiters, one driver, one cook, UNLIMITED ALCOHOL, from the moment you step on the boat they shower you with FOOD such as Quesidelias, lamb meat balls with yogurt sauce, Nachos, Chicken Satay's. When we dock at a unique destination (back when HK was British the Island we dock at was only for the Governor - now accessible to the public) where they put up a tent and continue you to serve UNLIMITED ALCOHOL - they bring out the beach balls, volley, footie and blow-up balls. After a good hour or two we get rowed back to the junk where there is a big buffet of potato salad, grilled: salmon, chicken breast & steak fillets (no fat), Greek salad and the yummiest ever bread buns. For dessert on our first boat was a mouthwatering moist chocolate cake and the last boat KRISPY KREME's selection of doughnuts to indulge in. IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH the alcohol is still pouring UNLIMITED, and did i forget to mention the TUNES playing on their superb sound system. Upstairs is decked with carpet in order to prevent slipping and sliding as ALL junks seem to have. STILL if that wasn't enough, on the ride back home out come the PIZZA'S to be precise MARGARITA AND PEPPERONI - Can you believe that?? This is by far the coolest JUNK ever to have existed on earth!

This all can be yours for the price of HK$550 per person - with a minimum booking requirement. For more information: Please call them directly - 2869 0733 They have 2 different sizes of junks available for cruises around Sai Kung Country Park. Boarding at Pak Sha Wan, Sai Kung or Noon Day Gun in Causeway Bay.

We are tentatively putting together 'The last days of warm weather' Jaspas Junk. If any of you are interested please comment or email us directly. We're thinking last week of October to be precise.

Here are some photos and a little clip:
