The flight there has been quite disastrous. She was crying and screaming so hard in the beginning that she threw up on the seat. Thank god the stewardess was very kind and cleaned up pretty well so the plane did not stink. Thankfully, after the merlion moment she grew tired and slept the rest of the way to HK. But her pretty outfit was ruined, so she greeted her grandpa at the airport in only a t-shirt and her diapers. -_-
Sis place was great! OK it was typically small, but the view was spectacular. From any window in the home, you can see the famous Hong Kong harbor view. I could just stare at it all day long and never get sick of it. So this is how the rich lives!
Jolie posing in her PJs and her beloved Teddy.
At the wet market downstairs. We go there every other day to buy fresh ingredients for Jolie's porridge.
At the Kowloon Park just downstairs. Jolie joining people doing their morning exercise.
Enjoying ridiculously delicious egg tarts in the park.
There's even an aviary in the park!
Grandpa's precious.
After her nap we went to Yuen Long (元朗) to meet Auntie Ting Ting, a family friend.
Auntie Ting Ting totally smitten by Jolie's charm. :)
We then headed to my utmost favorite eatery. We always make an effort to visit there when ever we're in HK. This is my favorite, beef innards hor fun. :P~
Vegetarians look away! This is the super sinful, but oh so delicious, fried pork large intestine. This alone was worth the trip!
When I'm in HK, I ALWAYS order their ice lemon tea, or 冻柠茶. Seemingly such a simple drink served everywhere in HK, but I just can't find the same taste in Singapore!
Shortly after the meal, I left Jolie in my parents care and travelled to Time Square to meet my sis and friends for dinner. It was fun hanging out with other adults for a change.
After dinner we headed to Whampoa (黄埔) for our favorite dessert store.
My order was like tao suan with coconut milk and ice shaving. YUMZ
Their Mua Chee is super good too. A must try!
A sweet ending to a long day!
No plans today, so while Jolie naps, Dad brought me to an eatery he found, called 锅贴大王. My my, their pan fried dumpling were really good! The meat was very juicy, and the skin, crispy at the bottom, chewy on the top. A perfect 锅贴!
Interesting, in HK, instead of sugar syrup, they put sugar onto the hot Tao Huey. It immediately melts into a delicious sugar syrup! Smart!
Walked around the area. Found a kitty napping on a pile of woks. CUTE!
A store selling coconuts for wedding use. Interesting!
Jolie loves my sister's bedroom slippers.
Going to the park for MacDonald's breakfast!
Later in the day we went to Wong Dai Sin Temple. (王大仙）A must to ask for blessings!
I always buy a lucky windmill for Jolie.
I can't remember what's the name of this hawker centre, but they serve the most delicious pork chop noodles! They were so generous of their crispy, tender pork chops! Look at the huge bowl of meat!
After the yummy noodles we hung around the area. Jolie played with her new ball there.
Having Tau Huey. Super smooth, fresh and sweet! Jolie can't get enough of it!
Dad made some Singapore style fried carrot cake while we're there. Haha, very patriotic.
Decided to go shopping by myself! Went to Mong Kok to jalan jalan. Nothing much there, should have gone to Garden street. But it was fun and I bought 2 cute T-shirts.
Ice Cuppa from Starbucks and stinky tofu from the street store! East meets west tea break!
Only went I got home that night did I realised that my ankle had swelled up like a balloon! Totally freaked out because it didn't hurt. Was it a sprain? NO idea. Put my foot up and refrained from moving too much for the rest of the night because we're going Disneyland tomorrow!
Tune in for more...
