Hong Kong - Day 4

my mum requested to yum cha for breakfast. 

i came prepared! knew beforehand that there is a 稻香 near courtyard marriott hong kong. so off we go. 

walked to shek mun station, then take MTR to che kung temple station, and walked for about 10 min to 稻香. 

yessss here we are! thanks to google maps! we walked past a river, walked under flyovers (which i have always wanted to after seeing all the hong kong dramas) and here we are. darling commented that the invention of google map is the jinx of all travel agencies, and i fully agree. google map is just so amazing. 

luckily we went on a weekday. we reach there at about 9 am. got a table immediately. the restaurant was crowded, especially with the elderly. the vibes here is similar to the branch at tsim sha tsui. glad to be able to bring my parents to an old sch dim sum place in hong kong, which they had never been to before. the food is still good, and also affordable, just that there are lesser items on the menu. 

after 稻香 we went back to our hotel to pack our stuff. papa and mama will be going to the airport to take the plane back to singapore. the three of us will be going to holiday inn golden mile to check in, and also do all our shopping at tsim sha tsui. we never shop at all for the past 3 days and today is meant to be our shopping day. 

so for the remaining of day 4 in tsim sha tsui, i will do it in point form:

- got a room upgrade at holiday inn 
- had lunch at ichiran. yes ichiran! it is only 3 min walk away from holiday inn. we waited in the queue for about 10 min before being seated in the restaurant. 
- bought atas cookies at this cookie shop in the K11 shopping mall basement (tried something else because jenny bakery is overhyped)
- shopped at isquare, and our favourite shop is Log-On, that sells very nice stuff
- bought 2 slices of Lady M crepe cakes, charcoal flavour and rose flavour, cost HKD75 per slice, which is about SGD12. so expensive!! is singapore one also that expensive?!
- check out the christmas lighting around tsim sha tsui. so pretty!! 




we also concluded that, tsim sha tsui is not as cold as sha tin. probably because tsim sha tsui is full of people and buildings and car vehicles and exhaust smoke, that make the temperature warmer. 

that's it for day 4. 

tomorrow we are going to disneyland!!
