6D5N @ Hong Kong (19th - 24th January 2018): Day 5 & 6

Day 1 & 2 - HERE
Day 3 & 4 - HERE
Down to the last part of our HK 2018 trip!







Breakfast @ Macs!



They should totally have this Scrambled Egg and Ham (luncheon meat) breakfast burger in SG:



Took Bus 9 towards Shek O and we started our trail up Dragon's Back! It was one of the simpler must-go hikes when in HK because everyone said the view was breathtaking:







Approaching the halfway point:







The wind was so strong I don't know how people even dared to sit so close to the edge ohmyyyy:





And we have reached the peak, 284m above!



The wind was even stronger up here hahaha but apparently the cold didn't bother my brother at all:





We decided to keep going on towards the Big Wave Bay which would take us another hour.





The route wasn't exactly the smoothest - quite far off from the Dragon's Back trail. This was probably one of the flattest terrains already:



Also, we didn't see/hear anyone for most of the first half of the journey we got pretty apprehensive but we just kept walking. We didn't even know if we were heading in the right direction because there wasn't any indication. We only saw trees and rocks and water streams haha.



NO REGRETSSSS. It was beautiful and quiet:











Getting out of the place was a problem. We didn't want to spend another 2+ hours walking back where we came from, and we couldn't get a Grab to fetch us out either. We met another family who were also having the same trouble but we managed to board a shuttle van after getting some directions from the locals.

Took the ferry to Cheung Chau Island after that even though we were pretty exhausted already:















It was so cold but I wanted a shot of this frozen watermelon, so we bought it just for the sake of it. I don't eat watermelons at all so my brother had the honour of eating it in the cold hahaha his teeth were freezing after awhile:





Dinner @ U Can Cook. Decided on something Western for the night!













Ferried back to the mainland, and I met up with Bernice @ Ophelia! We knew each other on Instagram a couple of years back, met up when she came over to SG and then now in HK:














I'm finally done with my Hong Kong posts after so long!! You can watch the full trip in the video below :)

Day 3
The first agenda of the day was to try the famous polo butter bun (also known as 'pineapple bun' due to the outer texture resemblance) from Kam Wah Cafe Bakery / 金華冰廳!





And yessss it did not disappoint! The bo lo yau that we had was very crusty and crispy, with the inside soft, fluffy and fragrant:









Something I forgot to mention about dining in HK's cha chan teng is everything needs to be ULTRA fast-paced: from getting to your table (most likely you'd need to squeeze with a few others in the same table), to the ordering (you reaaally need to know what you want in a couple of seconds), to them serving you your food, to you finishing your food. If not, get ready for impatient and sometimes, rude, staff attending to you :)


Walked over to Langham Place for some window-shopping:



Went into this strange-looking shop called DokiDoki and guess what we found???



Felix the Cats!! We would have bought everything if not for the lack of money :(
We got the porcelain mug + all the plastic cups + a fridge magnet Felix and they already totalled to about S$200?? The porcelain figurine was so tempting:



Movie time because it was cheap:







Coincidentally we sat next to a follower of mine who DM-ed me after the movie ended. Heheh hi again!! Of all places and shows (we caught a Cantonese action-comedy).

Crossed over to Tsui Wah Restaurant for the Condensed Milk bread recommended by Ryan:





What's better than 2 eggs in the same dish? 3!!



Watermelon!!



I didn't buy it.



Oddies Foodies next!





Ended the night with dinner @ Congee King / 靠得住, that was just around the corner from our hotel:



Not a porridge person, but there was something about their porridge that made me love it a lot:






Day 4
Morning shots on our hotel's garden. Not much of a view to look at because all the buildings were so close to each other.





Breakfast @ Kam Fung Bakery / 金鳳茶餐廳! The owners were really nice (so different from those we have experienced at other cha chan tengs) they even initiated a conversation with us. The guy told us he has visited SG before too.















Were told that HK egg tarts are a must-try so we did. Not sure if this was THE place to try the best egg tarts, but they weren't too bad! The custard was smooth and rich:



Emack & Bolio's for instagrammable ice-cream haha:





Ice-cream in da colddddddd:



At Ladies' Market for some souvenir shopping:





Printed this tee for our father:



And I bought this watermelon crossbody for myself! Hehe:





Desserts @ The Sweet Dynasty:







On board the Ding Ding! to Kennedy Town. There was a direct MTR line that could take us there but we wanted to experience the tram. However we weren't expecting it to take such a long time - it stops at every single stop and because every stop is so close to each other, the tram can only move at a moderate speed:











So after more than an hour, we finally arrived hahaha.

It was a really chill place with hardly anyone... a vast difference from the city center:









Dinner @ Fish & Chicks because we missed Western food lol:
