Day 4 In Hong Kong

Our vacation is almost coming to an end. Being the last full day we have in Hong Kong today, we tried to make the most out of it as much as possible.

We set off early for our dim sum breakfast and trying to enjoy all our favourite dishes though our stomach has limited space. Faith was enjoying her porridge and prawn dumplings as usual and she mentioned that she loves the porridge very much.

After our breakfast, we went down to Sham Shui Po to get stuff for mother-in-law and as well as some goodies for friends & family. We enjoyed combing that area as it has the accent of Hong Kong truly… the whole area kept the beauty of being simple and so HONG KONG! As we walked round the place, we saw many interesting stuff like that street market, electronic stalls that sells old records and turn tables.

We decided to have afternoon tea instead of lunch as we are still stuffed due to our heavy breakfast. We went to one of our favourite café Yee Shun for their cart noodles and egg sandwiches. We were surprised that Faith enjoyed the noodles so much that she almost finished about half of the whole portion while hubby enjoyed the egg sandwiches with his hot milk tea…

On our way back to hotel, we bought egg tarts and coffee to keep us happy while we packed some of our stuff. Faith on the other hand was sleeping soundly on a cold afternoon while we enjoyed the egg tarts, zhu chang fen and coffee in the comfort of our room.

It was our last dinner and we were too tired to head to town. We found this little Italian restaurant, Tivoli at the next street from our hotel and decided to give it a shot though it was not in our list. The moment we were seated, we somehow regretted it.

Anyway, we went ahead to order the dishes like risotto, seafood carbonara and their ribeye as our mains. First of all, I did not enjoy the house red wine as it was too dry. Secondly, the dishes’ portion were huge and it did not look tasty… looks does matter… the mushroom risotto was not as tasty and the carbonara was worst off… (and they told me that it was one of their best pasta!). Hubby was disappointed with the ribeye as it was not cooked nicely. It was hard (almost like well done) and the sauce they mixed did not compliment the meat… totally Failure!

At the end of the dinner, we felt bad as we could not finish the dishes we ordered for it was really too big of a portion and at the same time, it wasn’t tasty! We came to a conclusion that we will not be trying out any restaurants that are not in our eateries list….
