No Longer Macao Trip Part 4

Ok this is the last post of my Macao trip, which takes forever to publish!

Say hi to Hong Kong!! 

We spent a good two days roaming around Kowloon and Chin Tsa Chui area in Hong Kong, travelling back and forth by ferry from Macau (takes around 45 minutes per trip). 

The Victoria Harbour was very beautiful. We have a good walk at Avenue of Stars along the pier, where you can find all the famous celebrity hand prints and statues, like the late Bruce Lee. His statue were 2.5m high and made of copper! The Avenue of Stars was modelled on Hollywood Walk of Fame, which honours the celebrities of Hong Kong Film industry. Well, Hong Kong is THE place where the globalization of Chinese entertainment industry started, especially the Cantonese kungfu movies. The actors and actress definitely deserve all the credit. 

Oh, we saw the famous Hong Kong's United Buddy Bears at the pier too! 

Meet Loah, Peter's gaming buddy. He is super nice and super friendly. Funny thing was he just came back from Australia after studies, so he is pretty much foreign to Hong Kong's tourist sites, and we end up  exploring the tourist spots together. He brought us to Mongkok where all the tourist shopping streets located, and the streets are EXTREMELY busy and packed.

They were alot of street food, but we didn't try much as we were saving our stomach for the dim sum. 

Here comes our LONG AWAITED HONG KONG DIM SUM BUFFET at xiao fei yang. I have totally forgotten how much per person cost, basically its made per order but you can order as much as you can eat! The taste of the dim sum is slightly different than the Malaysian's version. We always have varieties of pork or prawn filling in Malaysian's version of dim sum, hence it tasted pretty much the same after a few plates. However the original ones in Hong Kong comes in so much of varieties, they have dim sum with fillings such as vege and nuts only, beef intestines, and even "yao zha guai" wrapped in the dim sum skin.  

YUM YUM!

According to Loah, dim sum is usually for older generation, whereby they have all the time in world to just relax and eat. Whilst for youngsters and walking class, usually they will just go into a Chinese restaurant, da bao something like sandwich, then start to eat while walking off. That's sort of confirm our perception towards the Hongkies whereby the working class literally have no life. ;(

 

During our second trip to Hong Kong, we have tried the local Cha Chaan Teng (morning tea restaurant) named Australian Dairy Co.. I'm really not sure what does Australian has to do with the restaurant cuz its very Chinese to me. It was an eye opener experience because the restaurant was super hectic and busy. The crowds were crazy but the food was super good. People were basically lining up beside your table waiting for you to go off, and I keep seeing people stand up from their seat and another came sit down, or came in and out of the restaurant. We ordered the usual set of the breakfast which includes fresh/ cold milk, macaroni with ham, toast bread with sunny side up or scramble egg. And gosh the scramble egg was SUPER good. I have never known in my whole life that scramble egg can taste like that. 

Most of the places sell the Kowloon Dairy's cold pasteurised milk in glass bottles, and it was very refreshing. I have tried the chocolate version and it was equally good. 

We have also tried the local "Kim Gary" or "Causeway Bay" type of Cha Chaan Teng which looks a bit more high class. We tried their famous crispy bun served with sweet condensed milk (don't know why its called nai you "ZHU" in Chinese, it has nothing to do with pig!), polo bun and their Portuguese pork curry. It was pretty satisfying as well.

Well, that sums up our 4 days Macao (extended to Hong Kong) Trip, overall it was good but seriously, no countries can beat Taiwan k, which remained to be our favourite country to travel to. We have yet to have the chance to explore Hong Kong to the fullest, but I have to say that shopping wise, they have the best to offer. I hope H&M will open up in Malaysia real soon. 

Till then, ciao.
