Hong Kong! - Day 5 & 6

09.02.2009

had a long ride to the east of HK - Lantau Island. we stopped at Tung Chung Station and took a bus up to visit the Giant Buddha and monastery..
as usual, munteng tasted Giant Buddha while i rulai-ed to recharge my energy! ><




the 2 carnivorous weren't keen on vegetarian meal so we had desserts instead..


after that, we shopped around in Citygate outlets and toured around Temple Street (which is also known as men's street - not much diff from ladies' street)

it was our last day in hk, so we decided to hit watsons, wing wah bakery n some sports shop to do some last minute shopping - mainly shopped for things requested by fellow friends n relatives back in msia. had our breakfast n checked out soon after. did some shopping again around kowloon n took a bus to airport. managed to grab my egg tart n polo pau for the last time in hk ;p


soy street - another interesting street name. they have many streets named after vegetables too, like Tung Choi, Sai Yeung Choi n etc. since young, i only know of sai yeung choi soup but not street =.=

we had our dinner before departing, 6 treasures meal! but it was no way compared to those we had previously. we also happily (coz me n munteng were so broke) got our refund for Octopus Card's deposit - a card we used for commuting on MTR n bus.


and we spotted a 'family' toilet in the airport. haha.. we checked it out of curiosity n there's just an adult n children's toilet bowl in there. how cute~



lastly, we departed at 8plus n reached lcct at midnite. we hanged around till dawn n left seperate ways to our respective hometowns - north(ipoh), south(jb) n east(brunei)!

oh ya, some mobile pics that can quite summarize our trip! ;)


indeed, it was a great trip with lotsa fond memories~ even thou we were always indecisive on what to eat, we did try new stuffs. haha.. curry yu dan was on munteng's top list but too bad, she didn't have a photo with it. chau taufu n 'tan' tart was on my list! XD think sk loves his goose rice and policemen better!

all in all, thanks loads ms. curry yu dan for being a good translator, i know u almost blew ur top few times while trying to explain the menu to us (thanks to sk ;p). and she did a wonderful job in trying to plan the itinerary.. as for sk, thanks for bringing ur extra HKDollar coz u had nthg else to spare but that.. haha.

credits to the city itself too coz they had clear signboards n road maps to guide us. so, anyone can just walk around freely without getting lost so easily. transportation there is very convenient too. just that the busy buzzling streets jam-packed with people might irritate anyone on a PMS day :/ anyone planning on a trip there, be prepared to get banged and literally rub shoulders! ;p


to wrap up,


great company + food + shopping = FUN + tiring (walking 12hours a day)! =D
