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
