Hong Kong - Day 6

final day in hong kong. 

we did not eat the hotel breakfast, because the price is ridiculously expensive at HKD268 per pax. 

our breakfast is bread and cakes and maggi mee and blueberries, that we bought the previous day at a supermarket. 

disney hollywood hotel provides shuttle service to the airport, at HKD50 per pax. 2 years old and below no need to pay. the journey is quite fast. we reach the airport in 15 min. 

our flight is at 350 pm and we reach the airport at 11 am. we were hoping that we can check in our luggage early so we can use the priority lounge. and yessss HKIA has the automated check in machine for SQ flights, and so we did all the check-in by ourselves and we are done in less than 5 min. really love this automated process. 

we did some more shopping of souvenirs. darling bought some pastries from 奇华. the queue was insane. when we cleared the immigration, there is also a 奇华 outlet, and the queue was insane as well. 

we went to the priority lounge, only to discover that it has upgraded to a more premium one, and you have to pay an additional HKD200 per pax if you want to use that lounge. the standard priority lounge is 10 metres away and when we reach the entrance, we were shocked by the long queue at the entrance, and there was already a crowd inside the lounge, getting their food. 

so i decided, go for the premium lounge, pay for the upgrade, because it has lesser people, more quiet, and we wanted yuanze to nap inside the lounge before we board the plane. 

and omg, we did not regret. the food inside the premium lounge is beyong AWESOME. 

firstly, you get a serving of this premium ham from iberico pork. 

and then we get to choose a main course from a menu. there were about 6 items in the menu, and both of us chose this Maine Lobster with Pasta. the waitress told us that it is a very popular item, and omg, how right she is. the pasta, drenched in lobster bisque sauce, was so so so so good. 

kids' meal for yuanze. mac n cheese, sweet potato fries and green peas. the mac and cheese like no need money. too much of it, and also a bit jelat. the sweet potato fries were good! 

other than the main course, you also get complimentary food items, for example fishball noodles, mexican wraps, salads, pastries. fruit juices are free flow as well, and they really blend the fruits into juice and serve it to you. 

they also gave us two free tumblers, so we can fill up the tumbler with the drink we want and bring them up to the plane. we used a tumbler to fill it up with warm milk for yuanze. 

thankfully yuanze did sleep inside the lounge, although it took quite some time for him to fall asleep. he slept for about 1.5 hour, and so he got very active on the plane, and also very bored, because the inflight entertainment is not enough to capture his attention for 4 hours of flight time. hahahaha. 

and then before we take off, the captain of the plane told us that we are stuck on the ground for about 25 min, because the air traffic is slightly congested. omg man. HKIA need to do something about this. 

so that's it for our hong kong trip!

i am thankful that i am able to travel with my parents again, after 9 years. 

i am thankful to explore sha tin and sai gung for the very first time. in the past it is always tsim sha tsui and mong kok. 

i am thankful that yuanze is totally ok on the plane. he is totally ok when the plane is taking off, and totally ok when the plane is going to land. 

i am thankful that darling also enjoyed the trip. looking forward to more trips together with you, and yuanze! 

the next destination will probably be japan, with my inlaws; or new zealand, with my parents and sisters! :)
