Day 3 Of Secret Trip

Weather was cooling after a long night of heavy rain and we have planned to visit Yuen Long since it was new to us. Yuen Long is considered as New Territories and we had to take MTR, KTR and their LRT to get to the destination.

Yuen Long is a new place for both of us and we visited coz’ we heard so much about it through HKG drama serials… it is also famous for their wife-biscuit and the wanton noodles. When we arrived at the station, it was all quiet and we walked around the mall before heading to the LRT.





We took the light rail to the place we wanted to visit and we were surprised to find the town as crowded as Causeway Bay! We passed their local wet market which was really interesting. They sell everything from raw meat, vegetables, fruits to cake and tarts… really cool and very crowded.




As we walked, we looked out for both our noodle shop and the famous Hang Heung Cake Shop. I would love to bring back some wife biscuits for mum… With the help of the local police, we found the shop… and man, it was crowded… mostly locals. We tried out their egg tarts for the first time and it was extremely tasty… mmmh… better than Tai Chung… Ooopsss…


I noticed this shop as I strolled and found the name irritating…’好到底’ and I laughed at it and told hubby about it… he laughed and suddenly he said “that’s the place we are looking for” and I was like… ‘HUH?” yes, we had lunch at”好到底麵家”.

We ordered their famous wanton noodles and beef brisket. Aiyo… this would be the best wanton noodles man… the noodles were springy and the wanton were made with fresh prawns. The soup is the winner too… fantastic! The noodles did justice to the shop name!






Went to Lan Kwai Fong hoping to watch the Rugby game but somehow the place was really quiet and we decided to get back to hotel to chill before dinner....



Before heading for dinner, we went to Causeway Bay to do our last minute shopping and the atmosphere was simply great as we saw lots of Rugby fans dressing up like it was Halloween. We believed that the match ended awhile ago and that was the reason why we saw so many crazy fans moving around. We saw some fans dressing up like chamber maids, bar maids, chefs, hot bunny, colored faces, and the ultimate was the few uncles who dressed in cartoon towels and shower caps. It was hilarious…


We rapped up our dinner at a local café which served pretty good goose! Though it wasn’t a feast but it was simply enjoyable with simple dishes like Fu Yong Egg, stirred fried kailan with garlic and mixed roast meat. I have to end the meal with the delicious iced lemon tea.




I Love HONG KONG

Day 2 Of Our Secret Trip

Early this morning, we woke up fresh and ready to explore some parts of HKG which we have never visited. On our way to the MTR station, we noticed a Porsche road-show and we being car lovers went closer.

The cars were so beautiful and I couldn’t resist but to take a picture or two with it. I managed to try out the driver’s seat too and man… it was really cool! Simply awesome! I was totally taken away by the beautiful cars around us and I didn’t want to leave….



Anyway, went for some shopping and in fact, searching for my track shoes… the weather was really cooling and we visited Sham Shui Po as hubby would like to see Apliu Street Flea Market. The place sells mostly second-hand electronic stuff and a good place to get some antique watches, old coins and other relics. After shopping, it’s time to sit and have my favorite steam milk dessert… it’s simply heavenly!!!





We have never tried seafood in HKG though we visited so many times that we can apply for citizenship!!! Lei Yun Mun was one of the popular seafood paradises and yes, this time, we visited. Though it was drizzling but it didn’t stop our journey to having seafood in a foreign place!






We were taken aback when we arrived as there were so many restaurants and we were kind of lost… it was really interesting as we are allowed to choose our own seafood. We finally settled down at one of the restaurant after walking one full round.

We ordered steam prawns; stir fried kailan with garlic, clams with black bean sauce, fried butter crab and fried rice. Both of us thought the seafood was pretty fresh but the fried rice was the winner! Funny but somehow that was the best dish! Expensive you might ask and YES, it was expensive… therefore, you can avoid popular places like this one but it was really fun to play with that raw seafood….

Secret Get-Away

Hubby and I decided to have a short get-away to the nearby country for the weekend as his project will be hitting the peak period soon. We flew off to HKG taking the afternoon flight as both of us needed to clear some stuff before having a secret weekend….

When we arrived, it was already early evening and we checked ourselves in to Park Hotel which was located at Tsim Sha Tsui (the popular tourist area). Guess what, we were upgraded to a one bedroom suite… how cool was that! It totally made our night as a first timer to stay in Park Hotel.



Wasting no time, we dashed out for our steamboat dinner nearby and man… the food was amazing delicious! This time, we tried the herbal chicken soup as our favorite mushroom soup base was not on promotion. For dishes, we decided to order a vegetable-meat platter, beancurd skin, dumplings and their ‘can’t go wrong’ meatballs…. YUMMY!
