Yawn… its at earthly 3.30am in the morning when we had to crawl out of bed. After a very uncomfortable 4 hours plus flight, we finally made it to Hong Kong! Mom and Dad picked us up and I was so happy to see their smiling faces again after so long! We were so hungry by then we decided to eat 大家乐, a popular cafeteria style restaurant chain in Hong Kong.
Sis place is located at a Whampoa Gardens in Hung Hum, which is a nice up-market residential area located very near to all the central areas. But we were so tired that we had to take a little nap before going out to explore the area. There’s a bus interchange just below the block, so we took a 小巴 (public light bus) to the nearby Temple Market 庙街 for dinner.
Me & Mummy dearest
I like this shot - very Hong Kong
I super love this - fried pig's big intestine
Well the shops weren’t fabulous, but we just strolled around, find a nice food stall for dinner and continued to browse leisurely.
Outside a mahjong game place - those are the house rules!
女人街 was actually at the opposite street, but by then I was quite tired, so we decided to go back home. On the way home, we passed by a famous dessert shop, 芝麻綠豆甜品屋.
They are famous for their 楊枝甘露, which is like some mango dessert, but I fell in love with their green bean dessert!! It’s basically green bean (like those in dao suan), in coconut milk and ice shavings. So simple yet so YUM!!!!!! A life saver on a hot and humid night!
Cobby's 楊枝甘露
My favourite new dessert~
After that we got home and played with my sis’s new baby – KK! Isn’t he super cute!!!
Sep 22 Day 2
The next day we got up early and took a train to Sunny Bay station and switch to Disneyland Resort station.
The Disney Train
Welcome to Disneyland!
The Disney train is adorable! We didn’t buy ANYTHING from Disneyland except for a pair of gorgeous cap, which I forced Cobby to buy, but he loved it and thanked me for making him buy it later, because IT WAS BLOODY, FREAKING, UNBEARINGLY HOT! 救命啊!
How hot? Imagine being a chicken, being thrown into a preheated oven. Yah, that would be the best description. So we spent most of the day going on rides and shows that is indoors and air-conditioned. Ahhhh~ heaven!
The Princess carousel - sheltered
The Hunny Pot ride - indoors
The Lion King Show - indoors
The Golden Mickey Show - indoors
Unfortunately EVERYBODY had the same idea, so before we can enjoy our little slice of heaven, we had to queue together with hundreds of China tourists. Faint~! Haha…
I only managed to find 2 princesses, but you have to queue under the hot sun to take a picture with them. I looked so fat and sweaty in the photos already, so I'm not interested in standing next to the perfect little princesses and make me look worse! So I just took some shots of them with other families. (Sorry for the crappy editing)
But I can't leave without taking a picture of Donald! So we queue up and got our pic. Cute!
OK lah, overall, it was a very fun day. It was Cobby’s first Disneyland experience and my second one since Tokyo Disneyland, and we really did enjoyed ourselves. The only disappointment was how SMALL the Cinderalla castle was!!!
It’s so ridiculus, that’s like the most significant building and yet it’s so small… Hiaz… Anyway, to end the day we met up with sis for dinner and went back to芝麻綠豆甜品屋 for desserts again! Haha addicted… Tired but fun day!
