Infinite Miracles

Hong Kong main characteristic: dine with strangers. In their Hong Kong 'char chan teng'/coffee shop, not a single chair is unoccupied. When your table has got unoccupied chairs, people will just sit down at your table. So not used to it. @@"

We took a ferry to Lamma Island. Walking on a ferry was so much fun! We need to walk to the left and walk to the right, and so on. Lol. Can experience how a drunk person walks.

Arrived at Lamma Island.

We went for a hiking. On the way, we stopped by at a 'tao fu fa' stall for some rest. This stall was on the newspaper before, so we thought it should be very nice. However, when we tried it, it's got a burnt taste. My sis said maybe the sugar was burnt. Swt.

It was a hot and sunny day. What a HOT winter. Look at this! So many people brought their four legged best friends along for a morning walk. :D

After about 2 hours, sweating profusely, finally we've reached the village on the other side of the island. Phew...

Welcome to Lamma Island!

Was super hungry after the walk. So we had seafood for lunch. Fresh from the sea! The all time favourite deep fried squid!

Fresh abalones!

While waiting for the next ferry, we took a visit to the floating fish farm.

It's like sea creatures information session. The fishes weren't very active during winter, but we still got learned some interesting facts about them.

Then, dad brought me to the Stars Avenue. Yay! Can touch Hong Kong stars' handprint. Hehe. Some of the handprints are disappearing, not so obvious anymore. Anyway, Jackie Chan's handprint is very deep, won't disappear easily.

This are the handprints of Wong Chau Sang. So yeng! xD

Dinner at a hakka restaurant. The 'mui choi kao yook' was super nice! Just didn't like the layer of jelly(fats) on top.

Dessert: mango pudding. I super love Hong Kong mango pudding. Something (don't know what's that called) will flow out from this pudding, like liquid pudding inside. Lol. This was the best pudding I've ever had. Eat 10 times also won't be bored of it. :p

A super tiring day indeed. Non stop walking. Pengsan.

Day 3, we started off with some dim sum to warm up our body.

We were going to visit the big Buddha at Ngong Ping. So we took the cable car up the mountains.

The cable car journey was quite long, about 20 minutes. Plus, some part of it were very steep and a bit scary. @@"

We finally arrived at the top and head for big Buddha by foot.

Along the way, there's got a lot of shops and things to see. So it's not just a boring walk.

Reached the bottom. Now let's climb the stairs!

Really exhausting, but getting closer...

At the top! :D

After the exercise, it's time for lunch. So hungry. Went to a fishing village at the bottom of the mountain by bus. The seafood was quite nice.

And here's my dessert. It's my first time eating a 'put chai gou' and I liked it. Lol.

My sis tried this. Forgotten what it's called. It's a bit messy to eat it and I could only taste the biscuit instead of the sticky thing in between.

Then, we left the fishing village by bus and back down the mountains by cable car.

As for dinner, we rushed for the highly rated claypot chicken rice shop in order to get a seat. They filled up within minutes after we arrived.

The oyster omelette was very crispy and tasty. We were thinking how to order it in cantonese, because we're used to its hokkien name, 'ho jian'. Then, only we know that it's 'hou jin' in cantonese. Hehe.

They only served plain rice with chicken in a claypot. As for the soya sauce, it's up to you to add the amount you want. I liked it to be very dark colour, so I added a lot. To us, it was nothing special about it. Just overrated. My mom can make much better claypot chicken rice.

Day 2 destination: Hong Kong Ocean Park. Yay! Had been waiting to visit Ocean Park for a very long time. First time sitting on a double decker bus. Hehe. Glad that we went on Friday, not so crowded.

We rushed to see the panda and finally, I got to see the kungfu panda for real. It's my first time looking at a big fat cute panda! So relaxing.

Red panda. So cute!! Just like a dog. I wish I can bring it back home and play with the dogs. xD

This thing looked like a pokemon. Wonder how it feels if I touch it. Hehe.

Off to the rides! Haven't been riding on a roller coaster for so long, this mountain ride gave me a bit heart attack. Not warmed up yet. @@"

Then, all 3 of us went for the water log ride. Luckily not so wet. After that, it's dolphins and sea lions showtime! I've been waiting for this until neck long. The sea lions were sooo cute, especially when they were spinning/dancing with their trainers. Ahh!!

The dolphins were super smart and awesome. Love the show to the max! :D

Eagle ride. It's fun spinning on top with the wind blowing. Very cooling. Hehe.

Another roller coaster ride. It's got 3 loops. I was already warmed up for this. Thrill enough! My sis felt nauseous after the second loop. Luckily she didn't vomit. Aiks. They should build cockscrew roller coaster (360 degrees turning), I like that.

After the rides, we took a cable car down. Not used to taking cable cars. A bit scary to me. x.x

Panda information session. How can they be so ridiculously cute!? Really want to hug and 'gu jit' them. They can poop while they sleep. Haha.

At night, we waited for the lights. I was expecting a very beautiful pattern of lights shining on the buildings when the music starts. However, there's nothing much to see. Just some lasers coming off from some of the buildings.

Here comes my post on Hong Kong trip with dad and sis. Cathay Pacific airline is so full of chinese, I mean those chinese from China. On the aeroplane, there was one of them sat at our seat. When we arrived at our seats, that guy just moved away without saying sorry or feeling embarassed. Plus, the way they chit chat, it's like omg. No courtesy at all. Pengsan.

Also, I really disliked the steward kept speaking mandarin to us as if we were from China. Can't he speak cantonese to us? It's Hong Kong airline by the way! Yeeassshh...

We arrived at Hong Kong 3.5 hours later. First destination was The Peak.

We went up the hill by tram. A view from the tram.

The weather was so nice and cooling! However, my sis wore until like she's in Hokkaido. Haha. Winter in Hong Kong is just like autumn in Melboune. Can't remember the temperature for that day. 15 degree celcius I think.

The wantan mee in Hong Kong was so nice.

A view from on top of the hill. My sis's iPod touch went dead after taking 2 pictures. LOL. Frozen already.

Next, Madame Tussauds! First time going to a wax museum.

Some of them don't look real enough. Much younger than the real person.

The cute and funny Cecilia Cheung. xD

Barack Obama doesn't want to shake my hand. :(

William Shakespeare.

Ip Man or Donnie Yen. =D

After that, we went back to the city for dinner. Got to say Hong Kong sweet and sour pork is so not nice. Weird taste.

This was our first day. Need time to get used to the crowded surroundings. The people are so rush until they've got fast moving escalators. Always worried about tripping. @@"
