Summer Hong Kong 2015 (LootS & Foods)

These were some of the food we had sampled during this trip. It was a good experience trying different types of cuisine. However, after trying wanton mee for a few days and way too much dim sum (ahem, those who went with us would know what I mean ^_^) ,  I would say I still prefer the diversity of Singaporean food anytime!

Shopping wise, unlike Taiwan and Bangkok, I did not manage to buy many things in Hong Kong mainly because their clothes are 'not my style'. 

Summer Hong Kong 2015 (Day 5 & 6)

We began the day by taking the MTR to Sheung Wan as we planned to board the Electric Tram from this station.

 

As it was a Sunday, the tram was slowly filled with Filipinos maid. Luckily we boarded the tram at Sheung Wan hence we managed to grab our choice seats! ^_^

 

We then alighted at Wanchai and walked along Henessey Road. Had Roasted Goose and Suckling Pig for lunch and walked around the area before taking the Star Ferry backed to Kowloon.

 

 

 

 

We left the kids with Dad in the Hotel before heading out again for some last minutes shopping at Sham Shui Po and Mongkok area.

We woke up at 3.30a.m next morning to take the airport bus N21 to airport.

No more Scoot airlines to Hong Kong for me that's for sure!-_-""

Summer HOng Kong 2015 (Day 4)

We took the Crystal Cable Car to Ngong Ping Village to see the World Biggest Outdoor Bronze Buddha. It was quite an experience, sitting inside a glass-bottomed cabin several hundreds feet above the ground. The queue to the crystal cabin was shorter than the standard cabin, and we managed to board on one after a fairly short queue.

This was the first time, my father, who has acrophobia, ever took a cable car. At first, MW and I were afraid that he would refuse to take on the ride, but surprising, he was very steady and said "OK, no problem!" ^_^

The three beauties...hehehe

 Zhi Yu and Din Yang had a great time posing for the camera inside the crystal cabin!

 

After a 20 minutes ride, we finally reached the top.

 

Soft and silky beancurd but not much bean taste..

 

We climbed up the 200 plus steps to the top of the stairs while my dad and MIL stayed at the bottom.

Upon reaching the top, cool breeze and spectacular view awaited us.

 

 

We had our lunch at the vegetarian canteen at the Po Lin Monastery. We were lucky as there was a sudden downpour after we completed our praying. Can't imagine what would have happened if it rained while we were climbing the stairs! Amitabha!
