Hong Kong Day 1 !
Seeing that jos is so hardworking to blog about the hk trip,
I should blog too! lol!
I had fun this time round! ^-^
Visited the places that I didn't get to during the previous trip!
Like ocean park, get to taste 許留山 again, etc.
Nini, jeff & I went to the airport together,
and we had a hard time getting a cab at 4am in the morning!
The area around my house is TOTALLY QUIET.
Not a single vehicle in sight.
Met nini and finally hailed a cab!
Had a quick bite at subway after check in,
and boarded the plane! ^-^
Before the trip, nini and I actually saw someone's blog writing that
he don't get why would people save money on cab fare from the airport to hotel,
and carry the luggage up and down stairs, escalators, slopes and trains.
LOL.....
we're one of those people. haha!
I don't mind though!
It's a new experience! ^-^
Had to take shuttle bus from our plane to the airport cause..
yea..
budget airline.
but again! it's a new experience!
Reached airport & bought our octopus card!
It's like Singapore's ezlink card!
You'll have to put a deposit in though,
but you can get back the deposit after you return the card!
Went to city gate first since it's near to the airport.
Carrying our luggage everywhere!
Didn't manage to get anything in the end, so off we went to our hotel!
Saw sharetea so we bought it!
It's about a 10 mins walk to our hotel from the MTR!
Looks like a messy place, but eventually fell in love with the place.
It's a wet market in the morning selling vegetables & meat.
at night, it's a mini night market, selling clothes, shoes and many many other stuffs!
After many struggles, finally reached our hotel, Ovolo!
It's located at Sham Shui Po.
The hotel is GREAT!
Not only does the decor looks nice,
it's new, clean, great & fast service and it offers lots of free things!
If you ask for towels or shampoo, they'll get to you less than 5 minutes!
You get free drinks 24/7, even bottled drinks at their lobby.
And free alcohol from 6pm-8pm!
Even those drinks & food in the hotel or fridge is all complimentary! :O
Not to forget free WIFI!
We booked an apartment, with 3 rooms.
twin bed in 2 of the rooms and a single bed in the other room.
Was quite shock to get all these with the price we paid! ^-^
Our view from the hotel.
It's nothing crazy, but everything else in the hotel compensate for the view. haha
Put on make up and contacts while the boys are resting!
After settling down, we went to search for our dinner!
We tried Foo Lum at Jordan street after we saw someone saying that it's nice,
but....
kinda disappointing!
It's overpriced, and most of the dishes are... meh-
The suckling pig is the only dish that caught our taste buds. LOL.
but the medium size are.... kinda small for the 6 of us & it's not cheap too.
lol.
so we spent like $10-20 per pax for the dinner? I forgot :(
Went to eat 許留山 for dessert!
Drank their drink the last time I went to hongkong and fell in love with it! :O
So it's a MUST to try out if you're ever in HK! :D
And it's everywhere! so no worries if you do not know where to find one.
We went to Temple street afterwards.
Was kinda sad cause I had a bad stomachache!
& it's so hard to find a decent toilet! :O
But it's a nice little place to get souvenirs for your friends! ^-^
I think it's about the same as Ladies' market.
Went back to the hotel aftermath.
That's all for our 1st day!
Only realise now we didn't do much on the 1st day.
LOL.
Still had fun though!
Gonna blog about the next few days next time!
Going to geok's house for cooking session & stayover with vodka tomorrow!
