FOOD
The food was fantastic (dim sum, meals at the cha chan tings, etc). I also tried the mango dessert they had at Mongkok, apparently its known to be quite popular wid both locals and tourists. Must eat at their tea houses, equivalent to our coffeeshops but smaller scale. Foodwise is good but not necessarily cheap. My bowl of wanton noodles was at Hk$28 (S$5) and it didn't come with char siew, only meat dumplings.Anyway my last meal in HK was at the airport where I ate at the foodcourt from a stall called Shanghai Lao Lao. I ordered a bowl of beef noodles, 3pcs pan-fried pork dumplings and 3pcs steam shrimp dumplings. The lady who took my order must have thought I hadn't eaten for days cos I ordered so much for one. The food was yummy!
TRANSPORT
Alot of walking though but it was all good. I'm impressed with the public transport there. I had the oppt to try out the MTR Train (HK$5-HK$8.50), Ferry (HK$2.20) and public light 16-seater bus(HK$5.50). My fav mode of transport? The ferry. The ride there was just kinda theraputic and had calming effect wid the gentle sea breeze blowing, it was soothing.
On the Ferry
On the MTRThings to do or places to go would be:
MongKok - Bcos of its name, it kinda makes me think of Bangkok (even tho i've never been there! hehehe) Ladies market with tons of bags, shoes, clothes, belts and other stuff to make you go wahh... Then down the other street, there's a wide range of electronic goods.
Lan Kwai Fong / SoHo/ Mid-Levels - Its really more of the sights here than anything else. The lil shops lined up the hilly roads and alleys, things here aint cheap, its more of boutique shops and bars, pretty much an angmohs hangout
Central - This is a MUST GO station to get off and walk around. For one, you need to exit from this station if you wanna go to the mid-levels, SoHo and LKF. Secondly, they had a store called H&M there and the clothes are very much like topshop and dorothy perkins but at a way lower price. I found my perfect workpants there and tons of other clothes.
Causeway Bay - I wasn't overly excited abt this place where they had the Times Square Mall cos its very upmarket and carry brands like Prada, Gucci, Lane Crawford, Marc Jacob, etc. Like helloooo. Of cos they also had some other smaller shops but i just wasn't into this place but its just one of those places you gotta go so that you can tell people you've been there, hahah. lol
Will I go back to HONG KONG again? Hell yeah! =)
