final post for my HK trip (combining Day 4 +5 together). been delaying for months. =.=' sooooooo sorry to those who are waiting for updates. such a failed blogger! :( right. chop, chop. let's start!
* ordered both House Specialty.
Day 4 is dedicated for Ocean Park! we chose it over Disneyland cause i've been there before back in 2009. didn't even blog about my HK + China trip till today. *slaps forehead* and i don't think Mr. Dong will like it considering the fact that it's more suitable for kids. the only ride i took was Space Mountain cause rest was too kiddo. =.='
Day 4
woke up at 7ish and off for to fill up our tummies before a long day.
we were kinda confused with the map i've printed out but managed to find it by asking a few locals. breakfast at Australia Dairy Co. was beyond satisfactory though they serve simple food such as eggs and breads. everything was so yummy we actually thought of going back for supper since they close at 11 pm. heh.
* ordered both House Specialty.
* Macaroni and Ham in Soup
okayyy. don't remember how we ended up here. should be by the MTR and walked for a bit. thought going to Tim Ho Wan on a Monday morning should be queue-free, since it's a working day right? but i was dead wrong! had to wait for an hour so we just pass la. :(
next destination which was the highlight of the day - Ocean Park! yaysssssss! :D
took the MTR to Admiralty then got on Bus No. 629. the queue for the bus was seriously crazy.it was at least 10 meters. not joking! but thank God the bus was pretty frequent and we didn't have to wait for too long. :)
after about 15 mins on the bus, we're here!
* spot me?
at The Giant Panda Adventure.
* Red Pandas!
at Goldfish Treasure.
* making our mark. :)
first show at Whisker's Theater - Sea Lion Fun Time.
took the cable car to The Summit (from The Waterfront). it was close to an hour's queue. =.=' imagine the torture we have to go through under the scorching sun, "kissing" our skin. :O
it was really, really hot (considering it was summer!) and we bought this combo thingy once we reached The Summit. comes with a huge ass Coke and a bunch of fries. :D
next life saver, Watermelon! sure did help to cool us down from the horrible weather.
at Sea Jelly Spectacular.
made our way to Adventure Land and managed to take only 2 rides:
1. Space Wheel (only 15 mins queue. thank God!) and
2. Raging River (an hours's queue! =.=')
reasons why we only had 2 rides throughout the entire Ocean Park:
1. too many people!
2. some people cut queue! bloody assholes!
3. no shades while queuing (some has umbrellas but since the queue was too long, still have to queue under the sun!)!
4. at least 45 mins to queue!
* Raging River.
second show of the day - Sea Dreams at Ocean Theater.
walked around the Pacific Pier Ocean and it was announced that the Cable Car Station was really packed. the other alternative was to take the Express Summit Station which i think was so much more convenient and faster than taking the cable car!
our last stop:
* the pandas were so lazy and was just sleeping and lazing around. :(
initial plan was to leave Ocean Park at 5ish for The Peak but i thought of going shopping at Causeway Bay instead.
alighted from the bus somewhere in Causeway Bay and searched for Matchbox Cafe! another cafe recommended by All About Hong Kong.
*very 70's eh?
we ordered 2 of their famous set meals:
A) Old Days Tea Set which consists of:
really like the concept of this restaurant. food here was ok. not very memorable but the dessert was absofuckinglicious. really different from typical HK desserts. the Chicken Pie in Pea Soup was a bit odd (you can tell it's a weird combi from the name) during the first few bites but after that i realized it's actually very good!
forgotten what we did or where we went after that. should be just shopping around Causeway Bay. aaah. memory is failing on me already. :/
MTR Station shot of the day:
* right eye was still swollen. :(
Day 5
woke up a lil later today since it was our last day and i thought we should relax a lil bit. :)
breakfast at Kam Wah Cafe. yet another typical HK Char Chan Teng. nothing to shout about apart from their Polo Pao which was no doubt the best in HK!
* Milk Tea once again.
* Polo Pao - abso yums! no wonder it's so famous!
* French Toast.
* Macaroni in Soup with Char Siew.
* Sausage, Ham and Egg. so oily!
wandered around 'Gold Fish Street'. managed to buy Bambie a dress and a toy from one of the many pet shops. kinda disappointed cause it was nearly 12 and most shops very not open yet!
last round of shopping in a random mall. i've forgotten which area. :X
literally went crazy in 2% since most of the items were 50% off! :D
* new collection - 2% x Miffy!
went back to the hotel and packed all our remaining hauls into the luggage before checking out and off the airport.
* final stop!
just had to buy this for the last time. heh.
* as usual, Signature Milk Green Tea.
got a lil lost in one of the MTR Stations cause we alighted a station earlier. silly us! =.=' the counter guy was kinda rude while trying to explain how to get to the airport. grrr.
arrived at HKIA just in time for our boarding. no time for airport shopping. :(
MTR Station shot of the day:
5 days and 4 nights in HK was deffos not enough albeit the jolly good time we had on shopping and eating. wish to visit there again with more moolah the next time! enough of holiday for this year. it's time to slow down on travelling and save more money for other stuffs or perhaps for travelling in 2013 (no holiday plans for 2012!).
thank you, Mr. Dong for the wonderful + memorable time in HK. sorry that you only get a lil sleep despite having to walk non-stop from morning till night. heh. :P
oh! if any of you is going to HK soon, i highly recommend this website. everything you need to know about HK from A - Z is right there. reviews and recommendations on food spots, attractions, shopping malls, accommodations, etc. you can post up your itinerary in the forum and let the Admin/other forum members help you to amend it for the better. :)
til then,
