-Princess Shopandeat in HK-Day 1
Welcome to Hong Kong! My first aerial glimpse at 10.30am
Deciding on the game plan.
An absolutely filthy place we had dinner at, along Temple St. Good food, but I still get the shudders when I think about it.Day 2
Bleary-eyed. 8.15am and waiting for the ferry to go to Macau.
Wandering the streets of Macau.
Stuffing our faces with the absolutely delicious Portugese egg tarts. The ones in Sg don't even come close.
I just like posing for stupid photos. Can?
Mum & I at the ruins of St Paul.
Mum's favourite peanut candy. She was so excited to see the guy making it!
The street decorated for the Mid-Autumn Festival. How cute!!
Shao Lin Warriors
One of the cute Venetian guys they hire to row those gondolas at The Venetian! Very authentic!
Those chicken wings at Mongkok were da bomb.Day 3
The nearest MTR station to my hotel. Nice and convenient!
I like this cha chan ting! We had great pork chop buns, dumplings and noodles here. And the design is cool! Retro and funky.
At the foot of my favourite building. It looks really sleek.
Chloe & I at the top of Victoria Peak. Pretty good view, except that it was smoggy.
Our feet hurt like mad but we couldn't find a reflexology place. So we soaked our feet in the bathtub. Hot bubbly water.Day 4
The mid-morning snack - dessert at Yee Shun Milk Company. Great stuff. Really yummy.
Mum at Hua Yuan Jie. Pretty flowers, but prettier shopping! And damn cheap!
The wrinkliest pup I have ever seen. And just look at that tongue.
Mum busy making her selections... and she claims she didn't shop that much.
Happenin' HK street.
Eric and I at Luk Yu Tea House where we ate him out of HK$700. Hmm not bad.
Angie and I on the windowsill in Eric's bedroom. He's got a great view of the water from his place. Gosh!
Melon and mint bong for Irene.
One of the nicest shots out of the trillions we've taken together, I think. Can you sense the euphoria??
Can we say "tispy"?
A post-drinks&shisha supper of chicken wings. What a perfect ending to a great evening.Day 5
We woke up earlyish to catch some really awesome dimsum. This place gives you a 50% discount if you foot the bill before noon. See what's going on behind me - they're attempting to choose from the vast array of gorgeous sounding dimsum. Serious business.
All this and MORE cost only HD$150!
Stanley Market. Nice coastal area, but very touristy.
A puffy kitty. Angie, this is for you!
A bus ride from opposite our hotel all the way to Stanley Market. It cost only HK$15 each, but we were treated to some really gorgeous scenery along the way.
Shit, it's beautiful!! No wonder everyone wants a house on the coast.-------------------------------------------So yes. HK was marvellous. The food, the shopping, the people, the vibe. We'll see you there again next year, Eric. Make sure the apartment's cleaned up for our arrival. Now, when's my next vacation?
