Hong Kong Day 3

260610

The highlights of the day were Yung Kee & Tai Cheong. Went to Central to search for them.

We were unable to get up the shuttle bus coz there were tons of "C" people in front of us! Gonna wait for the next one which was 20 minutes later. Took pictures while waiting...

Tai Cheong egg tarts, something which I will never miss when I go to Hong Kong

My love


Gonna brave through the rain to get to the restaurant

Had a sumptuous meal @ Yung Kee

Hong Kong Day 2

Hong Kong - Disneyland

Woke up at 6am (so that we can take the earliest shuttle bus at 7am) to go for dim sum before going to Disneyland but to our disappointment, the dim sum restaurant only open at 9am. We were more than an hour early!

We decided to give it a miss and make our way to Disneyland.

Disappointment no. 1: No dim sum

Excitement before disappointment

Yes, we were too early for Disneyland too. The Disneyland in HKG only opens at 10am and the rides are only available at 10.30am!

I have been to so many Disneylands around the world and none of them open so late! OMG, wasted our time lazing at the entrance...

Disappointment No. 2: Waiting time of 1 hour for Disneyland to start operations

Before entering Disneyland

Ok, you should have guess the 3rd disappointment by now...

Disappointment no. 3: HKG Disneyland is miserably small as compared to the rest of the Disneyland around the world

Well, it is also less crowded. We didn't even take a single fastpass coz there wasn't a need to...For those popular rides, the max waiting time was only around 15 - 20 minutes. =)

Only spent half a day in Disneyland, went shopping at Tung Chung after that...

Sighz, the Tough outlet at Tung Chung has moved! Didn't manage to buy the Tough bag. =(

I love my Staccato Shoes!

Hong Kong Day 1

SIN-HKG via Cathay Pacific

We has been planning for this HKG trip since March and finally we managed to travel together. =)

Our day 1 in HKG is just about shopping & having street snacks at Mongkok & Prince Edward. Staying at Harbour Plaza 8 degree, a hotel which was located kinda far from town, we have to leave the bustling districts at 10 pm (so that we can catch the last shuttle bus at 10.20pm at Tsim Sha Tsui), which is kinda a spoilsport as HKG is a place filled with active night life.

Though this was my 12th visit to HKG (my last visit was in November'09), I still love visiting the country and managed to try something new such as the mango sago drink (which I really liked it!) and the pepper handmade noodles (which was too hot for me to finish the entire bowl)

My boarding pass - Change of seat from 51C to 54G.

The ground staff told us that the inflight entertainment systems at our original seats weren't working and thus, they had to change our seats. However, when we were onboard the flight, we realised that the inflight entertainment systems at 51A - C were working perfectly fine. In fact, there were passengers seated our original seats. Puzzled...did the ground staff lie to us as some other passengers wanted our seats? If so, they must be really stupid to have done that. Come on, we aren't blind k!

Camwhoring before we reach HKG

In the airport transfer bus to the hotel.

We were supposed to take the 1.15pm bus but we missed it as the bus co-ordinator simply ignore us when we asked him to show us to our bus. Gotta wait for about 30 mins for the next one so was having buns in the airports to curb our hunger.

Habour Plaza 8 Degree - our hotel room

There were urine stains on the toilet bowl when we check-in to the room. I have stayed in so many hotels before and this was the first time I had such an unpleasant experience. The housekeeping staff need to be more vigilant in ensuring that such incidents don't happen again. It creates a very negative first impression.
