Korea & Hong Kong vacation Dec 06 – Part 8

Hong Kong – Day 8, 30 December 2006

Because we missed the night shopping yesterday evening, I better make better use of the rest of the hours before the transfer pick us up at 1pm to go to the airport.

We left the room at 9am and went back to Tsim Sha Tsui for breakfast. I told Alvin I wanted to go ‘Tang Chao’ (sweet dynasty) for breakfast as I want to have their famous soya beancurd. He went into the wrong restaurant and we had no choice but to eat something first. Then we went to ‘Tang Chao’ which is 2 doors away and wanted to continued our breakfast and definitely the beancurd ! It was very crowded and we put in our order. However, it never came and 30 minutes had passed. To my dismayed, many orders including ours were not entered into the computer and thus not sent to the kitchen to prepare. Meanwhile, a senior staff then keyed in the stack of orders. Alvin went to collect his jacket that we promised to go back and take the day before and I continued to wait. I chased and chased again and finally the dim sum was served, no beancurd. I gave another 5 more minutes, still no beancurd. By then, I was fed up already as I got no more time for shopping ! We cancelled our order and left VERY UNHAPPY.

We shopped along Granville Road and I got myself 3 skirts on sale, a pair of Bermudas. Alvin got himself 2 short-sleeved Nautica shirts at a bargain. I got some more stuffs at Giordano and became a member when I spent HK$500 (approx. S$100) which benefits can be utilised in Singapore. While Alvin went to get a roast goose for a friend who is coming to airport to fetch us, I returned to pack in our shopping. My luggage nearly burst with all my squeezing.

The transfer was late and only pick us up at 1.20pm and go on to pick up others despite the traffic jam in the city. We only reached the airport at 2.40pm and rushed to check in. We had a quick lunch as we had to go find ‘Wing Wah’ to buy egg rolls. Alvin keep hassle me to find the shop that I missed catching a glimpse of Karen Mok ! So saying…but I since her back view and apparently, she is not very tall that I expect her to be but she definitely have a good figure. We bought a total of 10 boxes of ‘Wing Wah’ which was never us but we wanted our friends and family to try the egg rolls as it is indeed very nice.

Pollution was indeed bad in HKG. Can you imagine that a plane in front of us that just taken off 30 seconds ago was nowhere to be seen. It ‘disappeared’ into the fog ! So scary….

Although the stay in HKG is short, however, we enjoyed best for the entire holiday. Probably because of the shopping and food that plays a big part in our holiday experience.

Finally, it’s home sweet home…… but I have a whole loadful of laundry to do…..

Shit……………….
