hong kong day 6: shueng wan day 6 was a short one, despite the fact that our flight was at 8pm. seeing that, we had to check in 2 hours ahead and grab dinner, we had to leave our hotel at 5pm. we met at 11am, so we could sleep in after a long day and went for some dim sum at sheung wan. it was recommended by my sis's friend. a traditional dim sum restaurant, where we had to share tables with two other groups. waitresses pushed carts of steaming hot dim sum out of the kitchen and people rushed to them, shouting their orders and pushing the slips of paper for the waitresses to stamp. it was chaos. worse still, the food wasn't even good. it was overpriced. parv didn't even eat anything as it was so messy she felt that there was a film of pork over everything. i agree. even i doubted their cleanliness. after that, we strolled along soho, hit h&m and spent 2 hours there shopping! before we knew it, it was time to head back to our hotel to collect our luggage. this time we took the tram back. i was grateful that it wasn't packed. usually, when trams passed us in the morning, we could see people inside squashed against each other. this time, we even had the luxury of choosing seats. it was a cheap way (hk$2) of gettting across the town centre. what we did before collecting our luggage was to grab our last cup of yakult lemon juice with jelly at comebuy opposite our hotel. i'm still missing it. it's so sad that all bubble tea shops in singapore sell the same thing. they should start thinking out of the box and come up with interesting flavours. that's all for hong kong. as i keep saying, 6 days is too short a period. i wished i had extended the trip, but i was already running out of money. so maybe next time :) Labels: family, food, friends, holidays |
