I have been to Hong Kong a couple of times for work but never really a holiday. This time, bought the tickets scheduled for end April. Weather was pretty erratic, the rain clouds were here and gone the next instant. By the time you got your umbrella out of the bag, the rain has stopped. So, I didn't bother about the umbrella. But of course, I didn't have one in the first place. Apart from the rain, it was mostly cloudy.a
Hong Kong has very good public transport. For this trip, I basically rode on everything ie the MTR, the bus and the tram (minus the cab). Apart from that, there were lots of walking too. That would be the best way to see Hong Kong. I tried to capture the beautiful colours of Hong Kong. And I couldn't resist the yummy food as well.
Sapporo Ramen at North Point. Simple and comfortable restaurant. Food was not too bad. Pricing was reasonable.
Breakfast at
Empire Ocean. I absolutely love it and went there for two days! They have outlets at other areas such as Mongkok, Causeway Bay, etc...
The egg tarts were from
Honolulu Coffee Shop. The best I have ever tasted! The sweetness was just perfect for me, not too milky as well and the pastry was soft... We managed to buy them right out from the oven. Ummm.... the warm tarts... so fine....
We travelled all the way to Sheung Wan for this dim sum at
Lin Heung Kui. The review was good and Hong Kong is famous for its dim sum after all. It must be good as the place was packed and we had to share a table with other patrons. Overall, ok...
Hong Kong is also famous for its Japanese food, apparently very authentic. Gave it a try at
Chikayaki. Thumbs and thumbs up! Just be prepared for the bill. Oh, do remember to make reservation too.
That's the food story. Coming up the walking experience. I spotted some interesting art work and things, at least I thought they were.
Trying to make things more fun, I guess... This was at Stanley.
This was at the MTR station again. I was impressed that there were quite a number of children art work that has been featured in public places.
This were the recycle bins that I saw at a shopping mall. Something interesting from our usual bin.
The ad was at the MTR station. If you know how to read, it sounded really cute. Otherwise, it's to ask people to hold tight to the hand rail. Look at the little extra hands!
A peep into the restaurant. I really love the blue!
You could be in Mexico! Again, the colours were vibrant, I can't help but to take a pix of it!
I REALLY love this piece of art! Found this at Central. It just gave me the cheerful, happy feeling...
I find that you really see different things when you walk around instead of being on a tour bus. :)
