finally got the collages up, super lazy bout it. haha.
day 1: 3rd Jan 2009, sat.
we were at the airport super early even though our flight was at 9am as we had to do a group check-in and truth be told, the tour guide was kinda screwed up as well. brought my parents along for this trip!
dim sum attack @ yung kee, central!
and we were at harbour city, tsim sha tsui area in the evening for sightseeing and the symphony of lights display. super windy and cold while admiring the display of lights, we walked past avenue of stars in a jiffy though as it was too crowded to take photos and all.
dinner was at mongkok and of course, we walked around ladies street and all. the whole street looks like a big pasar malam to me and, there was nothing much to buy. in fact, i did very little shopping this trip. supper was at 许留山, but as i was having very bad digestion and gastric issues, my mum barred me from all cold food. sulks.
day 2: 4th Jan 2009, sun.
sightseeing day @ lantau island!
the roomie, joe and i woke up super early at 630 to have breakfast so that we can meet my folks @ hong kong mtr to tung chong. the air at lantau island was pretty refreshing and we went to the great buddha, po lin monastery, and a walk of wisdom. see pictures!!!
we didnt really shop much at the factory outlets @ tung chong cos we were pretty hungry and there was nothing much to eat at the shopping mall. we did focused shopping at the few shops we wanted to go and proceed back to town for some 大家乐!
the roomie and i proceeded to causeway bay to meet ernest while my parents went to check out their macau ferry tickets for the next day. it was good seeing him again, the last time we met was almost a yr ago during CNY at his place. haha, he's still as funny! and we went to eat again, at 沙嗲王! it's similar to the hong kong cafe in singapore but stuff in hk is a lil saltier and tastier yah.
company dinner was back at tst and due to the timing, we missed a visit to the peak with my folks. thus, we met them at their hotel instead, think they were pretty tired cos they walked the whole day as well. we had a bit of roast goose and honestly, i cant differentiate the taste between the goose and duck. so...
the roomie and i went to temple street after we left my parent's place. lots of good food around but we just cant eat anymore. we had 龟灵膏 at 海天堂 though, the 龟灵膏 is much better than that of 许留山 la. and we found free internet access inside the mtr stations.
back to central and lwan gui fang at night. haha.
day 3: 5th Jan 2009, mon.
home sweet home.
my parents extended their stay and went to macau the day instead.
day 3 was dim sum attack again at another restaurant which ernest recommended. honestly, the standard of dim sum in hk, you can not find in singapore at the same price.
then it was last min shopping for 恒香老婆饼s and 奇华凤梨 foodies. the aunites were very happy with us cos we pretty much cleared all their 老婆饼 on the shelves.
i really did very little shopping this trip, if not for the guccis heels i bought when my parents went to macau. haha. and i've got an espirit denim skirt and addidas jacket at a steal. and lots of pineapple tarts and some 老婆饼 s no bags cos i wont use them anyway, clothing is limited cos the shops are selling mostly winter stuff.
the nxt time we go hong kong again, we are going to try all the 大排挡s and the porridge which chang claimed that will make us tear. haha. and we missed the peak this time round as there was a company dinner, shrugs. we missed wong tai sin. disneyland wasnt on our itinery. i want to go to ocean park too. a pretty rush trip i must say, couldnt extend as i was going to osaka the following night.
nevertheless, i will return to hong kong again! =)
