Hong Kong + Macau Day 4



12/4/2011


Hi all, it's day 4 in Hong Kong! 

Lets start the day with Hong Kong famous chain eatery outlet Tsui Wah Restaurant! (翠華餐廳)

The one i went to was the one near my hotel located at Tsim Sha Tsui.
They have many outlets across the whole of Hong Kong island, Kowloon, New Territories and even spread to Macau and Mainland China.




They are always full during meal hours. Do come 1/2 - 1 hour prior meal time, to avoid waiting and the crowds. 

Crispy bun served w sweet condensed milk 奶油豬
First on list. This is a must try in Tsui Wah. 
Although super sinful, the indulgence is definitely worth it. 


The bun is soft inside and crispy on the outside. 

Glazed with butter and sweet condensed milk. The irresistible taste of it makes you finished it instantly! :P
Fish balls rice noodle in fish soup 魚蛋河粉湯 +
Milk Tea 奶茶

To be frank, i really don't appreciate the milk tea. It's extremely BITTER. I tried adding in sugar, but it doesn't seems to help. 



The rice noodle soup was nice too. The fish balls were fresh and bouncy! The rice noodle absorbed in the sweet fish soup, however not turning soggy.

Estella ordered this. 

I tried the prawn. Juicy and fresh. Mixes well with the sweet and sour sauce. Tagging along was the crispy noodle.

After lunch, we started shopping around Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay... 

In the evening, we made our way to Central (中環) Station for the popular THE PEAK (香港山頂). 

After alighting at Central Station, exit J2... It's within walking distance to the Peak Tram Lower Terminus. 

Tickets for the peak tram + Sky pass + Madame Tussauds Museum are available at the Peak tram terminus. 




However, there are other ways to get to the peak other than peak tram. Eg. Bus, taxi. 
For more information can visit: http://www.thepeak.com.hk/en/2_1.asp


But i think riding in the peak tram on the steepest railway in the world, is the quickest  (7mins) and most memorable way to get to the Peak. 







While queuing up, waiting for the arrival of the Tram...






Finally the tram arrived...


We sat the wrong side of the tram. 
Estella and Me







Always remember to take the seat on the RIGHT hand side of the tram... Because most sceneries are on the right! If you took the wrong side like us, you will most probably be seeing trees and branches only! :'(

After the museum tour, it was time for our dinner....

Dinner at Hong Kong Day Cafe (香港地), just outside Madame Tussauds entrance.


Wanton soup, Stir fried rice noodle w sliced beef, Vegetables in Oyster Sauce & Stir Fried egg noodle.


 This showed how yummy the food were and how hungry we were! HAHA! 

After our fulfilling meal, we went up to the Sky Terrace 428.

It's standing at 428m above sea level, is the highest viewing platform in Hong Kong. 

It was chilling that night. Keep shivering cant even snap the camera well.
  






Even though nothing really spectacular, but still worth visiting at least once in your Hong Kong Trip.

Proceed on to Lan Kwai Fong, a place for nightlife. Alight at Central Station, Exit D2.
    
Lan Kwai Fong (蘭桂坊), a place to venture for night life. It has award winning restaurants, to bars and clubs. Indulged yourself for the night with music and drinks.

We left Lan Kwai Fong shortly after a virtual tour around. Returned back to our hotel area, for supper!
