Day 8 - HK

*back dated entry*

had to wake up like 3+am in the morning to prepare for the 9am flight to hk... we took taxi to the taipei main station bus terminal A (same terminal as the bus to 基隆).. we could take a cab down but that will cost about 1000NT, so cheapo us decided to take bus instead to save $

bus ticket

after check in, we had a small bite before boarding the plane... expected... horrible food.... if you have time... DONT eat at those cafe inside boarding area... all HORRIBLE food.... i think the public area should have better food but we were too early... most places were still closed....

horrible beef noodle....

tuna sandwich was much better

we reached hk about 11am+... then my bf had stomach spasm so we went to see the doctor at the airport... & my god... we spent like 3hr+ at the clinic lo... kns slow... but what to do... only 1 clinic... so we only had horrible food at airport again.... the maxim at airport was really bad... again... if have time... dont eat inside airport... mcdonald should be fine though...

bus to hotel

this time i chose regal riverview hotel at shatin.... i wanted more city area but due to the super peak season.. most places were either full or too expensive for us... even for this place... for 31st dec - 1st jan, it cost about 80-90sgd/person/night... but what to do...

the hotel.... look kind of run down on the outside...

but the room was SPACIOUS!!! is like almost impossible to have such big rooms in HK

quite big toilet too

even got high quality slipper....

all the toiletries...

really love the big room.... same as what i read from the review... spacious room... but one major drawback about the hotel is no free wifi.... i was quite surprised since it is quite a reputable & big hotel, one would expect to provide free wifi.... it actually cost 120hkd/day for 24hr wifi... i may as well buy a sim card... even cheaper... for me, i can make do with no wifi... my friend almost gone crazy.... haha...

so after rolling on the big and soft bed... we went to look for our dinner = 添好运!!! sg always have super long queue... so i purposely go back to hk and try how nice is this place.... we went to the 深水埗outlet since people said there are lesser people there.... so the place is actually situated in the middle of 深水埗 and prince edward station.... you need about a good 15-20min walk to reach there... luckily for us, we reached the place before 7pm, so there was no queue

the restaurant...

signboard

when i sat down and look at the menu, i was shocked... there is very limited choices of food available... i thought there will be like at least 20 items on the menu but nay....

the menu.... practically almost everything is there...

shrimp dumpling... ok lo...

siew mai,  beef ball & the famous bbq pork bun... these few dishes were not bad

dessert....

prawn rice roll... not bad

i think the taste was not bad for the price... the total bill was about 120hkd.... but i think i wont go back again if there is a long queue... not worth it for such few selection.....

after that we walked to prince edward to my favourite shopping paradise =  花园街!!! i LOVE this place... you can find clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, food, etc... although the prices had increased over the years, i think is still one of the cheapest shopping area in hk.... 

the famous ice cream truck

shopping area!!!

my favourite curry fishball!!!!

normally i will buy ALOT from there but i controlled this time as i have no more space to keep winter clothes & somehow couldnt find anything nice this time.... so after shopping... we went back to hotel & rest....
