Hong Kong

I just thought I'll write about my trip to Hong Kong and Macau with my friends last week from the 1st to 7th July.

I was afraid that I'll lose my muscle mass again considering that I stopped my workout the previous week before my trip and then another for my holiday.

Our flight landed in HongKong(HK) and we made our way by ferry over to Macau for a 2 night stay.

The view from our Macau hotel room.

Beef Brisket Noodles, dinner on our first night at Macau.

Ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral, did some sightseeing.

Street stall, Pork Porridge. Had to try the street food to truely have the Macau experience.

Portugese Egg Tarts at Margaret's Cafe in Macau, piping hot and super yummy. 

 The Venetian, hotel/shopping mall/casino


After the 2 days in Macau we then made our way back to Hong Kong.

Our Hotel in Hong Kong

View from our hotel room.

Hong Kong! - Avenue of Stars, the first 'tourist' destination we visited.
 Famous Bruce Lee statue.

Temple Street - Night Market, where things are cheap and everything is for bargaining.

Ocean Park - The Dragon(Roller Coaster)
 To be honest it was my first time taking a roller coaster that went upside down. :x

Mak's Noodles, highly recommended. (the branch at Victoria's Peak)

Dessert at Tsui Wah. Please eat at Tsui Wah(it's a restaurant/cafe) if you're in Hong Kong, they've got a few branches.

See the rounded toast? that's drizzled with condensed milk and the square one with condensed milk and peanut butter. It's like taking a bite out of heaven :).

Sunset at Victoria's Peak

Dim Sum, the Char Siew Baos(pork buns) are to die for. Queued almost 1 and a half hours for this! 

7-Up with plum and lemon and Ribena with lemon

Milk Tea and Yuen Yang(coffee w tea)
These two with the two drinks above are a really good, must try. :)

Loot from shopping in Hong Kong :D

I really enjoyed my week at both Macau and Hong Kong, kinda miss the food there. Shopping wise there's nothing much in Macau and Hong Kong is almost comparable to Singapore in terms of prices and some of the men's style in HK is quite different from Singapore's.
Commendable transport system in Hong Kong, moving around was pretty easy and fast.
These are just some of the things that I did while on holiday, didn't really cover every sight, sound and taste. Hopefully it'll still be able to interest you to visit Hong Kong too!
(think I spent about 1,400SGD for the entire trip of 7 days)


Now that I'm back, it's going to be an all out effort to work towards the fitness goals I've set out for myself this year. Can't wait to see what the rest of 2012 has in store for me :)

Till the next post!
