Last dec, ma & I went for a holidae in HK as well as relative visiting. N we set out on the 20th.

Ma @ T2

At the waiting area..hee.. excited…

Cheers for SQ..Hip Hip Hurray~!

Yay goin set off le!!~

Den aft the 3hr plus flight, here I am in HK airport!!! (photo taken when ma needed to go toilet)…other than some flight attendants and the passengers, there were nothing to c.. no shops ,not much flowers, no welcoming signs.. Even the lightings are of boring white fluorescent tubes.. arGh…

Then we had to take this train (something like our skytrain) to proceed to the immigration. IMMIGRATION SO FAR FOR WAD SIA!!! so ma fan sia..where got liddat de.. come out from airplane already so tired liao.. still need to walk and take train..HaiZ!! **shake head** CMI…

Then the next dae, 1st and 2nd aunty brought us to a Chinese old shop for porridge.. this shop have been ard for decades..since I small small I came here to have porridge le..oh ya. btw, porridge in HK tastes veri differently..if I not mistaken, they got put ginko nuts in de..its neither thick or watery.. more like gluey. nice.. veri cheap too.. add a little fine salt and it tastes great..

Left to right: 2nd aunt, ma, me & 1st aunt
we ordered side dish like “Zhar(3) Leong(2)”, fried dough sticks wrapped in zhu chang fen..HK restaurants and food outlets like to paste their menus and pricing all over the wall..makes u hard to decide on to eat..
Practically, pple in HK loves to shop and eat.. so my trip and this whole posting is all abt food. (cos I really din really go shop..the aunties couldn’t walk far and neither they wiling to let me shop on my own..faint..)

So in the afternoon, we headed to a Chinese dim sum restaurant at Tsim Sah Tsui to have buffet lunch!

Railway train map(top)& MTR route map(bottom)(HK have MTR = our MRT, and oso have railway train)




They have special first class cabins where u have to tap the octopus card for another time at the first class cabin area. If I’m not mistaken first class is twice the price of the normal ticket. Its worth it cos u no need squeeze urself with the other pple during peak hrs, especially when carrying mani shopping bags, so u can comfortably sit throughout the journey!
Then dinner at near the hotel I stayed at mong kok east area..My Porky rice with tomato sauce!! SGD 4.00 for a mega big plate..2 persons can share..

Normally in sg whereby we have chicken rice set, they give us 2 small leaves of veg, but here, (look at the veg in the black sq plate) they give us almost a whole packet of veg.
actually can sae that HKers are veri particular of wad they eat. like Japan. cos they have too many places where they sell cheap and good food. so if u are stingy and not up to standard, they will not go back to patronize again. not like us.. not good but die die will go back cos lazy to go other place to eat..have to take bus and all.. so ma fan..

Soon nite came. time to go back hotel via minivan..if u dunno wad is a minivan, this is how they look. they are like taxi but they have 10 person’s capacity. the uncle must wait for at least 7 passengers b4 they drive off.. feeder services costs abt SGD1.40 per ride..u pay by cash, and longer routes u use the octopus card (like our ezlink card) to pay. and u can choose to alight anywhere along the route so long the area is not a restricted area.Oh ya.. HK has a population of abt twice of Sg’s but the land is abt the same size as us.. so can sae dat its veri packed and every building except private condos, have shops at the ground floor.. so to attract business, they hung big mega sign boards at the sides of the buildings. so at nite it looks lovely with all the lightings..

Soon “Dong Zhi” came so ma n I had dinner at 1st aunt’s hse.. so we went to the market.
Buy…And buy…Still Buying..

Den hungry le..

So eat..

Eat…
And eat…

Den dinner came…

The green coloured drink is menthol liquor..not bad..So we ate again… (u cannot escape from eatin when wif the aunties…=.<) These are my cousins..Peggy on left, Angel on right..
They bought us Christmas gifts!!

Den after dinner time to check whether got “tio” toto.. they call it “lok hup choi” means u 6 number combination..like our toto la.. den boh tio..KNS!! so I ate big foot ice cream cool down…
And the day ended..

Den the next day we went Fen Ling to look for 1st Aunt again.. Her husband brought us to view some exhibitions..

Then the next day, I had “Lar Zar Min a.k.a “Cha-ir Zai Min” for breakfast..
Basically u can order wad u wan..like yong tao hu..but much lesser varieties. and majority of the food are pig’s blood,liver,skin,tummy,intestine..etc…soup base taste like lor mee minus the vinegar..
