mr leow is starting to miss hk already and look at the buildings outside our hotel room, emo-ing in the process.
so we must spend our last few hours wisely in hong kong. of course, where else can we go to. no prizes for guessing the answer correctly.

yes, this is Tin Hau Temple.
see those spiral thingy on top? these are for ping2 an1.
the red one cost 160 hk dollars. the yellow one cost 130 hk dollars. i wanted to buy the yellow one, but the uncle ask me whether want to buy the red one. wat's the difference man? isit u buy the red one, u get blessed for 16 years. buy the yellow one, get blessed for 13 years? anyway i think these ping2 an1 thingy is a very good way to make money for the temple.
so in the end i bought the red one.
first, they give you a red piece of paper. then u write who you want to bless on the paper. i wrote my name + my family, and darling's name + her family.
next, they hang the red paper inside the spiral cage, and then ask u to light it up.
then when the thing starts to burn, they hang it on top. and then they ask u to hit a drum 3 times, and hit a gong 3 times. while hitting, they chant scriptures and other stuff in cantonese.
this is how i spent my 160 hk dollars, to bless my family and darling's family.
after praying we went to walk around.
we walked pass a chicken rice shop, mr leow have a craving for hk style chicken rice, and in we went.
when we get seated, the waiter gave us 3 cups of tea. (the scene sound familiar rite)
and this time, i wun get fooled anymore. haha.
our chicken rice:
rice not as tasty as the sg version. dun have our sg style chilli. but the sauce they give is quite nice also. sweet, sour, with a tinge of spicyness. meat is tender and juicy. :)
after eating, we quickly headed back to our hotel, check out, and make our way to the ferry terminal.
good bye hk, hello macau!
