Dim Sum @ Hong Kong

I'm thinking that instead of splitting my HongKong trip into days, it would be better if I just pick those interesting stuff that I did randomly. And right now while sitting in the office waiting for my stuff to pass, I'm thinking of the dim sums that I had at Fu Sing Shark fin Restaurant at Wan Chai.

Now to me this is the Crème de la Crème of all dim sums:


Yes the Har Kau! Dim sum restaurant which doesn’t sell Har Kau is like Italian restaurant which doesn’t sell pizza:


And this is Siu Mai, the brother of Har Kau:


This is the Siu Loong Pau which is also the most expensive Siu Loong Pau that I ever had:


Cheong Fun:


And also Cha Siu Pau:


Although it’s a little pricey (quite obvious from the name of the restaurant) but I'm satisfied with the food and services provided

HongKong Day 2

Yes I'm back after spending a week at Ipoh to clear my leaves. And I think I need to continue with my Hong Kong Day 2 before I keep on procrastinating and forget about it

Hong Kong day 2 started with a sunny day, in fact I was thankful that the weather was on our side the whole trip. And right after I came down from my hostel, I took this photo of the street which gave me a very HongKong-ish feeling


And we went to Ocean Park instead of Disneyland because everyone told me it’s more worth to visit than the latter and I took the advice since I'm ok with both of them. We spent most of the time taking photos when we first reached that place because all the rides weren’t thrilling enough hehe


And we saw sea lions being fed by the workers there, how interesting is that? :p


But as we went further up, the rides were getting more interesting and I successfully dragged Irene to play her first Space Shot. Both of us had a great time with the roller coaster too.


We left Ocean Park after lunch and successfully reached Causeway Bay after a few bus rides. Spent some time at the beach and also the temple there


And we headed to Central for the egg tart and also the famous roast goose. I like the skyscrapers here which are standing mightily even on difficult slopes.


And this is another HongKong-ish look of the wet market in Central


This is the famous Yung Kee roast goose which had cost me a fortune:


We rushed to Victoria’s Harbor with a full stomach after that to catch this magnificient light display. It’s called The Symphony of Light if I'm not mistaken


That ended our day 2 :D

Postcard From Germany

Before I continue with my Hong Kong Day 2 post, I wish to post this up first. I reached home 2 days ago with this in my room:



Yes it’s a postcard from Germany! It’s from someone whom I refer to as Bestie which in a way means best friend and yes she is indeed, a special friend. Of course it is not Irene and I kind of special but it is a kind of special friendship which I cherish very much :D

Thanks Bestie!

Hong Kong Day 1

Yoohoo yes I'm back from Hong Kong and it was great! In fact I already came back on Friday almost midnight, but couldn’t find time to write about it until now. I'm happy with my Hong Kong trip but Macau was just so-so. Luckily I only spent a night at Macau or it will be wasted.

Both Irene and I rushed to the ferry terminal right after we touched down at Macau so that we can reach the motel as soon as possible. The ferry ride was nauseating, so we didn’t enjoy it much and thank god we didn’t puke on each other. We took a cab when we reached Kowloon to the motel and although our room was really small but it was clean and tidy. I was comfortable staying there and the only thing I wanted to complain about is the tiny toilet. But it’s Hong Kong, so it’s reasonable and acceptable.



Everything went well according to my itinerary and the thing I like most about Hong Kong should be the down to earth street-like kind of feeling. We were staying at Mongkok and the street was really packed with people sprawling to every direction. The only thing that can interrupt or stop the flow should be the traffic light for pedestrian, or the boarding door of the MTR.

We were rushing here and there hoping that we could cover all the places that we wish to visit. But on the first night, we only went to Ladies’ Street and Temple Street since both places were close to our motel.



Wan Ton Mee was our dinner that night and although the noodle tasted normal, the Wan Ton was really good!



We went to Hui Lau San for dessert after that and understood why the place is so famous for its dessert.



After strolling the street a little while more, we went back to rest and called it a day :D

Tomorrow, Hong Kong!

I'm flying to Hong Kong tomorrow *happy*

Hong Kong

5 more days and I will be flying to Hong Kong!

Yes I'm going there for a vacation and it’s not a pre-planned one because it was only decided a few weeks back. I have been longing to go there for some time and since I have to clear my annual leaves this year and Irene’s birthday is approaching, so why not? Both of us really need a short getaway because we have been working our @$$ off until wee hours sometimes when the ‘situation’ needs it.

Ok the arrangements are made, hotels are booked, itinerary is planned and packing seems to be the only frustrating thing left to do. Now where can I get help?

Black and White

I seldom watch series but I've just finished Black and White, a Taiwanese series which in my opinion is the best Taiwanese series that I've ever watched. Ok maybe it is the best since I haven’t watched many but if most of the Taiwanese drama is thiiiiiiis good, then I think I'll watch them all!

What I like most is the plot which is so twisting and keeps on surprising me when more and more is unfold. It is also different from those usually draggy Taiwanese series because this one leaves no room for mushy stuff. Heard that they are doing the movie now and will be out next year and I'm wondering whether it will be as good.
