Hong Kong Trip


This is the long awaited Hong Kong trip post! I went there just about one month ago on my bro's birthday. Went for a short five-days free & easy trip with my eldest brother and mum. Didn't take many photos, mainly are food, food and FOOD. So beware, if you're hungry, don't scroll down anymore!

LOVE my socks?? Fyi, it's cookie monster! I bought it from Japan.

We stayed at Express by holiday inn at Causeway bay. This is one of those few stalls that we went.
They served wanton mee.




Look at the picture above clearly. Did you see the aunty using the stick to close the door? I managed to capture a clearer one this time! It's so damn funny and unique way of closing door la! HAHAH. I guess the aunty is so damn lazy!

Qoo bottle so cute. The coca cola one cuter but didn't manage to snap it.



Mummy love <3


There are so many XU LIU SHAN in hk. Wherever I walk, I will definitely see this dessert stall. Even in the airport!





Had dinner at The Spaghetti House on the first day or 2nd day just beside our hotel. Because it was raining, we were so lazy to open umbrella, so we just settle at this restaurant. They served Awesome clam chowder soup! It's so much nicer than the one in Sg.


Dim sum at Central. In hk, nobody stand at the counter and serve you. Every single thing is self service. Find your own seats, share with strangers, get your own food, even anyhow put chopsticks and spoon on the dirty table. Very unhygienic! BUT, food was awesome!



Famous claypot rice can be found along Mongkok street. Those ladies street there. I tried something new which is frog leg claypot rice! And don't forget, their fish egg is a MUST-TRY. What makes it so nice is the CURRY sauce! If you don't already know, fish egg is fish cake.


These egg tarts can be purchased from Central. You have to walk up the hill, it's quite tiring but worth climbing. It's really nice, especially when it's all heated up.


We got 2 each. Look at the happy 'kids' ! HAHA


H&M! There are quite a few outlets in hk. They are just like forever 21 but cheaper by a bit with more varieties. We went to the one in Mongkok, Central, Tsim Sha Shui. Actually all H&M outlets sell the same thing. But because I couldn't get the sizes that I want from Central, I went to all the outlets that I can find to thorougly find the items and the worse part is that the shop is DAMN HUGE!


Had dinner at this hk cafe at Central. The bun is superb! I think it's called butter bun as polo bun was out of stock. My black pepper steak spaghetti cost less than S$10 I think!


Desserts again at Mongkok. I heard this dessert house is famous in hk. We ordered a lot. Even the sesame paste has tang yuan in it. Their durian ice and pancake are nice too!

Never doubt the looks of the porridge. It's a famous stall just right above the market in Mongkok. Their fish can just melt in your mouth. Porridge is even smoother than the one at Crystal jade. Not forgetting the you tiao, it's very very crispy!

We decide to head to Macau on the 2nd last day as we were almost done with shopping.
Took a ferry down and it was so shaky that I actually had motion sickness on the way there as I was already having headache earlier. Coming back was so much better.



Okay I dunno what's this place called but I think it's something you shouldn't miss when you're in Macau.

Catholic Church in Macau.



We found one egg tart stall which also sells pork burger. However, the egg tart is not as nice as I expect it to be, it tasted normal to me. I guess that's not the famous stall. Bubble tea just so-so only but the queue was long.

I'm forever in my cardigan! This is due to the weather in hk as it was raining on the first few days, it was really cold. When it's hot, I will still wear it to prevent myself from getting sun burnt. So stubborn right? haha

Some famous Church that was half destroyed during their war.
I love the outlook out this church, the feel is so nice.

We went to this new casino. It was so grand, unlike Sg. Won some moo-lah. Happy girl :D

On the last day, we woke up so much earlier and went to Yau Ma Tei for dimsum. The place can only accommodate 20 people. It opens at 10am everyday, we reached at 9.45 with a long queue and waited for almost 2 hours before our turn. Really that famous? Food was okay! Maybe I don't have much appetite for breakfast! But it's really cheap!

If you need good places to shop in hk, you can try Argyle centre at Mongkok. Their things are quite cheap and it's like bugis st. H&M is a MUST to visit. There's also a lot of shoes shop beside ladies street selling it at affordable price.
