We were so so so tire from yesterday all day walking and late night travelling from Shen Zhen. So much so we eventually started our day late today to Hong Kong.
And dad was nagging nonstop about it, for a while at least. Scary!!
Further more as we were based in Zhu Hai, we had to take a 1 hour ferry over to Hong Kong and guess what? The ticket per person per one directional trip was RMB120!!! Ouch, that was such expensive.
As we arrived at around noon time. We hurriedly walk around Jordan street looking for dim sum. That itself took us a while... and we stumbled over this
Snake delight shop (go figure yourself... kih kih)
And this... (written beautiful girls at attractive price)
Ah... finally found ourselve this nice big restaurant serving dim sum (local actually refer as YumChar).
And we eat these...
And I must say, only Hong Kong people know their Cantonese food the best. Not even us in Malaysia can claim to make dim sum better that this.
I mean, Char Siew chee cheong fun that has the Char Siew that is still tasting freshly barbecued, egg tarts pastry that melts in the mouth before you know, porridge that is so flavourful. I don't think we can find such offering easily anywhere else (hmmm... perhaps Hong Kong migrant infested places like Melbourne and Vancouver???).
It is great to know that food actually cost less here these days. For such scumptious meal, we paid like HK$140 or so only (USD45), which is of similar standard to Malaysia, I think. Heh...
After eating, begins our loooong walking... and shopping as well.
My sister was like shopping at Esprit in Tong Choi (Nui Yan) Road like crazy.
We passed by one shop along the Jordan street that sell steam milk custard dessert 双皮奶 and steam egg custard 炖蛋.
Seemed very popular as everyone is sharing table. But the price, gosh, cut throat. See the menu here and you decide yourself!
The dessert is okay, kinda like what we've expected. We ordered two steam milk and two steam egg, with milk tea for everyone, that itself cost us HK$130!!++
One thing I notice, small places like Hong Kong (and Venice I once read), land is scares and there are very few places to sit. If you want to sit, most likely you will have to go to a eating place to order something and sit. Even that, you can sit for too long, as there are other customers would like to have a chance on them as well!
I was hoping for an exciting count down in Hong Kong to year 2007, but our last ferry back to Zhu Hai was like 9.30PM (WHAT?!). So, we only manage to snap some pre-celebration Hong Kong skyline before going home.
And the Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel look gorgeous as ever.
Everyone started walking on the street nearby, as it was closed for new year eve celebration!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
