The third day of our HK trip was mainly for sightseeing and shopping!
To be honest, shopping at HK was nothing cheaper than in Singapore though. =/
We started off our journey with a scrumptious Dim Sum breakfast! Yea you know, it’s HK ma! Totally like those typical HK serial with all the “senior citizens”…haha! But no Dim Sum trolley. =( Nonetheless, the food was good~!
Met up with dear WX, her sister and friends for lunch at a mexican restaurant. With that, we also had a chance to do a bit of exploring around the SOHO area. But it was a super RAINY day… Very sad!
The harbour view at our hotel looked great!
This was Mr poser’s 10001th try
We went MTR-ing and exploring some famous areas in HK such as Causeway bay, Wan Chai, Kowloon, Central, Tsim Sha Tsui…etc.
It was pouring cats and dogs the whole day….But it didn’t stop us from sightseeing!
Then at night…Went to Avenue of Stars to watch the Symphony of Lights. NICE!
Had to cab back to our hotel because we were both so tired and the weather was freezingly cold…
After recuperating from a 30-mins rest…Off we go to the
MODERN TOILET RESTAURANT
which was right opposite our hotel!
It took me a while to overcome the mental struggle with the thought of sitting on toilet bowls and sipping my kiwi fruit juice from an urinal (P.S. you can also hear toilet flushing sound randomly). But I tell you…the food was awesome. I guess it must be the weather…that’s why my hotpot was double tasteful and satsifying! Not very expensive. Average price around $20/pax (depends on what you eat lor!)
Then continue to walk around Mong Kok (ladies market, flower market, etc) and finally ended our day. I realised that the shops were all opened even until midnight (don’t know if it’s cause of CNY or what), totally heart the atmosphere even though it was a sunday night!

Time flies! Our last day in HK! =(((((((((((((
Breakfast at Cafe de Coral again! and then when walking around the Mong Kok area before we bid HK goodbye!
Mr GVM took this photo as a remembrance before we left the hotel.
Off to the airport to have our lunch at Popeye’s and final shopping at the Disneyland store…
How cool!! Winnie the pooh marshmallow lollipops! They are still in my fridge! Too cute to be eaten…haha.
On our way back…Mr GVM had the window seat…SEE that face of his! BOO!
AND WE PROMISE TO BE BACK SOMEDAY…HK SEE YOU AGAIN! =)
I know this is totally delayed. But I gotta cleared my back logs and busy preparing for Chinese New Year after I returned from Hong Kong. I jus wanna say…I LOVE HONG KONG and I SO WANNA GO BACK AGAIN! (minus the terrible experience at Hong Kong International Airport). =P
5 Feb 2010, 5.45am – Woke up and off to the airport!
Been years since I last took the plane…Had lousy fun choy and toasts before taking off…
Our Hong Kong trip started off with a very very very memorable experience at the custom clearance at Hong Kong International Airport! Mr GVM’s photo ID didn’t tally with his look so apparently, the officers were so afraid that he is one of those “people”…They decided to retain him at the airport for more than 3 hours asking plain stupid questions! LIKE:
“So…Are you ready to tell me your true identity?”
”How long have you two been together?”
”Where was the last trip you two went together?”
To me: “Do you know why your boyfriend changed so much?”
Heck they are really really stupid. If we want to really do something bad, we wouldn’t use a photo that totally doesn’t tally right?! WHERE’S THE COMMON SENSE, HELLO? Wasted so much of my time! Glad the trip was still fruitful and fun!
Finally being able to step out of the custom clearance…and off to our hotel – Langham Place!
Didn’t take the airport express to our hotel…but sightseeing on the bus was enjoyable. =)
Finally!
View from our room!
Kickstarted our shopping trip at Langham Place shopping mall…First dinner in HK was McDonald’s! HAHA Weird…But realised the Hongkies don’t take curry sauce? They have honey mustard though…and Wasabi Fillet Burger!
And then all the walkings at Mong Kok

First breakfast in HK – Cafe de Coral…It’s GOOD! Although it’s just a normal cha can ting…The instant noodles and macaroni were AWESOME LEH! Think alot of MSG…
Then off to The Peak!
The Peak Tram is here!
First station at the Peak…MDM TUSSAUDS WAX MUSEUM!
Then to sightseeing and taking more pictures at the peak! But because it was too foggy…we didn’t manage to see any any awesome peak view. =(
Had alfresco lunch…It was freezing! Grrrr…
Then set off to DISNEYLAND!!!
Ever since the horrendous rollercoaster ride I had at KL Berjaya Times Square, I sorta promised myself that I wouldn’t do any silly things especially when I’m overseas…Honestly, who will thought that the rides at Disneyland will be dangerous right. How can kids play such thing…So with these thoughts, I tried out this ride named “Space Mountain”…First I didn’t see any safety belt to indicate it is a dangerous ride… So when we enter the “space mountain”…the view was awesome…It was like an omni theatre surrounded with planets, stars, comets, etc…
And then the worst was here…
Little did I expect this ride is yet another ROLLERCOASTER…Holycrap…
I was totally in the picture..but was scared to shit that I bended my bodies so low to ensure my safety…CRAP.
I felt nauseous when it could be a more romantic fireworks show at the sleeping beauty castle… =(
Felt better after the show…so we proceeded to the Corner’s Cafe for dinner…LOVE THE MICKEY MOUSE WAFFLES! =D
In a nutshell, I do enjoy Disneyland Hong Kong! It’s magical and would love to go again!! =)
