Hong Kong, a random destination with my friend for 4D3N.
Made the bookings and there we go.
I really love the fast-paced city and everyone seem to be so efficient.

Yes, including the walking pace where you can hardly find someone blocking your way.
Hey, that's my walking speed too and I like it.
Clean and organised - words that I would describe Hong Kong.

 Itinerary:
Check in > Ho Hung Kee Congee & Noodle Wantun Shop > Tom Lee Music Outlet > Lan Kwai Fong > Hollywood Road & Upper Lascar Row/ "Cat Street" > Tai Cheong Bakery > Man Mo Temple > Western Market > Stanley Market > Stanley Waterfront > Stanley Promenade v Murray House > Stanley Plaza > Times Square @ Causeway Bay > leisure street walk around Causeway Bay area

The dry noodle was too sweet due to excessive honey sauce; the noodle soup was good.




Long queue right after we step out from the restaurant. we were very lucky to dine over there right away without having the need to queue.

Fresh from owen, I must say the egg tart was really crispy and the aroma of it filled the air even before you enter the bakery shop! Must try

The historic Man Mo Temple 文武庙 that was built in the 27th year of Emperor Daoguang, Qing Dynasty (1847 A.D.).







it's a pretty common thing that you can see pet dogs (no stray dogs at all!) are everywhere and there's even a special spot for 'dog parking'!
that Husky was really a good dog





Hui Lau San 许留山 Dessert. Nothing special, it's almost the same price and same small portion that we can get in Malaysia.

Street food at late night: 鱼蛋烧卖 Fish balls & dumplings HKD 20 (12 pieces)
Not very fresh and they were quite sticky.

Well, we actually went to 2 music outlets today: Tom Lee Music & Parsons Music, concluded that the books over there were not cheaper than what we can get back in our own country :(
Anyway, it was good that the 2 outlets were just walking distant from our place.

Itinerary:
Lin Heung Tea House > St. John's Cathedral > Peak Tramway > Victoria Peak > ... (tbc in next blog entry!)

Yay, I manage to wake up on time early in the morning (perhaps that's the power of my favourite breakfast: dim sum). haha





One thing I realise was that Hong Kong bun outer layer and skin of the dumplings, cheong fun or wonton tend to be real thick. Perhaps that's the original HK style?
So this breakfast cost us HKD $128 in total including chinese tea.
Food was fresh, overall quite nice but the skin was a bit thick for me.. haha
Another michelin-starred restaurant.

I really love the licensed plat over there. ICEMAN, LOVE YOU, BEN 10 are the few that caught my sight and stayed in my mind. Ohya, ICEMAN was drove by a lady!



St. John's Cathedral, the oldest surviving western ecclesiastical building in HK, the oldest Anglican church in the Far East that was built in 1849. The 2nd church that I've entered besides the Wesley Methodist church in my former high school that was built in 1897.



there was a team of church members doing cleaning job; they were really particular and mindful on that.




It was another world on the peak... And... More details coming up on next blog post!
