Tooling Around Hong Kong
Posted by admin on December 1st, 2009 filed in Travel
After we checked in around 10am, we decided to have breakfast in one of the Hong Kong restaurants. We ordered the typical Hong Kong breakfast, which is nai cha and some breads and tarts. The meal was lovely. According to our waiter, Hong Kong people never really cook at home anymore, they just go down the street and go to a restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
After breakfast, we went to walk on Goldfish street and looked at the very beautiful displays of vividly colorful ocean life; fishes of every color and size, clams and jellyfish, live coral and other creatures. It was actually like diving into the deep ocean. We walked back to the ladies market, which at noon time was still not fully opened and we found the same thing with the Temple Street Market. We made a note to not shop at the ‘night’ markets in the day and to always bargain.
We made our way down Nathan Road. We were still not hungry enough for lunch, so we just grabbed a dessert at Hui Lau Shan. This was our second visit to Hui Lau Shan, our first time, everything we put in our mouth was delicious, especially the mango dessert, but this time around, we were shocked, the dessert, which we just had a few days ago, was now half the size of what we were served the first time.
After our disappointment, we decided to ride the MTR to Hong Kong Island to see the Times Square Mall, we didn’t stay long, I guess we were all shopped out from the previous days. So, finally, we headed back to our hotel and on to the ferry. It was 5pm, so we decided to have an early dinner and go up to our hotel for some much needed rest.
