Living it up in Hong Kong day 2

Capturing this memory I suddenly recall seeing a glimpse of it in my mind, and was wondering where have I seen it before. After much thought, I guess it must have been a postcard I saw when I was walking around Chinatown, Singapore.


Day 2 in Hong Kong we did less shopping and more sightseeing. And one of my favorite place to be was at Avenue of Stars, Hong Kong.

Is it just me or don't you think it's pretty awesome to have a place named "Avenue of Stars"? I think it's kinda cool..wonder do we have anything similar back in Singapore.


Needless to say, it has one of the most breathtaking views in the whole of Hong Kong. And with it being winter season in Hong Kong, you could just stand by the railing and admire the beauty of it all day long. At least now I know I don't have to travel all the way to Europe just to get inspiration, I can just visit Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong to get inspired.

And yes, that's my dearest mummy, who paid for this trip for me as my birthday present! Love you mummy and thank you for everything you have done for me and didi.




On our way to the ferry terminal, there were a few local art students sketching the London Tower.

I couldn't help but admire their hard work and determination. They were all sitting on the ground under the sun sketching on a friday afternoon. If it was me? I did rather just roll around in bed.


It's either my mum was being bias or trying to hook me up with a Hong Kong girl, but she only asked the girl who's sitting next to me for her facebook email address so that I could add her when I get the chance. Funny mum..real funny..


After a 7 minute ferry ride followed by what seems like forever (roughly about an hour) bus ride, we finally made it to The Peak, where the famous wax museum is.

First thought that came into my mind was. "MUST HAVE FOOD!" Ever since day one in Hong Kong, I have been eating a lot more then usual. So with that said, may I present you my lunch at The Peak.


Cream of Mushroom Soup. I love the texture of the soup, and it wasn't too creamy. And I love the sun and good lighting that afternoon. Hence the lovely picture.


And hello main course the Mince Beef Meat Sauce with egg yolk with rice cooked in some stone. I love it when the yolk is served in this manner.


After lunch was done, we were walking around the mall and I spotted this really cool wallpaper! At first sight, I actually thought that the apartments were really so close to the mall, but after I got a little closer I notice it was just a wallpaper. Gosh it look so real.

You really have to give it to Hong Kong for having so many stalls/shops so close to each other. You will never run out of options on to what buy or eat ever.

Spoiled for choices much?

This is another shot I love that was taken at Mong Kok, Hong Kong. And even though it's so dark, it's only 7pm when this was taken.






Oh and guess what you guys! There's VitaminWater in Hong Kong....


SOGO supermarket has VitaminWater! And they have the orange flavored one that I haven't tried yet too.


And to end off day two entry, I am going help fulfill my aunt's request to rant about how my she got fleece.

Seriously, fish ball soup for HK$58? And a bowl of rice for HK$15?!? LOL She kept complaining how that was the most expensive fish ball soup she ever had at normal street stall...HK$58 = S$9.80 and HK$15 = S$3

So was that a ripped off or what?!
