That's It (HK Finale).

Traveled to Sam Sui Po to have one of the better curry fish balls. Approved by our resident curry fish ball consumer, Miss Cherrie Chan, who had tried a few around (HK) before


Us having the balls at the lorong beside the shop (notice balls on table in thick satay + curry sauce). Pretty spicy stuff as illustrated by Jacklyn and Brandon


Hui Lau Shan, taken earlier in the morning when the shop has yet to open, serves some of the best mango based desserts I have ever tasted in my life (so far). And guess what, it's just located across the street from our hotel


Irresistible. This is the Dunno what Mango with Extra Mango and Mango pudding plus Mango Ice Cream Nom Nom Nom. Why KL takde one?


Us at Lui Yan Kai doing some last minute shopping (and souvenir shopping as well) before making our way to the airport which made me realize that my (and Jacklyn's) Octopus card did not have enough credit


And thus, ends my series of Hong Kong trip posts which spanned like forever due to unwillingness to edit all the photos at once. It was indeed a really awesome and should remain at the top of my most memorable trip list for a long, long time, thanks Pete! At current time, still slowly recovering from the financial damage done for this trip over there and at the same time, thinking of planning for the next one *smiles*

One Dim Sum Meal.

Just us being ourselves. I'm the one in jeans because it took up more luggage space which I'm lacking thanks to her hence I had to wear it sigh


Taken during our final ferry ride to Central


Settled for dim sum in Luk Yu Tea House because Tsui Wah was under renovation sigh. In Chinese, we often refer to such occasion as "Mou Hau Fook". Not sure how to translate it, loosely meaning not fortunate enough to try something (normally tied to food items). Notice the old school menu on the table?


Random decorations on the wall, this tea house dates back to the 1930s when you and I and even our parents have yet to set foot onto this world. Most of the stuff in the restaurant might just be "older" than yourself. We were seated in a room - I suspect Pete might have some "connections" with the restaurant personals that enables us this privilege


Dim Sums that will cost a few bombs, don't say you've never been warned

Last Day in HK.

On our way back to the hotel, Jacklyn still reeling in happiness from the Disneyland trip. Dinner with Pete and Debbie. Nothing's better than a bowl of steaming hot soup to kick start your appetite after a long and tiring day


Best of the best, assorted roasted meat consisting of roasted chicken, roasted pork, BBQ roasted pork and roasted duck


A photo with Pete and Debbie, we miss both of you very much


MIDO cafe from the outside and the bunch of us outside our rooms waiting for the lift, its our final day in Hong Kong already, so sad


Enjoying the view whilst sipping on the free drink in the hotel's cafe/restaurant

Disneyland 8: Fireworks!

The fireworks display starts around 8pm (2000 hours) and must not be missed no matter what. It made the trip to Disneyland worthwhile and almost magical (must be all those songs)


Its so pretty that at times, I would be totally fascinated and forgot to take photos, again, must be all those songs that accompanied the display






The fireworks display lasted much, much longer than initially anticipated


This is how a flash bang (a hand grenade that detonates with a flash of extremely bright light) would probably look like


Just for fun, because PhotoScape made it so easy. And I am finally done with the Disneyland trip which lasted for 8 posts, lols!

Disneyland 7!

Almost suffered a heart attack on the mini roller-coaster like space travel thingy ride which was indoor in Tomorrowland. Nauseating would actually be a more proper representation of the ride. The interactive cineplex featuring Stitch was pretty entertaining because jokes in Canto always are/never fails.


The carousel during night time, pretty dark and gloomy if you ask me. I have always imagined it to be really bright, absolutely beautiful and almost enchanting since this is Disneyland so, it was a pretty sad sight for me


The row of 'luring' shops during night time


The castle, while awaiting for the fireworks to start. This was taken when we just exited and the preparations was just starting hence the distance. I'm still working hard filtering the hundreds of firework photos at the moment because most of them looks absolutely horrible
