The 买东西 吃东西 trip~
Back to hk again after nearly 2 years.. Glad that I took this break away from work and singapore and had a good rest at my fav place. Just a short summary of the trip :)
Chose Goodrich Hotel mainly bcos of its good location and relatively cheaper price. On top of that, it offers free wifi! Haha..
But it was quite stunning when we first stepped into the room. It was so small that there is almost no walking space.. Small is expected but not THAT small. See the bottom pic. That's all the walking space we have.. Behind where i'm taking the photo from, its the door. And beside the door, its the toilet. That's it already! Even the tv has to be hung up on the wall -.-
But other than the ultimate small room, there's nothing to hiam about the hotel. The toilet is very clean.. The location is so good.. Temple street is just one street away.. Nice dim sum available just few steps away from our hotel.. And xiu liu shan is just across the road! Lol. The whole area damn happening right up to 12 midnight+! Yeap.. I guess it will still be my choice if i go back to hk.. Just make do with the small space available.. hahaa
Day 1
After leaving our stuff at the hotel, we went Repulse Bay first since its the most out-of-the-way attraction they wanted to go to. Went for the laser light show at Avenue of Stars after that.. But the fog was so thick that the top of the buildings cannot be seen! Zzz.. And the place was so crowded bcos it was a sat night.. So we decided to visit the place again another day. Dinner at Honolulu at Wan Chai which sells nice egg tarts. And of cos, xu liu shan as dessert after that!Day 2
Dim sum at 糖朝 in the morning.. Then we went to 黄大仙.. Spent afternoon at Shatin New Town Plaza and Snoopy World.
Had honeymoon dessert (don't know how many desserts must we have in 1 day =p) and discovered this very nice durian pancake in the top 2 pics. Does honeymoon dessert in sg have this? Lol. Personally im not a fan of honeymoon dessert.. I think only the durian pancake is nice. Haha..The xu liu shan (bottom 2 pics) is our dessert before bed.. Haha!

Day 3
Nice 猪仔包 for breakfast at '三洋餐厅' which is just across the road from our hotel. Then its Disneyland day~How come i don't rem hk disneyland to be that small when i went in 2006? now i find it so small that we can walk a few rounds in a day.. Haha!
This time round, we caught all the shows and parade! Other than 1 which is closed for maintenance.. My fav is still the 4D mickey show.. And we caught it twice =D They should seriously consider making a new 4D show alr.. i rem it's the same one i caught in 2006. Lol.. But its still nice!The castle looks abit different though.. Think they did some touch up to it for the 5 year anniversary celebration. How nice if life is always like fairytale~ I wanna go to all the other disneylands in other countries!
Had dim sum at this restaurant which is just few steps away from our hotel as its late after the fireworks. We discovered this the prev night when we went for some late night shopping.. Didn't expect the cheap dim sum to be up to standard too!-
Bcos they were tired.. I went to da bao xiu liu shan back to hotel to drink. Haha! Must eat/drink everyday!

Day 4
Porridge for breakfast at a small shop near our hotel (there is really alot of food in the vicinity of the hotel!). I think porridge anywhere in hk tastes nicer than any in sg seriously.. Sg's porridge is like rice+water, but hk's one is not!-
Went to take the cable car to Lantau Island for the Big Buddha.. bcos my mum and aunt decided to conquer the 250 steps.. And poor me has to conquer it for a 2nd time.. hahah. I think its misty over there the whole year round.. This time the fog didn't clear at all, I could only take pics of the outline of the buddha..
Back to Avenue of Stars for picture taking after leaving Lantau Island. Decided to have dinner at the same dim sum place near our hotel again since there's still some items we wanted to try and have not much time left in hk!My last xu liu shan on day 4.. (wanted to have it again on the last day at the airport branch but sadly we have no time..) which is my fav items! The biscuit with ice cream and mango is a new creation. Tastes as heavenly~ Haha!

Day 5
Went for dim sum at 糖朝 in the morning (just realised we really ate alot of dim sum..) before checking out of the hotel. Then did some last min shopping at Langham Place before leaving for the airport.-
Our last meal in hk was at 王家沙 at Kowloon~ Yummy xiao long bao, teresa! =p
