爱。香港 13 - 17 Jul 2011

445am reached airport, 615am flight to HK! Good morning HK!

Ah! No makeup..... i've got 4 hours for me to makeup on board! haha...

After 4 hours of uncomfortable 阵阵飞机, we finally reach HK safely... Pix taken when queuing at immigration... lucky the clearance was fast! I remb last time it took me an hour to clear... hmm... heng ah...

Collect our luggages and lets go! Shuxia got the biggest luggage but bought the least things ha!

Heart HK!

My first time on airport bus to city.... very convenient, fast and cheap!

Reach our hotel easily, short walk from metropark mongkok drop off point. Oriental Lander Hotel is located at Prince Edward. We chose this hotel is becos they have triple room at a reasonable rate as Hong Kong hotels were usually expensive...some nice boutique hotels were to small to accomodate 3pax...

Our triple room is small and narrow but very clean.. all necesseties were available like Water Boiler, Hair Dryer...but there's no mini fridge!

View from our small window...

Now... lets go for our lunch! Sooooo hungry! 5 mins walk to the MTR.

Found our way to Yi Dian Xin, a 1 star michelin award dim sum restaurant situated at Prince Edward which is around our hotel compound..we simply use the MTR another exit to get there.

Long queue lo...we waited quite a while man... make sure its good!

The restaurant is super small! No wonder waited so long la.. haha

Got a corner seat and shared with one very fierce aunty... hahah...

The 马来糕 & 马蹄糕 is super good!!! Droooool....

Look at Meiping's glowing face.. cos we are heading Chocoolate! Her fave shop at TST!

Umbrella Vending Machine at stations... very convenient wor and so many colors to choose from!


Curry Yu Dan! Yum Yum...

Here is the shop at Granville Road....

Wah such a big bag!

New Mall "The One" at TST...

Aiyo there's Chocoolate here too!!

The shops there are above mid range labels mostly under I.T, Harvey Nicholas has got their beauty section there too...

Spring Summer Fashion Week! Haha..

The exterior of Chocoolate!! So cool! Nice!

Yeah... how can we miss Mr Softee!

Walk to Harbour City, Ocean Terminal

The huge Muji there has got a mini exhibition.. cute!

Decided to head back hotel and put down stuffs... after dinner will continue to Fa Yuen Street which is at Prince Edward too... Dinner at GuangDong Cafe near MTR exit which Meiping highly recommend.. Friendly Uncle teach us how to eat the DongGua Zhong soup!

The rice 是多的咯！

This background is a must take at every station lo! Its so iconic! So HK!
Too bad we were too late to reach Fa Yuen Street..they closes at 930pm... so we decided to go Mongkok, Argyle Centre!

Only bought 2 items from Argyle Centre this round.. mayb by the time they are closing too.. we will definately be back for 最后冲刺！Dessert at Xu Liu Shan to rest our legs...

Taken at Hotel Lobby... Do i look like Jay Chou's album cover?!

Tea cups changed!

This is so satisfying! Yummy!!! Oh.. i missed the bun and fish!
After breakfast is H&M time! Wah.. breakfast at Tsui Wah followed by H&M is a 绝配 itinerary!

After much shopping at H&M, we head to Tai Cheong Bakery to grab the famous HK no.1 egg tarts, its just behind H&M, walk up from Tsui Wah... seems simple n easy if its a sunny day.. it was raining very heavily while we were there!

We regretted that we only bought one egg tart each... it was really good which i didnt tried such good one in my life!

Again we walk in the rain with our umbrella war, finally got to the Starbucks is long going!!!! We were soaked! :S
