Hong Kong Day 3

Day 3 in Hong Kong:
  • Wellington Street
  • Madame Tussauds Hong Kong
  • Causeway Bay
  • Times Square etc shopping mall
  • Avenues of Stars
  • Temple Street
  • Hui Lau Shan Dessert
Woke up early to have our breakfast opposite our hotel. We had our buffet breakfast on the 2nd day in the hotel, but due to the pathetic choices, we dun wanna continue their offers for the next few days, it's not worth it, rather to have hongkie breakfast!

Took 45 mins of MTR to check out something important for the next day. hiak hiak.

We went to Wellington Street to taste out the world famous roasted goose Yung Kee Restaurant. I find it abit overpriced. It's like so~ so~, well, maybe i duno how to appreciate, Forbes ranks this place as one of the top 15 restaurants in the world.




However, their century egg, siew mai, char siew bun was super yummy!!

We proceeeded to Madame Tussauds Hong Kong. Took bus 15 again.
Entry ticket at HK$ 150 per adult, about S$30.






I bought this book to keep.


I like this picture! roars. im the dowager! i want the chair!


with the fake Twins.


as you can see from the boobs, Madonna.


Marilyn Monroe at HK.


Yau Ming. I was like wtf so tall. like a GIANT! he can drive a car MEH?

and many more other pictures.....

We took mini bus down to Central again. lol. decided to try out Tsui Wah Cafe Restaurant 翠华餐厅, which is famous with their pineapple bun, 波萝包! located directly opposite Yung Kee Restaurant, reasonable price and yummylicious food bun.


I love love love it!


I wasnt ready for the camera but just to show you their typical maggie mee with luncheon meat and egg.

After our meal, we walked along Wellington Street to locate Lyndhurst Terrace for the famous egg tart!!
Exact Location: Tai Cheong Bakery 泰昌餅家 at 35 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central.


just look at the queue and you know why!! HK$5 for one egg tart, cheap cheap. they sell other pies too, like chicken pie, char siew pie etc.


Egg Tarts. The Panda cookies and the rest was from Kee Hua Bakery on Wellington Street.
All about food.

After that, we went to Causeway Bay for shopping! From department stores, to small boutiques and bargain streets, it will take you one whole day to walk thru. Anyway, we went to Times Square to buy my Kiehl's skincare products.


Hoho, spent quite alot here. Kiehl's in Hong Kong is cheaper (by abit) than Singapore, so I got it all since I want to change my skincare range. I was using Kiehl's when I was in poly, then change it to Clinique, and Clarins. Now, I am back to Kiehl's!

Foaming Non-Detergent Washable Cleanser, 250ml - HK$170, about S$34.

my all time fav Calendula Extract Toner, 250ml - HK$310, about S$62. (I used to buy in Singapore at S$75!!)

Yerba Mate Tea Lotion, 75ml - HK$315, about S$63! (this is the most painful of all, small bottle yet so expensive, but.... i just feel like trying out, quite new product from Kiehl's, and Singapore selling at freaking S$78 lah!)

No.1 Lip Balm - HK$ 75, S$15 (not much different)

Helped peiyun to get her shampoo there too.

Overall, im happy with my purchase!!


A random picture of me at the street of Causeway Bay, outside SOGO.

Walked here and there, then we proceeded to Avenue of Stars.
Take MTR, alight at East Tsim Sha Tsui Station.




Us at Avenue of Stars. A very very very windy night. love it!

We rest for a while before Temple Street.
Took MTR, alight at Jordan Station.


Typical night market.

I was quite tired by then, so we went to Hui Lau Shan for dessert. We had this dessert so many times over the few days! they used to have one outlet here in Singapore, the one and only near Isetan Scotts, we always go during poly after school with my classmate, but i think closed down in 2006 or something, or they move to somewhere else i duno...




drained. i was so tired! but nonetheless, the mango ice with jelly and glutinous rice ball was nice!

Back to hotel to rest and prepare for the next day!

To be continued....
