Day 10 - 6th June 2012 - Hong Kong

We started off our 2nd day in Hong Kong to have Dim Sum breakfast. Winnie has this food guide with her and Luk Yu Tea House was highly recommended for Dim Sum. We tried to avoid the morning working crowd and reached the restuarant at abt 930am. This is located in Central Station (Stanley street) and it's actually 3-storey high. As we needed a eight seater table, we had to climb to the 3rd storey via stairs to get to our table. This place is has an authentic ambience for yum cha.. and very HK feel... the service is good too..


The boys asked to play phones while waiting for food
The Dim Sum house works on a push-cart concept so we had to wait for the right Dim Sum to come before we can start eating.

Some of the nicer ones..
Fish dumpling - really big ones

Ha Kao and Siew Mai

Crab filling ones
The breakfast was nice, but came with a hefty price-tag. Despite sharing the Dim Sum (but we ordered a wide variety), each family had to pay about SGD80 (so the whole bill comes about SGD160+).

After breakfast, we checked out the H&M store in Central (one of the neatest stacked ones) and ah lou got himself something while I stocked up my boys' t-shirts and pants.

We moved on to Causeway Bay from Central and regrouped for lunch after about 1 hour of free shopping. We ended up in Tsui Wah resturant again and the food didn't disappoint our stomachs. Brian's family ordered the curry chicken and turned out to be very nice.. actually their ice lemon tea is also very addictive..

Our mushroom and chicken fried noodles
The mummies went ahead to do our shopping when the men and boys headed back to the hotel to play and swim..

The Swim Hunks


After their swim, we went to Chi Ji 池記雲吞麵家 for our dinner. Chi Ji is located in Tsim Sha Tsui (near Haiphong road). We ordered 1 congee set and 1 wanton noodles set to share.. Their other speciality is crab porridge which we didn't order
The set meal allows you to customise the side dishes



The porridge is very smooth and  yummy

One of the nicest Wanton Mee we had so far
these fried chicken wings are good too
 After dinner, we moved on a dessert store nearby and ordered mango custard balls and mixed fruits mango pudding


mango pudding

The food in HK is so satisfying.. needless to say, the shopping never disappoint me. What a way to end this holiday (thankfully, we had a stopover in HK!)

Our loot from the 10 day trip (including the boys and ah lou's)

We spent the night packing up again for the afternoon flight departure (back to SG!)
