SC Times: Hong Kong

I went to Hong Kong with my sis and my 2 nieces, Ade and Evelyn from 18th March - 22nd March. We took the 9am flight from KLIA on Cathay Pacific and we will be staying in Hotel Kowloon in Tsim Sha Tsui area.

I saw Mr. Magorium's Emporium on the flight to Hong Kong, and watch Beowulf on the flight back to KLIA. As for the food on Cathay Pacific, seems that the fish fillet rice was terrible, because the fish had a very strong "fishy" taste. However, my omelette and hash browns were quite nice. I gave the Kit Kat and Yogurt to Ade and Evelyn. On the flight back, they also gave us Nestle ice cream. Yummy.

This is the plane we flew on. Upon arrival in Hong Kong, we can see that the sky was not very clear but the weather was cool. The Hong Kong airport was huge, with shops everywhere. Even their shuttle train were longer than the one in KLIA.

At the airport, we went looking for the agent and for the shuttle bus to take us to our hotel.

Upon arrival at our hotel, we went to check in. The hotel lobby is quite nice, and it is just next door to the Seibu departmental store. We booked two rooms since there were four of us.

The hotel rooms were small (the norm in Hong Kong) but quite nice and clean. It even had a small LCD TV (to save space). When we turned on the TV, there was a greeting to welcome us to their hotel. Talk about maximizing the use of technology !

After a while, we decided to go out and have a walk around, to try and recognize some landmarks. We saw a McDonalds nearby our hotel and immediately felt a bit hungry, so we wandered in to have some food. Sis was hankering for her porky bun. Hehehe....

The McDonalds in Hong Kong are much nicer and had a lot more selections. They have cakes, sandwiches and salads aside from the normal fare. They even have capuccino and lattes.

We ordered a lobster soup, and a Ham & Cheese set. The lobster soup was okay but a tad salty. The Ham & Cheese burger was delicious !

After the meal, we then made our way to the Avenue of Stars. Instead of going the short way, we took the long way there since we were still unfamiliar with the roads and directions. Finally we reach the harbour and saw the Hong Kong skyline, but as you can see, it still looks blurry.

There were also displays of Bei Bei, Jing Jing, Huan Huan, Ying Ying and Ni Ni around the area.

We continued along the Avenue Of Stars and took some photos with the various items and props. Hehehe...

We walked around the area and took some photos of the night view of the Hong Kong skyline.

At 8pm, we managed to get some seats to watch the Symphony of Lights show, where the lights on the buildings across the harbour changes according to the music played. Very nice and indeed spectacular.

After the show, we went in search of a place for dinner. In one of the departmental stores, they had 2 very nice antique cars on display.

Finally we decided to have dinner at UCC Cafe since it was Evelyn's birthday. The food was quite nice.

After dinner, we decided to go to the recommended Sweet Dynasty for desserts and supper. It was located at 100 Canton Road. We ordered some porridge and also their walnut soup, tau foo fa, mixed fruits sago and honeymelon sago. Everything was tasty and their porridge was so smooth and nice.
