HK day 2 @ 11:11 PM
Hong Kong 2009 Trip
day 2 - 21.03.09

went out at about 10+am due to the lazy gabby who kept shouting for "5 mins more" and yup, it's countless of 5 mins given to him which is the usual thing. shopped around Tsim Sha Tsui then finally down to 糖朝 (sweet dynasty) which is situated at 100 Canton Road for our late breakfast. gabby's colleague had earlier recommended him the place and coincidentally, i saw this recommendation online thus we decided we both must try out this place.




temple street just behind our hotel


old school kind of scalfolding...


a real big adidas shop (total about 3 levels if i didn't rem wrongly) @ TST


LV shop is real big as well! (about 3 levels inside also!) @ harbour city


their letter box

prices were quite the singapore prices, but since we were there, we couldn't care less. the most recommended will be their 大花, which is a big tub of tao huay for 3 to 5 person. gabby's colleague told him that 2 person will be able to finish as it's real nice. thus, we decided to try it and it's 2 thumbs up! the beancurd just practically melts in your mouth and it's real smooth! the end? of coz we couldn't finish it as we had too much before that (as usual again)...






the table setting






"sai pang xie" & prawn chee cheong fun


wanton soup noodles


very delicious siew mai with something which i forgot


har gow


red bean & green bean with jelly in coconut milk


the correct steps in eating the beancurd


the main attraction there!


super smooth can!


it just melts in your mouth!




after the late breakfast, we walked over to harbour city & a shopping mall beside just for a while.


familiar sight?


another familiar one...


they have a big din tai fung there as well!

then we decided we shall head down to 铜锣湾(causeway bay) after that. walked around causeway bay times square, then rested at opposite mac then to sogo.

after sogo, it's down to 中环 - Central to take a look at the landmarks & buildings there.

HK legislative council building


always shown in TVB serials...




i love this tram


another view of the HSBC building


bank of china - i love the building lights at night!

walked down to take the peak tram to The Peak after that. visited Madame Tussauds museum over there. this is my 4th trip to HK, but 1st time to The Peak, and yet I'm suay enough to get a foggy view there! arrgh... nvm, i shall visit it again next time. hurhur...



the place to take the peak tram is just opposite


super packed with ppl

another mall at The Peak


left there about 8+pm then once we got back to Central, we cabbed down to Lan Kwai Fong which is nearby also. best thing is that the meter just stayed put at HKD18 throughout the journey can! hurhur... went to have our dinner at one of the cha chan teng near lan kwai fong before we visited one of the pub there for a soccer match & to relax.


lan kwai fong


gabby's fav, borsch soup


mine - pork chop & corn with spag (very big serving!)


gabby's mixed grill (even bigger serving!)




the pub we visited - yamane sallon (think it's related to evisu)


missed the happy hr by just 5 mins!







going back to hotel after the long long day


the convenient har gow from 7-11


always love this!

the sweet honey lemon is nice!

that's all for the 2nd day... guess where we went on the 3rd day? coming up soon!
