met my colleagues and we went for yum cha at one of hk's authentic yum cha restaurants. and we realised all are retirees, our table consists of the youngest customers in the whole restaurant. some of their dim sum items are quite special, nv found in singapore. :)
had a very long and nice chat with my colleagues. i really love my colleagues. very nice to talk to, can talk about everything under the sun. learnt alot of stuff from them too, be it handling students, preparing lessons, and politics.
after yum cha i went to check out their hotel rooms. very nice! i think its bigger and nicer than the rooms at mongkok metropark.
the next location we are heading to is the big buddha at lantau island! to go there, we took mtr to tung chung station, and then took a cable car ride to the big buddha.
the big buddha is located on top of a long flight of stairs.
lantau island is a very tranquil place with very nature walks. as we walk, we ventured into this wonderful place:
dunno wat's this place called, but it got many pillars, with buddhist scriptures carved on them. this place is really very very nice. just being in it gives us a feeling of peace and tranquility.
we had their local tau hway, which taste very smooth and delicious. the different thing about this tau hway is that they dun put sugar syrup, instead they put brown sugar powder. quite special.
and then we left the big buddha, and took the cable car ride down to tung chung. there is a big shopping centre at tsuen wan called citygate. this shopping centre got all the famous brands factory outlets, and the prices of the products are warehouse prices, damn cheap! got adidas, nike, puma, new balance, quiksilver, timberland, many many more.
shop until damn shuang, and i also met agnes, my jc friend cum alumni dancer in nus chi dance. wat a small world. bought clothes for myself from adidas, and bought a jacket and sports bra from nike for darling.
had lunch at macdonald! my wish is to go to different macdonald outlets in the world and try out their burgers. haha. hk's macdonald got two burgers that singapore dun have, which is the grilled chicken burger, and the ebi burger.
grilled chicken burger
ebi burger
went back to the hotel and rest for a while, before going for dinner with hongsen's relatives. hongsen has two groups of relatives, one group in hk, and the other group in macau. so we met up with the hk group, and they brought us to this nice chinese restaurant. the food they ordered for us is damn nice, but the dish that leaves me the deepest impression is the roast goose. damn shiok damn delicious. heck care they got bird flu. haha. just eat.
ok basically that's all for day 2.
day 3 will be a super happening day. :)
