that trip i crashed with yl. she had to be in hong kong for a work trip for 2 weeks and... who minds free lodging right? heh... its mandarin oriental afterall... its an invitation hard to resist :P
i really love the bathroom... i want a rain-shower in my home too!
hong kong is about shopping eating shopping eating... and shopping eating! heh... i was lucky to have my hk classmate to take us out for a night and he took us to this amazing dessert place at causeway bay. i had their yang zhi gan lu (mango with pomelo) and it was probably the best i've ever had! generous serving of mango and pomelo, the sauce (soup?) was thick but not overwhelming and not too sweet! yl and i went back the next night to have it again... hurhur
(i got this pic from someone's review of the place)
another food that left a deep impression on me was the gong cha bubble tea. at that time i havent tried koi in singapore. so to taste the authentic milk tea was a pleasant surprise! i gobbled one biggggg cup on my own... and of cos, i had another big cup the next day :P
singapore has this brand of bubble tea too... they have one at city square mall and another at novena square 2!
there were alot of westernised fast food version of "cha can ting" in hk... i guess that's the result of a very fast paced city!
a typical cha can ting brekky... *yum* and cheap!
because yl had to work during the day, i went sightseeing alone... i found stanley from the web and since its only a 30 min bus ride away from the hotel, i decided to check it out. i realised "traveling" alone can be quite therapeutic. i walked down the breezy beach and even sat there for a good 20 min watching the sea and just... relaxing... i was good :) there's also a street market at stanley, selling a lot of artwork and calligraphy souveneirs...
view of stanley beach...
while waiting for yl to finish work, i had lunch at her work building. i think it was the ifc. its a fancy-mansy mall with loads of shops selling branded items... i was very big from what i recall... the food there also very expensive! i was craving for dim sum and porridge and thank goodness there was an affordable restaurant on the 4th level and these were what i ordered. they were absolutely yummy!
century egg and pork porridge and chives dumpling - porridge was super duper smooth with relatively generous serve of century eggs (actually ratio was perfect!) chives dumpling's skin was thin and of cos, loads of chives :)
of cos i had to end the post with all my shopping!
