I’m finally back from Hong Kong. The 5 days 4 nights stay there is definitely an experience worth cherishing. Photos are only temporal but memories are everlasting. *Winks*


I loveee taking airplanes (minus the blocked ears)! I think pilots are hot~ and I’m considering being an air stewardess. =D Got 2 miniature bottles of baileys from an air stewardess too. Wanted to get a bottle of choc truffles flavored ice wine but after realizing it was in US dollars, we changed our minds. Haha. Reached HK airport at around 10.30am and that’s when our “cam-whoring” session began. Photos will be uploaded soon. Promise. =D


Day 1 in Hong Kong

Checked into the hotel at Tsim Sha Tsui. Dumped our belongings in the hotel room and went out to hunt for lunch. Went to the restaurant I went to the last time I came to HK. My honey had roasted duck rice while I had a bowl of century egg lean meat porridge. Ordered 2 cups of HK milk tea too. Their rice portion is humongous! I can even divide it into 3 portions – breakfast, lunch and dinner. Imagine the mountain of white rice. Seeing it already makes me feel full, much less eating it. After that, we roamed the streets of Tsim Sha Tsui and somehow, we managed to cover the area in 1 and a half days. And not forgetting my favourite egg tarts from this bakery along Cameron Street. The egg is so soft, the crust flakey, piping hot and fresh from the oven, just one bite makes me feel like I’m on cloud nine. My most favourite egg tart in Sg cant even beat it, much less crystal jade’s. Went to Mong Kok at night and had walnut paste and mango pudding for dessert. My honey bought a pair of adidas sneakers for his bro while I bought an adidas jacket for my bro. We’re such sweet siblings. Riteeee.


Day 2 in Hong Kong

Woke up early for DIM SUM Breakfast. Brought my honey to the dim sum restaurant in Yau Ma Tei. Their century egg lean meat porridge there rocks! Its like 100 times better than the best of the bestest best porridge in Singapore. We ordered har gao, xiao long bao, chang fen, siew mai, pan fried carrot cake n some chicken claws tingy. After Brunch, we headed to Causeway Bay. Went to times square and almost bought Royce chocs but found out from my aunt that those in Sg were much cheaper. Bought a cup of mango juice with mango sago and mango cubes inside from Hui Lao Shan. The popular mango dessert house in Hong Kong. Found Edison’s Juice Shop but my EVIL BF refuses to let me go up.Hmpf~ Went back to Tsim Sha Tsui after that. Bought a Chocolate cake and fruit tart from Maxim’s Bakery for tea. Rested our poor aching feet a while in the hotel room b4 heading to Temple Street. Had seafood there as well. Ordered steamed fish, scallops and vegetables. Their seafood there is super cheap. So just whack.


Day 3 in Hong Kong

Woke up late and so dint manage to have dim sum for breakfast. Walked into a restaurant nearby for brunch. I had fishball wanton noodles while my honey had roasted duck rice with fried egg again. According to my honey, the roasted duck rice here isn’t as good as compared to the one he had in Day 1. My noodles wasn’t so bad. Their fishballs are very tasty! Now I know why everyone says Hong Kong’s fishball noodles is a die die must try. You have to try it for urself to know. =P And as usual, I bought another egg tart. Had dinner at the restaurant we went to in Day 1 and ordered Yang zhou fried rice and a plate of veggies. Was still a little hungry so we bought snacks from a street stall. I bought fishballs dipped in some curry sauce while my honey bought some funny looking high in chlolestrol tingy. Think its pig’s intestines? Then we went to Central. Used the toilet in Ritz Carlton Hotel. Their toilets are uber grand and they have people to assist and serve you. I felt like a true princess for once. Cam-whored again at santa’s town b4 heading to The Peak. The queue was extremely long! I felt like I was in Australia’s theme park once again, queueing up for the roller coaster rides. But the queue was pretty fast moving as the peak tram could ferry large crowds. It was freezing at The Peak but the view was spectacular. We cam-whored again and managed to take a few snapshots of the fireworks display down at avenue of stars. Had 2 large fries and a chocolate fudge sundae at The Peak’s Burger King outlet. Eating ice-cream out in the cold night air (think its 10 degs) = SHIOK. In fact, I dint feel so cold after eating it. Think my honey cldnt take it so I helped him eat abit of his ice-cream. Yummy~ Went to The Peak Gallery to cam-whore again. This time we manage to get scarves. The scarves definitely helped to keep us warm, otherwise I would have turned into a block of ice. There was this shop that sold gelato as well. They had many lovely balloons in the shop and I was tempted to get a cup of hazelnut flavoured gelato but ended up, I dint.


Day 4 in Hong Kong

Woke up late AGAIN. Intended to get up at 8.30am so we could have dim sum for breakfast but don’t know why the alarm didn’t ring. Had brunch at the same restaurant again. My honey had yang zhou fried rice while I ate something really sinful. ROASTED DUCK + CHARSIEW RICE. Sinful but NICE. You hardly see any layers of fats on the roasted duck skin, unlike in Singapore where I always have a hard time trying to scrap the fats out. Hong Kong’s ducks skin is big and crunchy, 1 bite and the oil oozes out in ur mouth. Ummmm. Then I bought egg tarts again! This time I bought 2! It was meant for later in the evening as we intended to camp early at Avenue of stars to catch the Christmas fireworks. The fireworks display only starts at 8pm and we camped there at around 5 plus. Got a good corner spot. We bought somemore cakes and buns from a bakery nearby to feed our hungry stomachs. I only ate 1 egg tart caused my honey CRUSHED it with his big flabby ass. Argh!! Hahahaha. After the fireworks display, we roamed around aimlessly in Tsim Sha Tsui. All the roads were blocked and you could just walk freely on the streets like nobody’s business. The streets were flooded with people but surprisingly there wasn’t any human jam. People there were calm and moved in an orderly manner. We decided to walk down Granville Street again to see if there were any last minute Christmas sales. My honey got a pair of nike dunks while I got another egg tart from another shop. Haha. Also nice but not as nice as the one from the bakery. Went back to the hotel to relieve myself and put the shoes b4 heading out to the streets again. We wanted to see what people in Hong Kong will do when the clock strikes 12. Its more happening in Hong Kong actually. There are groups of carol singers, people selling balloons etc. You can practically feel the Christmas spirit. We got ourselves a Christmas hat from watsons to join in the festive mood. My honey stuffed his hat with toilet paper so that it stands. Attracting many curious stares. Hurhurhur. Then we saw a huge crowd gathering just outside our hotel and we decided to check it out. Once we got into the crowd, there was no turning back. Everyone was excited and looking forward to something but both me and my honey had no idea what was going to happen. We were just following blindly. Then we realized that everyone was rushing to the clock tower to see the clock strike 12. I thought there was going to be a fireworks display again but no, they only wanted to see the clock strike 12. So Lame. Ended up we had to walk a long way back to our hotel as the roads were blocked. Its like so near yet so far. I was so shagged I plonked on my bed and went straight to sleep.


Day 5 in Hong Kong (Christmas Day)

Forced ourselves to wake up early so that we could have dim sum for breakfast. Ordered mostly steamed stuff as my honey had cloked up arteries. Hahaha. Drank many cups of Chinese tea to wash away the oil. Our tour agent will only pick us up to drive us to the airport at 4.30pm. We had 5 hours to slack away. Walked around aimlessly again. Went to starbucks to chill. Ordered a choc frap. Bumped into some fortune teller guy who kept blabbering nonsense and insisted that we give him money. Told him we dint have anymore money and he asked for my honey’s credit card but its his misfortune to meet un-gullible people like us. He claims that his Indian God is dono what what what and I felt like telling him that My Jesus is far greater and more powerful than his Indian god. Thankfully he wasn’t some lunatic who will chase us down the street for money. Phew~ Thank God for his protection. =D

We had 3 more hours to slack away. Ta Bao’ed 8 egg tarts to bring back to Singapore. Went back to the same restaurant to chill again. Ordered Butter Bo Lo Baos and a cup of ice-lemon tea. Think the guy who works there can rmb us already, considering the fact that we are such frequent customers. Its one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Tsim Sha Tsui. The food is good, the portion is huge and its value for money. The service is great and the people there are really friendly.

Went back to the hotel to take a short nap at the main lobby. Security at the airport was extremely tight. Especially for United Airlines. We had to have our hand carry bags checked twice! I managed to get a window seat but my honey was allocated another seat 3 rows away from me. So disappointing. Asked the lady seating beside me to trade seats but she gave a strong firm NO! Stupid snobbish bitch.

Anyway...

Happy Belated Christmas to all with love from pamie the vermonster! =D
