Day 3 In Hong Kong

Hubby wanted to try Tim Ho Wan since it has made waves even in Singapore. We decided to make our way down to one of their outlets at the IFC building and man… it was so crowded when we arrived early that morning.

However, it did not take us long to get our butts seated though it was crowded. Their business plan was pretty good; take your number and then have your ordered ready before your number is called. Once your number is called, you will hand them your order and get seated. It was almost immediately your tea and their signature char siew bao were served. The rest of the dishes were served pretty smoothly and quick.

We finished our brunch in less than one hour and we were out of there. Hubby was happy that the bill came out to the smaller than he expected. Personally, I did not really enjoy their signature char siew bao as I prefer the traditional type. However, I simply enjoyed the liver Zhu Chang Fen as it was really extremely tasty but the rest for the dishes were alright and unforgettable.

After our brunch, we wanted to hang around the bar at Hollywood Street but most of them were closed. That was our first time walking around Hollywood Street, a place we don’t usually go. We found this place pretty interesting but it’s really quite a challenge to comb the place when you have a pram with you.

This is one of the few things we have wanted to do while in Hong Kong – an afternoon tea like the locals. We checkout many places for afternoon tea on a Saturday afternoon and we came to a conclusion that we should go to Sky Lounge located at Sheraton Hotel since we were around that area and Lobby Lounge at Peninsular Hotel was already fully booked.

We arrived at Sky Lounge on time and were given a seat with a wonderful view. It was really nice to sit and chat with family or friends on a weekend with a cup of aroma coffee in your hand. The afternoon tea was the norm and it was really relaxing to just sit and enjoy the view especially when the weather is slightly cold on the outside.

When evening comes, I was too sick to even get up the bed. I was down with sore throat and fever; guess the cold weather plays a part. Hubby went out to get dinner back for us and I requested for my favourite wanton noodle from the particular shop and he came back with what was requested. Simply delicious and it warmed me almost immediately with my first mouthful of the soup noodle. Yummy indeed!!! I was really tempted to have the roast goose hubby bought for his dinner which smelt so good and he told me that it tasted superb!
