I ♥ Hong Kong-Part 1

Finally I managed to step on HK after much hype about me going there few months back #^_^# HK has always been on my top list for a country where I've always wanted to visit, yippee! Owell, thanks to all the HK dramas which I’ve been exposed to since young. This is actually the 2nd self-organised overseas trip with D ^^ Albeit this is our 2nd trip, this HK self-organised trip is quite hastily planned compared to our previous trip. We just managed to get the itinerary roughly drawn up 2-3 days before~ This time we strike off Macau and Disneyland~

After a reasonably quick 3.5 hours flight, the plane touched down and the journey began ^.^v Our first plan when we reached HK is to get an Octopus card each for our travels around. D & me purchased our Octopus card at the MTR station and then got the train to Mong Kok where we stayed. **P/s: Get a map for anyone visiting HK! After train journey from airport to Mongkok, a bus ride and some walking distance, we slumped on our single bed in the Dragon hostel in Mong Kok, phew!~

Breakfast@Dao Hiang Dim Sum,Nathan Rd.,Mongkok
















yummy "ha gow" (prawn dumplings) *slurppp*

















Compatible with Din Tai Fung's “xiao long bao” (small steamed bun) *yumzz*















Had a pinch for this cutey polo buns ^^

















i luv' my "har cheong fun" =)





















Can’t resist their “siu mai” too __y





















We spent the evening shopping at Fa Yuen street and Ladies street ^^ But, end up with nothing. They were many stalls appeared to repetitively the same like; same jewellery, same clothes, same shoes and same electronics. Owell, it’s a street full of vibrant, reminds me of the movie “72 Tenant” ^^





















At night, we headed to HK’s SoHo “Lan Kwai Fong” to have our dinner and sightseeing. There were several stunning (but expensive) looking restaurants and long queue restaurants to choose from. So, we just settled for a simple dinner in one of the “cha char teng”. I had a bowl of wantan mee and refreshing tung ling cha” (Ice Lemon Tea) ^_^








































D's saliva-dropping 'char kai fan' ;pppp

































We then dragged our tired arses to Avenue of stars ; the Hollywood walk of fame (only recognised Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee!) and the view across to HK Island (pics) ^^ and we managed to catch the 27 Symphony of Lights *drools*
















































































We managed to make time at the end of d night with a refreshing dessert supper in Hui Lau Shan dessert (It’s all over HK!!!) It serves hundreds of varieties of hot and cold desserts, but I luv’ their mango dessert the most =) In fact, they even have introduced a mango series! Give it a shot if you visit HK and if you are one of the mango manias {{{(>_<)}}}
