HongKong Day 3

finally my 3rd post of hongkong :p so lazee to blog nowadays...hehe
kicked off our 3rd day with hongkie's breakfast (again?)..but difference restaurant...if u love dairy product, u should nv missed this...Yee Shun Milk Company (义顺牛奶公司), dey are good in double-steamed Milk Pudding, Steamed Egg Pudding as well as scambled egg...


althrough it looks so antique but it has a huge turnover of customers


moo moooooo


texture is super smooth...cant judge which 1 is better...yesterday or today? both are just great!

learned from yesterday experience, this time we ordered just 1 set...which include below...reasonable in price...

scambled egg...! wow, this egg is just heaven! no way to imagine till u try it!!


again? macaroni + ham + chicken broth...this is better than yesterday...i think :) but he said yesterday better?


milk tea, an include item in every set...no comment for this :p milk tea nv be my favourite...


the must visit spot for the day was lantau island, for the giant buddha as well as SHOPPING in varies factory outlets...!!! so excited!! hehe..!

the route will be Mongkok > Lai Keng > Tung Chung


bakery shop @ Tung Chung station, slyvene mentioned the lau poh peng from this is very nice...so i gave it a try...dunno how to compare to Yuen Long lou poh peng...as both tasted a bit difference...both oso within my liking...


the view is just magnificient!!


amazing!!!

the Giant Buddha located at Ngong Ping Village, there are 2 routes from Tung Chung MTR station to Ngong Ping Village, either bus or cable car...of course i wouldnt bus...*grin* mentioned about the cable car, there are actually 2 types...standard vs crystal cabin...which the latter 1 is fully transparent, where u stand on is transparent as well...sounds cool? i didnt aware of this until i read an article abt this on my way to yogja...-__-' not sure how much is the price, but definately way expansive compare with the standard cabin - HKD 96 for round trip...

we took abt 25mins to reach Ngong Ping village...well, nth so special abt the village, series of retail stores/shop houses...can get things like stabucks, aji iciban and so on...we used about 20mins 2 reach the giant buddha...the statue is really HUGE!! and it is the world’s tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha...


ngong ping village




cool, huh?? it is just so HUGE~

after this we proceed to the "wisdom path"...the walking distance abt 2km (i guess)...took us more than 20mins..!! it is so far and very deep inside where no1 actually aware abt this amazing spot...it consists of 38 wooden columns each adorned by calligraphic work of the heart sutra, a mantra that is universally accepted and respected by Buddhists...



the HUGE mountain is in ur eyes! What a truly majestic sight!


according to colleague, must take this in lantau island...the tauhua is so soft!!! just melt in ur mouth!

Before head towards 2 hongkong...we had lunch 1 in of the japs restaurant in ngong ping village, the soba soup is way far from my liking...-___-" apart from that, there are bunch of online review mentioned about 滿記甜品 Honeymoon Dessert...so we gave it a try...well...for the rating, overall still good, but not perfect...hehe...am too fussy :p



mango pancake...not Mango enough..haha! the mango taste isnt rich enough to win my heart...and i dun like the cream in it...taste weird


this is not bad...kinda special...black seasame + glutinous

Right after this, we took the cable back to tung chung again...went to the biggest factory outlet!! tot it's going to be shopping paradise...bit dissapointed...turned out to be not...am i being fussy/choosy again??

took MTR backed to the hotel and moved all our stuff...coz we moved to another hotel...funny, huh? coz i wanted to try better hotel... moved to Cityview hotel...in Yau Ma Tei...very very near to my farvourite shopping street...!! Tung Chai street!! can get kinda sneakerrr!!! esp nike n converse!!!!! ^0^


hotel lobby, by seeing the hotel lobby, it gave me the confident that the room will be good...


way better than Largos...price is slighly increase only...still less than RM300(if not mistaken :p)...

after settling down, we straight aheaded to tung choi street...!! place i love the most in hongkong...! bought 1 nike n 1 converse...the price is cool and the shoes is cool!! esp nike RM150 only..!! and the model u cant find it in malaysia, ok? it is pink + metalic grey...look sweet...:)

whole nite was shopping n shopping, looked for iphone for fren, rm2500, according to her it is cheapest compare to everywhere? den we looked for sovenior, yuan long loh poh peng...bla bla bla...oh, my H20 as well! *wink wink*
too busy for shopping, so had McD as dinner...! tried pork burger (as i owaz do), miami likes pork than chicken :D and we can choose either french fries or curly fries...well, i adore curly fries owaz compare to french fries

few hours just not enough for an omost-shopaholic like me...hehe! not yet a shopaholic, @ least i am not owaz crave for branded stuff, huh!!
b4 backed to hotel, we grabbed some curry fishball (heaven!!!), grill octopu and smelly tauhu (yucks!!) as supper!! enjoying lastest series of tvb drama and munching my favourite snack food is definately the biggest satisfaction!! life is so wonderful...^0^

what do u think?

Geezz!! after i updated my previous post i got many IM, ping me and scolded me for going hongkong again! so this is my fault huh?? -____-"

Started my day with Australia Dairy Company, a must go destination if you keen to try what hongkie loves to eat every morning...it's having very good online review, so i know i must try! and i love it, my breakfast there just perfect! no DOUBT!


we reached there abt 9:30am...they welcomed me wif a long queue -___-"

Anyway, this cafe was famous for it's scambled egg, steam milk, and ginger egg custard...well, we were so greedy! we ordered a lot...of course couldnt finish 'em all :p haha!




Ginger egg custard, i like da ginger taste, not too strong, yet smell great


famous steam milk, so smooth and silky

we ordered breakfast set, a typical 1...not only look appetizing, but taste wonderful!


hong kong signature - coffee milk tea


this is nice, just a lil' regret i didnt order scambled egg which what they are famous for...


macaroni with ham and chicken soup/broth? i wish my mum know the recipe for this :)

once we finished our breakfast we took MTR and proceed to Disneyland...the route will be Mongkok > Lai Keng > Sunny Bay > Disneyland...*sweat*


cute, huh? Disney theme even inside the MTR

The entrance ticket is HKD 350 per pax...we went there on Saturday, not sure weekday will be cheaper? however, it wasnt a good day to snap photos...as it was very gloomy...




my favourite cartoon since i was a kid...i love minnie *smirk*


yeah, not to forget the parade, they have it everyday, dun miss it!


this is the moment every1 wait for! the iconic fireworks from the sleeping beauty castle!

haha...a bit paiseh, my disneyland journey just few photos and brief explanations...seriously, it is not big...just as every1 told me b4 i went...watever, i do enjoyed much over there...undeniable!

wat's next? time to talk abt the dinner! it was heavenly great! we went for wantan mee! 麥文記麵家 Mak Man Kee Noodle Shop...another must stop spot in hongkong! it has abt 50 yrs of history! am not a big fan for wantan noodles. but this is just awesome!



the noodles are so springy! and the prawn dumpling are juicy and extremely fresh! this is the best ever wantan noodles i have tasted! as if they were dancing in my mouth!


油菜 - which is Oil + Vege, without any other sauces...plain vege +oil...but the vege are very green n fresh!

these are not enough to fill my tummy...went 2 my favourite place - Hui Lau Shan!! tried last trip in hongkong, and i can nv forget how fantastic it tasted!


you can never miss this is u r mango lover! seeing the pic enough to make my saliva drool~~

done wif dinner and we had a walk in 庙街 aka Temple street...attraction targetted the foreign tourists...but obviously not malaysian...haha...as we can get most of the thg same in petalling street :p

backed 2 my hotel right after the walk in temple street...

thoughts of day: hongkong really a food paradise..! i had all good food today! and i really enjoyed them so much! tmr will continue my food exploration!

touched down hongkong at 2pm+...no words could be use to decribe how cheering i was tat time..!! yeah yeah!!




the companies i work for are so rich, advertise here n there, but why i totally da other way 'round?

Staying at Largos hotel...colleague recommended...she went few months back b4 mine...3 stars hotel, rm250+ per night...very very small room...but is clean n wat suppose to be there, be there....


had my lunch abt 3pm!! hungry to da max!! simply grabbed somefood nearby the hotel...


His lunch, namely Singapore bee Hon, but tasted like Malay fried bee hon...




my lunch set, HKD24, the scambled egg was nice, but the spagetti...by seeing it, u know what it's going to taste like -__-'

Since we were kinda late already, so we just planned for Man Mo temple, IFC mall and park lane shoppers boulevard
take MTR to Central 中环, den take Tram to man mo temple...travel such a long way, omost reach tat time, a aunty told us the temple close at 5pm...*sweat*...since then we proceed to IFC mall....den reached there, and the huge ZARA outlet on renovation...wat the heck?? not my day, huh? den we proceed to Admiralty 金钟, Pacific Place...luck still wif me :) got wat i want!!

failed to visit Man Mo temple...but bumped into the wet market

dinner over Little Sheep! finally got da chance to pamper my taste bud withthe juicy lamb from Inner Mongolia!! how fabulous the hotpot is!! i love especially the soup!! Little Sheep currently has over 300 chain restaurants covering 34 provinces in China, and also the United States, Japan and Canada. i bet this is the awesome and you MUST TRY!


there are many outlets in hongkong, but from online review the branch we went in Tsim Sha Tsui gained the most points... not to forget we waited for omost 45mins to get seated...


we took "eat all u can" package...HKD138...it is more than worth!! the soups is the best!
herbal soup + Mongolia spicy soup...

pork rib...too full...so we just hav a small bite then leave it :p

this is the STAR of night!! the juicy mongolian lamb! i dun really adore lamb, but this is way so difference...so fresh!


lamb satay...this is very good...still the GZ mongolian lamb satay taste the best!
the last stop b4 we backed to hotel was the Park Lane Shopper's Boulevard, it is approximately 300 metres long with over 50 shops.This all inclusive shopping mall houses a vast array of retail shops. These shops cover clothing, shoes and accessories, cosmetic, jewellery, sportswear, leatherwear and a whole lot more...cool, right?
shopped/walked along the street with cool air was something so relax...!
well, that is it for the 1st day...! exhausted but happy :)

Asprolithi Beef medallions, beef in peloponnesso cabernet sauvign sauce, wif spiced caramelised onions, rosted sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and rocket salad...i ordered a medium done, it was so juice yet not bloody...


Astakos Bahhan, hummp...crayfish baked with east asian-style herbs butter with tumeric cream sauce, too creamy and crayfish...which is totally not my thing, but they seems adore it...

Singapore Day 3

met up with the NG bros after lunch...over Bugis junction...

knowing he wanted to buy the high speed 8gb pendrive kinda thg (no idea i write it right, watever :p) so chow beng n my bro went out to look for him, bcoz i m not tat kind to crawl under the hot sun to get this so-called order done...so, while waiting the 2 guys to suffer on road, i went for my shopping alone in bugis junction...

the 1st shop i went in was GUESS, not looking anything in specified, but saw the BIG 50% banner!! luring me...ended up, bought a big pink hobo bag...

30mins later, met up wif Wei Ming...and just wandering around the complex and starbucking...waiting the 2 no-idea-where-dey-go guys to be backed...weiming ordered me greentea latte, 1st taste was sucks...but later when i backed in pg, i found it awesome!! thanks for introducing it, huh!!

went central for dinner, over Pasta de Waraku, japs pasta, dunno why i agreed for this? i found this the curve and piramid, but just dun feel attracted to it...





and it proved me right, not really that attractive, or should i say taste good...just normal...and small portion...

after the dinner, we went for beer, desserts as well...forgot the place adi, in Clark Quay? -__-" good ambience tat's it...

feel tired, so went back home abt 11pm...


**thanks for the treat! i will definately do the same if u r in malaysia!**
