[Travel] Hong Kong - 6 days 5 nights F&E (Part 3/3)

Ello Readers!!!

Welcome back to my final post on HK. As per my previous post, you may want to read Part 1 & 2 before reading this. =)

Mongkok Station
Tung Choi / Ladies Street (女人街)
To me, there's nothing much at Ladies Street. This place sells mainly handphone accessories (i.e. handphone casing - comes in many designs), clothes, bags, souvenirs (i.e. luggage tags...etcs).

Direction: Exit D2

Sai Yeung Choi Street (Argyle Centre)
My second favourite place to shop after H&M. There are plenty of shops that sells clothes, shoes, bags and gifts. It is very crowded on weekends, and note, most stalls do not let you try on their clothes.

Direction: Exit D3

Also, while you are here, do try their cold noodle (pastas). It's in a plastic packet form, something fun, interesting and different.

章記香港仔魚蛋王
This eatery sells awesome fish skin. The noodles are also yummy! It's located opposite Argyle Centre.

Address: 150 Sai Yeung Choi Street, Mong Kok (旺角西洋菜街150號地下)
Tel: +852 2827 1668

Fried Fish Skin

Fish ball Noodle Soup (HKD23)

Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup (HKD23)

Beef Stew Noodle Soup (HKD23)

Tai Hing Roast Restaurant(太興燒味餐廳)
This place is an awesome place for their roasted meat. I think their environment is spacious and clean. Loved their "Chilled Original Milk Tea". However, I didn't like their rice, probably because we were one of their last few customers, and hence the rice is from the bottom of the rice cooker. It's sticky and a little hard...

Address: Unit C, G / F, Kai Wan Building, 142-146 Tung Choi Street, Mong Kok, Kowloon

Sha Tin Station
New Town Plaza
This was an impromptu decision to visit this shopping centre. It was one of the last few days where we covered most of our targeted venues. Do you know that they even had a Snoopy Place?

Direction: Exit A

Lai Chi Kok Station

Hong Kong Industrial Centre

Went there on a Saturday. It's a place where there are lots of clothes, bags and accessories to buy.

Direction: Exit C

Disneyland Resort Station

Disneyland

Was really excited to visit Disneyland *jumping around* to see all my idol princesses as a kid (PS: I have grown out of it) Hehe... When we arrived, the sky was cloudy. Upon checking the weather report via iphone, we were informed that there's a typhoon No. 3 today =( True enough, while queuing to have our pictures taking with Mickey & Minnie Mouse, it started raining and the wind was blowing ever so strongly *Groans* Hence, it was raining the entire day. That being the case, a lot of outdoor attractions were cancelled...... *Sad* Thank Goodness, the parade and the fireworks at 8.20pm were not cancelled.

Overall Experience? I enjoyed this trip, the exchange rate was very good as compared to a year ago. SGD1 = HKD6.29 (As at June 2011). Went crazy in H&M... Had a crazy experience in Disneyland because of the weather. I heard that July is a better time to go as there are Summer Sales, but there maybe typhoon. Nevertheless, if you are planning to go HK, I hope you will enjoy your trip! Thanks for reading =D

Good Night folks *.*

[Travel] Hong Kong - 6 days 5 nights F&E (Part 2/3)

Ello Readers!!!

If you haven't read Part 1 of my Hong Kong (HK) trip, perhaps, before reading this post, visit my previous post. For those who have read Part 1, let's continue on my trip to HK - Part 2 ~~

Central Station
Peak Tram
This is the place where you take the Peak Tram to the Wax Museum and the Sky Terrace.

In my earlier post, I'd mentioned that you can purchase cheaper tickets from the Airport Counter A04. When you reach the Peak Tram, you have to exchange the tickets that was provided by Counter A04 at the Peak Tram's Counter, and they will pass you the Peak Tram Pass.

Direction: Exit J2

The above tickets are to be exchanged for the Peak Tram Tickets

Madame Tussauds
This is their Wax Museum. In here, you can see some famous celebrities, politicians, royalties, cartoon characters... etc. Have posted some pictures taken in the Wax Museum *hehe* if you are a fan of any of this famous people, why not visit this place and have your pictures taken with them? There are more famous people than those I'm going to show.

Kelly Chen - Can you spot her?

Lady Gaga - I think her costume should be more outrageous

David Beckham

MM Lee Kuan Yew: Singapore's first Prime Minister

Barack Obama: You have to pay to get your photo taken here :(

William Shakespeare

Spiderman

Sky Terrace
Visit their Sky Terrace using the Peak Tram ticket pass. A bird eye view of HK.

New York Fries
Hungry? Head down to New York Fries. I loved the "Italian Job Poutine Combo". Simply wonderful.

Italian Job Poutine Combo (Large: HKD55) & Black Pepper Beef (Large: HKD58)

Italian Job Poutine: Bolognese, Parmesan Cheese, Cheese Curds & Basil Leaves

Black Pepper Beef: Beef, Onion, Red Bell Pepper, Black Pepper Sauce, Corn

Tsim Sha Tsui Station
Avenue of Stars (星光大道)
I don't think there anything much here, except celebrities' name with their handprint (for some) and/or their signatures on the pavements. Some of the more famous HK celebrities as follows :-

A Symphony of Lights (幻彩詠香江)
Seriously, this 20 mins show is a waste of time. Utterly boring... =(

Habour City
It's a huge shopping centre.

Website: http://www.harbourcity.com.hk/home

There's this restaurant in Habour City that sells amazing "silver fish" which goes well with beer ^.^ and it's 100% made in HK! There are five different flavours (refer to picture below). It costs HKD17 per packet, and costs HKD50 if you purchase 3 packets.

Restaurant Name: Super Star Seafood Restaurant

Directions: Exit A1

Take5 Co.
If you are into American Casual Style like streetwear, leather (i.e. Redmoon), good quality jeans, silver jewellery, you may consider visiting this place. Bear in mind tho, that this place is not as cheap as you think. A cottonwear T-shirt will cost you about HKD408 (after 20% if you are their member), and could easily cost much more than that. However, the quality is evident. I love their silver accessories :)

Address: 1/F 75 Grandville Road, Tsim Sha Tsui Kln. H.K.
Tel: +852 2375 5731

I can literally taste the Pearl Tapioca! Awesome!

Address: Shop No. 26, Chung King Mansion, 26 - 44 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon
Tel: +852 2316 2311

Delicious Thick Toast

*Dum-Dull* Pork with BBQ sauce *Lo-Ting*

I thought the noodles were rather salty :(

*Chicken Steak with Prestige Onion Sauce *Lo-Ting*

This one too... too salty for me...

Charlie Brown Cafe
Remember my 2nd post on Charlie Brown Cafe? This time the Charlie Brown Cafe is located in HK. Hehe... Went there for a cuppa coffee (the more expensive ones...) There're also some Charlie Brown's mechandise to be bought.

Address: G/F-1/F, Kok Pah Mansion, 58-60 Cameron Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon
