Hong Kong (II)
Sunday. 10.21.12 10:31 am
Okay, I've been delaying updating and I think I should get it done while waiting for my locks to dry then head to bed.

Quick recap of the memorable things on my trip!

On my plane there, I sat beside this Spanish dude and he was chivalrous when it comes to helping me putting things on to the overhead compartment. First he put my bag up, then as we neared Hong Kong, and he was getting his own things, he offered to bring my bag down, which I gladly accept. So the plane landed and everyone was waiting to get off the plane and this aunty sitting two rows down and one seat to his left just stared at me. Man... Aunty, I can guess what you're gawking at but I'm not his wife! Even if I am, what's her problem, right?

The cab driver that took us from the airport to my hotel kinda annoyed my Hongkee friend and at the same time, his comments about Hong Kong was hilarious.

Advice 1: Come to HK to eat, not shop till you drop cause most things come from China and they're perfect imitation of the original items.

So we asked him if he is local, he said no. We asked him where he is from, "Made in China".

Had this milk pudding from Yee Shun Dairy Company as dessert and loved all that we had expect for the egg pudding.. because it has a strong eggy taste.

Day 2 - Went to Jumbo Floating Restaurant from dim sum brunch then all day in Ocean Park. If you have watched enough TVB dramas, you may know where I'm talking about! Dim Sum in HK are to die for.

Day 3 - Porridge at this hawker center in Central, Lady's Street, Tsim Sha Tsui's Arena of Stars, the Peak and then HardRock Cafe/Lan Kwai Fong for my friend's early birthday celebration!

The Peak was like super cold at night (for me)... So because we wanted to watch the Symphony of Lights, we decided to stay up there till it comes on at 8PM. We reached the peak at about 4-ish PM so there were a lot of time after touring the rather small Madam Tussaud's. At one point, just to make sure I don't turn into an ice-carving up there because I was only wearing a rather thin polo and jeans with my cardigan safely tucked into my luggage in the hotel (I did not expect to stay that long), me and another friend stood on the bench to take a picture. A while after that, this Chinese family walked buy (there are A LOT of Chinese family, like from Mainland China, Chinese family) and this kid which was about 6, who must have saw us, told his dad -

Kid: I wanna stand on the bench to take a picture!
Dad: Ni yao pai shi me? Shi Bei Feng? Ni yao pai Shi Bei Feng kan ma? (Think it'll only be funny to those who understands Chinese... in a not so funny way, the dad asked the kid "What do you want to take? The wind? Why do you want to take a picture of the wind?")

Then whilst the quite disappointing because we couldn't hear the harmonies of the Symphony of Lights, I was standing beside the crew who provides photo services for those who want a good quality picture of them with the view. One of the crew reached down to check the temperature with his phone and went "25 celcius)?? This cold and it's only 25?!" to which I retorted in my head "haven't you heard of wind chill?"

The dude who was in charge of the Hard Rock gift shop thought my friends and I were about 18... Sweet~

Day 4 - Macau / Shopping in Causeway Bay (which is near my hotel). Slight mishap while going to Macau for those staying in the same room with me because we were all quite sleep deprived, we forgot to bring out passport out and only realised it when we got to the ferry terminal to Macau.

Though, it was very, very hazy so pictures of the landscapes were just disappointing.

The Portuguese egg tarts were awesome!! And this is coming from the person who usually shy away from egg tarts because I have some sort of a phobia thanks to my mother. We kept it for about 3 days before finally finishing it and it was still fresh!

Forever 21 store closes at 1AM! Like wooootttt! Not that I shop a lot there, just amazed at how late it closes!

Day 5 - Citigate for tonnes of shopping at the outlet stores, H&M, then a steamboat place for dinner.

Basically, when I was there, it was super easy to lose track of time. Not sure why but we will always end up eating breakfast at about noon to 1PM then have dinner at like 9-10PM and because where we were staying the shops usually stay open till midnight/ 1AM, by the time I go to bed, it's about 2/2.30AM and then I'd wake up around 8-9AM depending on where we are heading to the next day.

Milk tea and their mango based desserts are a must to have there but different stores have their own recipe so it would taste different and you would need to figure out which is the one you like. I don't like mango stuff here in Malaysia because most of the time they use syrup and tastes bad. Over there, you taste real mango..

I shall leave you with my Hong Kong - Macau 2012 album
