The last of Hong Kong 2013.

The last installment of my Hong Kong series.
Takes a while for me to get here!

But, i shall get this over and done with so that i can start on Tasmania series. I better pen them all down before i forget everything. HAHA.

To enjoy Hong Kong life, the easiest way is to head to Mong Kok. Alot of food and shopping to do! All your major brands are found there.

Right after my visit to the old hongkong cafe, head over to Mongkok for shopping! And obviously, i bought alot of nonsense back.

The best deal of the town comes from Argyle Centre. Their concept is similar to Bugis street.
Alight at Mongkok station, Exit D3 and you will see Argyle Centre (Mongkok Centre). The only pic i took w my buddy with our buddy coat. I sold my cream coat away and nv found the creamy shade again.What replaced with it is a khaki colour. tsk. i shall hunt again.

10% regret. LOL.

Whenever i go Hongkong, i always stop by for herbal jelly. Perhaps its because i never fail to end up with an even more heaty body overseas so i always seek herbal jelly as remedy. LOL. HAHAHA.

 Dinner over at Gwen's friend recommendation! Bet you nv tried this before. Its the local Zi char, where tourist dont get to visit unless you wanna risk getting your head chopped off.

There are so many dishes, i commented my CNY reunion dinner also don have so sumptuous lor. Oh Btw, this is on the last day of CNY, the 15th.

So its our CNY dinner anyway. HAHAHA. We got so full, its crazy. LOL. We ended up wasting alot of food, despite so many of us around. I told you this dinner is more kua zhang than the dinner you have at home.

Fish, prawns, crabs, sotong, chicken etc etc. Too full. Too full. Everything burnt from marathon goes to waste. LOL.

Head off to Lan Kwai Fang to celebrate Val's hens night. Which er, although we met with alot of obstacles in between, but we made it anyway. HAHAHAHA.

Must complete what we set out to do!

Nope, we didnt do anything crazy. Not that we have the energy after the race, but we are contented with just a simple girls night out. HAHAH. Just talk nonsense and enjoy company!

I am such a noob when it comes to alcoholic drinks, i actually did sth incredibly amusing.
My strawberry margarita has a layer of salt at the rim of the glass and i stupidly use the straw and scoop all the salt into the drink.

Only to realise, we are supposed to drink sip by sip with the salt around the rim. And not to dissolve the entire rim of salt into the drink straight away.
lol.. tsk. Things that #veroniscapableof.

After one night of slp, its time for breakfast. To a place i never been to. Its also the place i always go for my egg tarts.

The compulsory photo to take at every train station. If you have been to Hongkong, you will understand why. HAHA.
 photo P2257679_zps00533485.jpg

Its just a must thing. You will understand the reason behind it when you visit Hong Kong one day. Unless of course, you have taken them before alr.

If there is a long queue, there must be a reason behind it.

Egg pudding! The sinful-crazy-high-cholestrol pudding!!! But, i must eat. LOL.

Price list and menu. Basically, the menu is more or less the less throughout the day.

My ridiculously expensive and simple looking yet nice-until-veron-can-die breakfast is in front of me now. Too nice, its illegal. They added a secret ingredient in it; heroin.

Such breakfast consisting of just eggs, macaroni and bread accompanied with a cup for teh c set me back for $5 sgd. I will just wtf all the way for such sellers who wanna have high margin profits when the cost price is so low.

LOL. But, i really really like my breakfast. I fell in love and went straight to heaven. LOL. How can sth simple be so nice.

I am a fan of hot teh c. If you are a fan of teh c, you will understand and appreciate what a good cup of teh c means. I have spend money on really ridiculous teh c in Singapore before and they really makes my blood boil. Its not just abt the money spent, but i have to force myself to drink such atrocious teh c down. LOL. And such, when i come across really good teh c, i really count my blessings and enjoy my rare opportunity of happiness.
 photo P2257700_zpsc25d0d2b.jpgIn Hong kong, teh c is a piece of art. Everywhere i go, its nice.
In Singapore, everywhere i go. Its usually awful and painful to drink. Decent ones have to go toast box/ya kun. Those food court and coffee shop teh c are just cheating my money and feelings. LOL.

Sis like her teh c served cold. Equally nice though. But, i don drink cold drinks. Did i say my sugar cane goes without ice too? My colleagues find me amusing. LOL. I only drink warm water outside. Unless its orange juice or milk. HAHAHA.

And oh so sinful egg pudding. Even if you tell me the amt of egg yolks in it, i cant be bothered. My pudding is such a good dessert to have. Oh god. -bounce bounce bounce-
