Hong Kong Travelogue 香港之旅

Finally I blog about my Hong Kong Travelogue 香港之旅. I will try my best to clear all of my pending travel posts such as Japan and Thailand travelogue. If you're following my Instagram or Facebook, then you should know this was my third visit to Hong Kong. Therefore, we (me and my family) are not going to visit those mainstream attractions. Instead, we had visited some of them and some of the local restaurant which nearby our hotel. This post is all about the things to do and what to eat during my 5D4N Hong Kong Trip. 

THINGS TO DO
Who say things to do must be an adventure? Why can't we free and easy? Since we are travelling in a group and family form, therefore, our things to do are quite flexible and free and easy.

• STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

It is works for any country! Whenever I'm travelling, for sure I will ask my sisters / mom to help me took some photos on the street. It is natural background and memorable. Especially when your background comes with signboards.

• HARBOUR CITY

Harbour City is a large shopping mall in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. It is part of a series of office blocks and hotels. It comprises several parts: Marco Polo Hotels, Ocean Terminal, Ocean Centre, the Gateway and the Pacific Club Kowloon.

It is great place for photography. It is great to take photos with the city buildings as background. Covered my sister's face because she said she was too shy to show her face on my social media platform.

This is the place that I took photos of my new hair makeover as well. If you click the image above to enlarge, you can see how beautiful violet hair that I've got.

Don't forget to stay until night time. The night city view is amazing. I would suggest you guys to come here before sunset. So you guys can take photos on day and night time. One place with two different backgrounds for the photos. Guess you guys will think worth it.

Address : 3-27 Canton Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.
Business hours : Daily (10am - 10pm)

• LINE STORE | LANGHAM PLACE

Any of you are fan of LINE? Since we visit Hong Kong during Christmas season, so everywhere is xmas decorations.

During our visit to Langham Place Shopping Centre, we spotted so many LINE Friends Christmas deco, so we took some photos with it.

You can visit their LINE store to selfie with the big bear as well.

• TIMES SQUARE | CAUSEWAY BAY 

If you're a fan of luxury brands, then this is place that you want to be! Sisters and parents bought something here but I bought nothing lol. Not really fancy with branded stuff so left with empty handed.

Address : 1 Matheson St, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
Business hours : Daily (10am - 10pm)

• DONGURI REPUBLIC | CAUSEWAY BAY

When we have a walk and passed this store with a big Totoro on the main entrance, I just want to take photo with him!

If you walk in the store, you can see there are so many totoro items. Feel free to buy them as souvenirs.

• NIGHT STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

How can you missed the beautiful and colourful signboard of the shops.

This is one of my random photo of them. You can find this kind of views everywhere on the street.

• 7-ELEVEN 

You got to visit convenient store at every country. All of them selling different variety of products due to country culture. I bought a box of mask and ice cream there. The little green man figure and phone case bought at other place (not at 7-eleven). Thus, the cashier gave us a lot of stickers. I got 20+ of them. Eventually we passed all the stickers to my old sister to redeem some toys for my niece.


WHAT TO EAT

Now, food to eat in Hong Kong. My father is not a fan of those popular restaurants because he don't want to queue for long time just for a meal. Therefore, here are some list of the cuisines that we had visited. Although some of them are famous as well.

• CHEE KEI 池记 | LANGHAM PLACE

This is one of the popular restaurant that you gonna try. The branch tat we had visited was in Langham Place.

Their signature wantan noodle is famous and delicious. We tried that last time and this round, we tried their set dinner.

It served with vegetables rice, fried pork chop, braised raddish, soya bean, and soup.

Surprisingly beside of their signature dish, the other food taste good as well.

• CURRY FISHBALL

How can you not try the popular curry fishball when you come to the curry fishball land. Lol

Once we had landed in Hong Kong, the first thing that we had eaten was curry fishball.

I was craving for this on the plane for so long! So happy when I got to put it in my mouth.

• KAM WAH CAFE 金华冰厅

Kam Wah Cafe is another famous cafe in Hong Kong!

Looking for the famous polo buns in HK? Then you should pay a visit here!

Beside of polo buns, their signature dishes include french toast, egg tart, fried noodle etc. I had ordered a french toast 西多士 and lemon coke 柠乐 for my lunch.

Address : 47 Bute St, Prince Edward, Hong Kong.
Business hours : Daily (6.30am - 110m)

• YUM CHA 饮茶 | LANGHAM PLACE

Yum cha meaning "drink tea" in Cantonese. It is a time-honoured Hong Kong ritual. Yum cha also popular with their dim sum. What I have here is their cutest salted egg custard buns. Don't you think they are adorable? When you teared apart the bun, the salted egg puree will come out. You can visit their shop at Langham Place.

• HUI LAU SHAN 许留山 

I know they have franchise in Malaysia, but trust me, the dessert taste differently. We always visit Hui Lau Shan when close to midnight. We had ordered different types of Chinese dessert (tong shui) and all of them taste not bad. Worth to visit. You can find many branches in Hong Kong.

• DIM SUM | SHEUNG WAN

When mom visit her friends in Sheung Wan, they bring us to a random dim sum cuisine (called it as random simply because I had forgotten the restaurant name) Lol.

Love all the dim sum there especially the rice dumpling and abalone siu mai.

Among all the dim sum that we had eaten. This rice dumpling is my favourite! Super delicious and I'm craving for it while blogging this. Lol

• FORBIDDEN DUCK 鸭大哥

The new peking duck restaurant opened by Alvin a michelin 3-stars chef from Bo Innovation. The food taste yummy and I love eat their bun (pau). Although the price range is slightly pricey. But it was totally worth the price.

Address : Hong Kong, Causeway Bay, Time Square1001B.
Business hours : Daily (11am - 11pm)

• MCDONALD'S

Always love to visit McDonald's in every country to try the different menu!

We tried the chocolate sundae with Kelloggs coco crispy rice. Yes, they had a collaboration and it was so yummy!

• HOKKAIDO DAIRY FARM 北海道牧场餐厅

Hokkaido Dairy Farm is a restaurant which feature milk from Hokkaido and served traditional Hong Kong breakfast such as macaroni in tomato base, instant noodle, sandwiches etc.

I tried their instant noodles with luncheon meat & sunshine egg, milk tea and macaroni in tomato base with sausage and omelette. It was simple but tasty.

Address : G/F 113, 111 Sai Yee St, Mong Kok, Hong Kong.

• NIJI BISTRO | TSIM SHA TSUI

Niji Bistro is a Japanese-Italian fusion cuisine. When daddy said he want to eat Italian food I straightly found this restaurant at Harbour City. We had tried the egg royale, big breakfast, spaghetti carbonara with bacon and poach egg, mushroom soup and many more. Their food are delicious and services are good! Strongly recommended to you all.

Address : 18 Canton Rd, Gateway Arcade, Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui.

• HONEYMOON DESSERT 满记

Yes, we are always craving for tong shui after dinner. I had visited Honeymoon Dessert shop which famous with their dessert. Tried my favourite 芒果西米露 Mango Sago Dessert and I love it! Love the fact that its taste was not too sweet at all.

• ALMA PORTUGUESE GRILL | HARBOUR CITY

The name of the restaurant say it all. Obviously their signature is the Portuguese tart. We had ordered some of them, Serradura, churros with ice cream and some mocktail. Everything just beautiful.

Address : 3-27號 Alma Portuguese Grill Shop OT310, 3/F, Ocean Terminal, Harbour City.

Business hours : 11.30am - 11pm

• JASMINE GARDEN 八月軒 | LANGHAM PLACE

Since our visit to Hong Kong is close to Winter Solstice festival, therefore, we had a winter solstice set dinner 冬至晚餐 for four at the other night. The set dinner include assortments of barbecued specialties (2 choices), braised bird's nest with bamboo pith and crabmeat, sauteed scallops, sliced geoduck clams with vegetables, braised whole fish maw, abalone sauce, steamed sabah garoupa, and last but not least, sesame dumpling with ginger soup. The sesame dumpling is so so delicious and warm! (because the weather is quite windy on that night). The dinner cost us about 4 figures so don't expect the meal is affordable.

• SWEET BASIL THAI CUISINE | HARBOUR CITY

The last night before we leave Hong Kong, we had Thai food as our dinner. Pay a visit to Sweet Basil Thai Cuisine which located at Harbour City. So far the food is fine but the mango sticky rice is very nice. Lol. 

That's all for my Hong Kong trip 2017. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any question to ask. I can't wait to share more details with you guys. Meanwhile, don't forget to watch all the Hong Kong related video and blog posts at the bottom. XOXO.
