I love Hong Kong - Day 3

Thought of having some dimsum today. Trained to Prince Edward and there's a long queue for One Dim Sum restaurant. Sian to the max. Don't feel like joining the queue leh. We searched elsewhere and came to this random dimsum place with a shorter queue.

Turn out the dimsum there is delish too.

 

 

Mango roll came first.

 

 

Followed by siew mai.

6HK for a piece of siewmai, minimum order is two pcs.

Worth the $$$. Very big prawn and very fresh too.

 

 

Hello! I'm eating dimsum in Hong Kong :)

 

 

Then the rest of our order came together.

CANNOT FINISH!!!!

 

 

After the hearty brunch, we explored Tung Choi Street towards Mongkok direction.

 

 

Many cute pets and exotic animal at that area.

We saw chameleons and thousand years old turtles.. Master wugui???

 

 

The goldfish market

 

 

GW was tempted to buy some back and start his aquarium hobby again..

Dear if you are reading... NO, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO SO!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Walked until abit tired and had a little KTV break

 

 

Costs HKD98 + 10% service charge per pax. Comes with 2 free drinks each.

We then went back to our hotel, grab some quick dinner at Aijisen andmake our way to Disneyland for the Haunted Halloween Special.

 

 

P/S: Will post Disneyland pictures in my next post!

I Love Hong Kong - Day 1

Touched down HongKong airport as per scheduled and took the Airport Express ride to HongKong station without much trouble. Had a good feeling about the trip until we got lost after exiting from the MTR. 

According to the map, the hotel is about 400m away from the MTR station. The city map we had was too large scale and didn't have the small streets in it and we can't find our way to the hotel. Gave up and flagged down a cab in the middle of the road but was asked to get down cuz he didn't know the place! Kwa Kwa... Asked around for directions and eventually found it after walking up and down for an hour. SO TIRED AND HUNGRY ALREADY CAN!!! ROAR!!!!!!

The Mini Hotel has a mini theme



Dying to check in and freshen up!!!



First place we went was the Avenue of Stars.
Snapped a few pictures and decided to come back for the night harbour view and laser show.
We left the place after we bought our Disneyland tickets from the nearby kiosk.



The peak tram is about 10 minutes walk from our hotel



Didn't bring our tripod stand so all our attempts to self take FAIL!



YAY! I'm going up up up!!!!

Many many people visiting the peak. We paid the tickets with octopus card, scan and go.
One way is HKD28 and the return trip costs HKD12.
We tramed both ways so that makes it HKD40 per person.



Managed to get good seats :)



The Bubba Gump restaurant at the Peak.
GW was craving to eat this since the last time we had it at US.



Care for a game of pingpong?



The halloween decorations in the restaurant



The view from our table while we are having our early dinner



Hmm, can't seem to capture the crazy disco lights at the bottom of his glass.



His pot of mussels. Love the butter sauce dip for the bread.
Still waiting for my shrimps to be served... Ho hum.



A picture of the night view from the peak



Another zipai fail.
Grabbing my hair cuz the wind was so strong up there!



GW says can see people walking around inside their apartments from the binoculars



Late night supper at PHO24.
He was super delighted to find chicken feet skin on the menu.



His beef pho. And his iced red bean milk for every meal.



Heading back to hotel, gotta pass by Lan Kwai Fong so went to check out the area.



The halloween decorations there is so happening!!!
Many angmohs there clubbing and drinking..



Took a closer picture of the chinese zombie, there are broken limbs hanging up there too.



The only shopping GW did in HK was this L-lens and a copy of his favourite lao fu zi comic.



Tadah!!!



Then he got a little thirsty....



Oh yeah... Drinks just taste better in a L-Lens cup.



Check back soon for my day 2 in Hong Kong ;)
