Day 4 of our trip!
Mido Cafe for breakfast. So glad that Mido is only a 2 minutes walk from our hotel whoop and super love the food and ambience. Mad love for the condensed milk toast, super nomz. Definitely one of the best meal we'd ^^
Off to do some shopping @ Mongkok!
Couldn't resist the street food so we bought curry fishball, bacon-wrapped sausage and egglets to share! Super goooooddddd.
Headed over to meet Sheryl for lunch at the Michelin Star Tim Ho Wan. We met some Singaporeans while waiting in queue and they told us that they preferred Sg's over this. & after having the meal, i honestly think that the standard is the same so do just settle with the one over in Singapore. Nothing much to rave about....just that i still love the pork buns all the same.
Shopped along the streets and at Argyle Centre. So many pretty (and cheap) coats and knits i feel like buying all of them but not v appropriate for the hot weather in Singapore mehz :( Anyway, super dope cold noodles at the basement of Argyle Centre! I dont even know how such simple noodles can taste so good!!!
Peixuan felt a little unwell so we went back to the hotel to let her rest. Met Sheryl for Hui Lau Shan after which and we roamed around aimlessly before parting.
Day 5 of our trip!
Breakfast @ Kam Wah Cafe which is super good. They had one of the friendlier teahouse staffs ever and yup, i think this is my favorite meal in hongkong!!! Love the eggtarts, po lo bao and the maggi (the soup base is super good).

& off we go to disneyland whoop ^^
Love the disney-themed train! Damn cutesy please!!!
The 4 main attractions of disneyland: Tomorrow Land, Fantasy Land, Adventure Land, ToyStory Land.
& here goes a series of photo spam ^^
Flights of Fantasy!!
& so... the damn act smart me didn't bring along a coat that day and i was trembling in the cold for 2-3 hours while waiting for the fireworks. We were pretty tired so we didn't want to walk around anymore + our cameras were almost out of batt + we wanted to save the last bar of our cameras for the fireworks.
We managed to stay till the end, spent a million years shopping for souvenirs and finally, ended the day with an empty stomach, empty wallet, empty camera battery life, empty portable charger and our dying phones.
Went back to the hotel to drop our stuffs, charge our batteries and eventually heading out for our extremely late dinner (supper) at 11+pm at Yi Dian Xin. All the famous dishes were oos so we settled for whatever that are still available on the menu. Everything was so gooooodddd, way better than Tim Ho Wan *slurpz* & so we promised ourselves to come back the following morning to try the recommended famous dishes! Super gooooodddd ^^
Day 6 (and our last day) of the trip!
The super duper smart me brought out my dslr without my camera battery inside (AGAIN) so i'd to make do with my iphone camera. Grabbed a cup of hot chocolate from Starbucks and off we go to The Peak.
Rushing to buy all the food that we want to bring back to Singapore for our families and friends.
1. Jean Paul Hevin (box of 5) macarons (which we bought on day 2 of our trip)
Prices are about sgd4 per piece.
2. Pierre Herme (box of 7) macarons
No photography was allowed in the shop so no photos of the super colorful macarons we saw on display. We were asked to choose the "hongkong" or "paris" landmarks boxes and since we were in hongkong, both of us chose the hongkong landmark boxes. Prices are about sgd4 per piece.
3. (Box of 8) Eggtarts from Taicheong Bakery.
Prices are approximately sgd1 per piece.
4. (Box of 12) Portuguese Eggtarts from Lord Stow's Bakery.
My family loves these eggtarts to the bit (and so do i). Damn frigging good omg, i can have these everyday. Wished i bought more though!! One dozen is definitely not enough for a family of four haha. Prices are about sgd1 per piece.
Brought back some Wife Biscuits as well but i didn't have a picture of it. Not a fan of wife biscuits but i bought them from a famous shop anyway since my friend requested me to. So yes, i kinda spend all my money on fooooooddddd :<
Went back to the hotel to drop all these food barangs and also in an attempt to find my camera battery. The hotel staffs couldn't find my camera battery so i'd no choice but to purchase another battery in one of the camera shops along the street. Sucha waste of money because i managed to find it when i emptied my luggage upon returning home ugh. & we made a trip back to Argyle Centre to get my lost beanie which i just bought the day before. Sobz i'm super careless i know :(
& then it was back to One Dimsum for lunch to try their famous dishes which is indeed worthy of all the raves. Wayyyyyy better than Tim Ho Wan as i've mentioned above.
Was supposed to head to Lantau Island according to our itinerary but unfortunately, we were too late :( Cable car rides to Lantau were almost stopping and the (unfriendly) lady told us that the attractions at Lantau are already closed. Definitely going to be back for Lantau the next time i'm in Hongkong. & so, we explored Citygate instead (which got nothing much actually).
Went back to our hotel to pick up our luggages but how can we miss having Hui Lau Shan the last time! Wished i could tabao these for my dad who is a great fan of Mango!!
Oh and we tried taking photos at all the MTR stations we alighted at, so here's a collection ^^ I'm not quite sure if these are all the stations we went to but should be~~~
Anyway, we fought a tough battle going from our hotel to HKIA :( First, I lost my Octopus card (me and my carelessness, tsk). Second, we kind of overestimate the amount of money we left and in the end, we didn't have sufficient money to bring us to the airport. Third, there's no lift or escalators from the streets of Yau Ma Tei to the MTR so we had quite a difficult time dragging our barangs down 4 flights of stairs. Four, the wheels and zip of my luaggage just had to give way sobz. Amidst all these i'm glad we still managed to make it back to sunny Singapore!!!
Like i've mentioned above - Taicheong Bakery Eggtarts / Lord Stow's Eggtarts / Pierre Herme Macarons / Jean Paul Hevin Macarons & Wife Biscuits (which i did not manage to take a photo of).
