The Pleasant Randomness

Day started late as usual. Haha. Its a holiday after all ok. Meet up with Kit to check out the western market. The place was so small. We follow the tsaty aroma of bread to the back of the building, and search all over for the entrance of the bakery. After asking, we realised that it is actually located at another end of the building. Weird.

Headed off to complete my walk around Central area. Notice that there is really a stark contrast between the streets there. See pics below and u'll get what I mean. Had a wanton mee. It was so nice. Fresh whole crunchy prawn, so different from those minced one in SG. Tried out the pig hand too. It was kinda too disgusting to eat it in public. No its no about the pig. Its about the way to eat it. Hence, no photos taken. Haha

Took a bus towards Stanley later that afternoon. The bus road along Repulse Bay is mesmerising. With the birght yellow sun setting in the background, those sandy beaches along the bay with high rise condo made it seemed like a perfect place to stay. As we race down the highway, I couldn't help but want to live there to see that magnificent scenery everyday at sunset.

Stanley is the first place in HK where I see more tourist than locals. Haha. It is really a pleasant place to chill and relax. They have a beach walkway, nice outdoor seating with small little pubs. Kinda feel like a small little beach boardwalk in US minus the crazy amusement parks and theater. Went around those places where a TVB drama serial was film at. 'Fei Duin Lau Cheong'. Was a fan of the movie. Hence, made Kit walk all around with me to take pics. Sorry!

Ray and Winter when all the way to Stanley to meet up with me that night. Thanks so much! We head off to Aberdeen, once a fishing village in HK because I wanna see Jumbo floating restaurant. It wasn't as fanciful as I've expected.

I was more excited about buying dinner from the boat. Haha. It was such a new experience buying those 'teng chai mien'. Its like u buy it form the uncle at the boat, bring it all the way to the park to eat and then return it to him at the boat. Taste good too!

We headed for The Peak next. Thanks to my friends for taking me there. Totally enjoyed the whole tram ride up.

At the Peak, the view is simply marvellous. City skyline from the top is really amazing. HK is so wonderful. The skyline is marvellous no matter where you view it from. Btw, there are houses situated higher then where obeservatory is located. Totally envy those who actually live at the top of mountains.

We did an amazing race round Mongkok. Tryin out a few types of wonderful HK street side food in a short short time. We managed to queue up and buy those thirst quenching plum drink, delicious duck meat and best ever takoyaki ball i ever had in a short period of 15 minutes. Must go back there again to eat before i head back home. Haha. End of another wonderful day in HK. Too tired now. Koonzzz.............
