I♥HONGKONG,(but not the people)

I just came back from HongKong, It's not really what I imagine, or maybe we went there just a few days, there wasn't really much time for us to explore.


 










We booked the hotel near the airport, and close to Bf's sister, Yvonne friend Gilselle which is Novotel Citygate Hotel. Just a 5 mins walk away from Gilselle's place.




Our flight is 2pm, and we reach HongKong about 4 hours later, which is 6pm plus. And our first meat we had, Korea BBQ! I know it's weird that we went HongKong, and we had Korea food. BUT, It's really really cheap and nice! We ate, four sets of beef,  pork belly, four bowl of spicy beef soup, and lots of Korea appetizer. Guess how much was it? It cost about 100 plus SGD. For me personally, I don't eat beef cause i really can't stand the smell of it. but this BBQ beef totally don't taste like beef, and I really like it! :>


We check in our hotel, and went to get some cup-noodles, chips and beer back to our hotel. We start playing cards game. It's a very funny game, especially when it comes to, "no talking is allow" and you've to stay alert throughout the game! And Gilselle suggested that, the punishment other then drink, they have to finish the ice too. And it's very funny when you see them eating the ice.

Day 2 



Our hotel view!











@Jon's place










 

We went over to Jade's Garden, to have some HongKong Dim Sum. What I was imagining was those like 茶餐廳? But it's not, Jon bring us to a 4 star Dim Sum restaurant, where those rich HongKong fellas go there for Yum-Cha. 


   
these egg tarts are awesome! 

 
 
 



  



 

  

These carrot cakes are nice too!!

After breakfast, we went to Harbour City for shopping. 



(Yvonne, Me Gilselle) ♥

We went to the H&M there, the items there are really cheap! so we spend quite sometime there. After that we went to Mongkok, the so called "Bugis Street" there. There's lots of stuff, like shoes, clothes, bags, hp casing, and everything you can think of at Bugis Street. And some of the items are cheaper then Singapore. 



(^.^) So cute!

Anyway, after that we are little hungry we went to a Wanton Noodle shop at the road side. I just realise how much cleaner Singapore was. Though I feel really uncomfortable with the environment, but the noodles are really damn good, especially the soup! &there was a uncle there, who is really friendly. He approach us, suggest to take a picture for us! Haha, he made us feel like some pop star, somehow.

 After that, we went to the "Manning" there which Singapore called it "Guardians" 


after that we went to meet Jon, at Ching Yi for dinner. 
We took a mini bus to the place that sell, awesome goose meat. 




( insert picture of the 200 SGD shark fin)

The dishes was really nice, but it's really shocking when the bill come. Our reaction was "OMG WE JUST ATE A WHOLE POT OF SHARK FIN?" It's a miscommunication, or a misunderstanding, or a mis whatever you call. We thought that we ordered a pot of "shark fin alike" soup, and while we're drinking we're actually figuring out what is it. Who knows, that pot of thing, was Real real real shark fin! And Jon was saying, he's not gonna shit for the next three days! Hahaha, but it's really shocking!

Day 3


The next morning we had MacDonald and for sausage muffin lover, you definetly love HongKong's Mac. Cause they have Sausage muffin during lunch time, and dinner time! &For myself, I had Mac spicy, it wasn't spicy at all. Love it, totally! 

After that we  went to Ocean Park. It's like our Singapore USS, but it's wayyyy bigger then that! The whole place was nice, and the rides are terrifying, even the cable car up to the hill was mad scary! My life just depend on one metal thing, and I'm like hanging above the sea and trees! 



 



 








When he took this, i told him "Why your face so happy? Hawker carried very heavy stuff and their face always very tired one ley"

& he slightly show abit tired face! HAHAHAH





 

Queuing for the cable car >~<


LOOK! how scary was it!

 

 



After the crazy rides...












After that we went to Mongkok again for dinner, 




This plate of tasty veg, cost about 2 SGD!


Beef tendon

 

Salted Fish Claypot rice!

We went over to 女人街. The feeling is really awesome when you can bargain the prices till as low as you thought. Example, Yvonne and Gilselle bought two cover flats for 20 plus SGD? For two! Can you imagine how cheap isit? And it's funny to see how those people pull you back if walk away.


Day 4 (Last Day)

 






 






Last terrifying thing we did in hongkong was, WE NEARLY, NEARLY missed our flight. We seriously don't know that the gate was so far away, and we actually need a train to our gate and a walking distance! We run all the way, from the express train to our gate! Just abit more we'll miss it! *phew*

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Welcome home! :) 
Enjoyed this trip! Thanks Baby, Yvonne, Gilselle &Jon make it possible! :)



OHYA, I love hongkong, but i really hate the people there.
They are so rude that they won't even say "excuse me". And worst of all, if you stand behind them and you need them to walk side for you to cross, you said "Excuse me". They will just look at you, and turn back. TOTALLY BEING IGNORE?! And they'll just bang you, if they need to cross. And i super hate it when we take the escalator, for hongkong you need to stand at the right side instead of the left (in singapore). There was once, we was like rushing time, and two HongKong or China people standing side by side, and we said Excuse me, they just look at us and shift a little bit, like 2 cm i think! It's horrible!

But overall, Hongkong is awesome! (not the people, yes i have to highlight!)
