anyways, unhappy thoughts aside and time to get back to my Hong Kong trip! 1 more post to go and i'm done. :)
on our 3rd day in HK, it was Shopping Day! :D unfortunately, i woke up with a swollen right eye. wtf?! which explains why there won't be much pictures of myself. for breakfast, we headed to Central. my "studies" show that Lang Fong Yuen is on the top of the list but to our dismay, it was closed. it had a Mandarin note on the stall and according to other tourists (i asked them what the note means), they have moved to Sheung Wan. omg! sadded! :(
feeling disappointed, went through my stack of papers for alternatives and found out Lin Heung Tea House is just around the corner. so Dim Sum for breakfast it is!
it was really packed to the brim considering it was a Sunday but we managed to get ourselves a table, right beside the kitchen! :D
whenever the cart is out, Mr. Dong will chiong with all the other people and grab whatever he can. LOL!
it was almost 11 and i'm surprised most shops are not open yet/only about to open!
next stop, Tai Cheong Bakery for eggtarts! hmmm. :D
random boutique in a random lane. bought a floral dress for myself while Mr. Dong bought some stationery.
continued walking and here we are at Pottinger Street, also known as Stone Slab Street. granite stone steps are apparently rare in HK nowadays.
went for round 2 of crazy shopping in H&M. idk what's with me and H&M but i think the clothes there are nice + affordable. what say you? :)
we then stumbled upon Duddell Street and thought it rings a bell. went through our itinerary once again and found out that's where Starbucks Bing Suit is located (which we only intended to visit in the evening). good news for Mr. Dong cause i'm sure his feet need some rest from all the walking. :P
* the 4 remaining gas lamps after WW II.
so this 1950s Starbucks is a collaboration between Starbucks X G.O.D. everything is so retro!
before leaving for TST, we thought why not hop on a 'Ding Ding' just for the fun of it. heh.
alighted at the next stop, searched for the MTR Station and off to TST for more shopping. yays! :D
wanted to have lunch at Ipudo HK, Silvercord but there was a long queue. :( so we just had a quick and simple lunch at Food Republic.
* Taiwanese Food.
walked to Heritage 1881 to look for Paul Lafayet (which is actually located in K-11). idky why i kept thinking it's located there. aaah. no wonder it is nowhere to be found. LOL!
Heritage 1881 was previously the headquarters of the Hong Kong Marine Police from the 1880s to 1996. very unique Victorian architecture representing its rich colonial background. it's also a boutique hotel - Hullett House. i personally like the Aldridge and Silvermine Suites cause the rest of the suites are kinda OTT.
explored this 122 years old building instead of shopping cause there's nothing we can afford inside. haha.
* inside the Round House (Time Ball Tower)
if i'm not mistaken, we went to MK after that.
looking back, i felt kinda stupid for keep ordering the same drink at Gong Cha! should have tried others instead. =.='
went to New Town Mall/Arygle Centre for another round of shopping. i prefer places like these (Prangin Mall/Sg. Wang type) cause non-branded stuffs are so much more affordable. which means i can buy more! :D and honestly, i did not step in to any high-end boutiques throughout our trip apart from Cartier, Heritage 1881 to inquire about the Trinity Bracelet.
suppose to have this *points below* after our dinner but since we're already here, desserts before dinner la. :P
* Banana Crepe with powdered sugar, served with Strawberries
Lucky Dessert is one of the top places to go for desserts in HK. believe or not, they actually have a branch in Sunway Giza (found out via their name card)! and another good news it, they are opening another branch in Scott Garden. can't wait, can't wait! :D
searched for Langham Place cause our dinner place - Chee Kei is located somewhere in that 15 storey mall. decided to shop first though it was already 10 pm. crazy sia. :P
Chee Kei apparently serves the best Wantan Noodles.
* Mr. Dong's Wanton Noodles
we both agree that dinner at Chee Kei was deffos our best dinner throughout our 5 days in HK. the Wantan Noodle soup is very flavourful, the noodle is springy and every Wanton has a whole juicy shrimp. as for the Congee, it's very smooth and sweet. used all my 10 fingers for the crab. :3
don't really remember that we did after dinner but i suppose to went back to the hotel la. heh.

til then,
