Hong Kong Holiday 2011 - The Cable Car, Wisdom Path, Shopping & Food Experience

It all starts from here, the Singapore Airlines A380

And where we ended up at

First time stepping into Hong Kong

And looks like the way I see on TVB dramas

So Barley and I went to Lei's Garden at Times Square, to try their Roasted Pork

And other dishes which names I do not recall, but so much hype for their 1-star Michelin rating

Another 1-star Michelin restaurant, Yung Kee - Roasted Goose, delicious but a bit too fatty to last through

But their Century Eggs are to die for, not to mention expensive too (~S$10 per box of 6)

Mak's Noodles for the experience since everyone is raving about it, and good I must say

Dessert was Egg Tarts from Tai Cheong Bakery

Crispy freshly baked on the outside, soft and melt in your mouth feeling on the inside

Breakfast at Tim Ho Wan - one of the cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant in the world. Just look at the queue!

There were many other nice ones, but these are my favourites - Siew Mai, Radish Cake & Char Siew Buns
Next stop, the Cable Car experience and it really trains one's patience and endurance

Nice view from the cabin, but a crystal cabin option is not a wise choice, more costly and the benefits are just marginal, except for the aerial view of the hiking path. Three things to look out for later...

Giant Buddha

Wisdom Path

View from the Top

Citygate Outlet was just beside the Cable Car station, and some of the items are real cheap. Like the 6 pairs of running socks bought from Nike. Also, I had to snap a photo from Polo Ralph Lauren.

Took a ferry from Central to Yau Ma Tei

And wander the streets of Hong Kong at one of their night markets

 
Finally, Hong Kong trip will not be completed without these 2 items - Bo Luo Bao & Yin Yang

Our stay at HK was a 5D4N. As usual, hectic holiday isn't our usual style. There are so many more things to do at HK. But we like the pace we were moving. It also gives us a chance to return to HK again, and something new to look forward to.
