More HK pics before Semester starts on 29th Jan..
Admiralty
Steamboat at "Da Jia Le"(Dai ga lok in cantonese) a common foodcourt style eatery in HK. It is like our "Kopitiam" and other foodcourts in Singapore. Just that the difference here is u get MUCH MORE variety and the ordering system is different. Here, you order and make payment at the ordering counter. After recieving ur receipt, u proceed to the respective food stalls to get your food. In my opinion, this is so much more efficient, waiting time is almost zero. Even at peak hours the queue moves fast.
The School canteens(i wouldnt call it canteen coz its so much better than NUS school canteen) in HKU uses the same system too. Best of all, they dun compromise on the quality of food. The meal changes according to breakfast, lunch and dinner. The steamboat that i ate was very cheap and delicious! No kidding. 2 persons can share and it cost around $5/pax and it is nice. $10 for marina steamboat buffet? I dun tink so... (Im serously thinking how i can survive on food when i get back.. hmmm)
Just some night shots taken before making our way to Wan Chai for some waiting, i mean, for the girls to do some shopping =X
You can see the building with the triangle lights, that is the Bank of China. The lights are not static, they move!! In fact many buildings and towers in HK have similar lights. You can see it on my blog skin, the view streches much further actually with all the colourful buildings from Central to Causeway bay. It is really a sight to behold. I hope 2010 Singapore will have a view much more magnificant than this. Tough? Possible?
Wan Chai
Some night shots of Wan Chai and a self taken shot of myself. Yea, saves u all from puking, take less shots of me =(
Coats. Liying finally get to buy a coat from this shop by the road side. HKD$130, SGD$26. Considered cheap in SG but normal in HK. Cheaper places sells it for less than HKD$100...
Causeway Bay
Times Square in HK. The heart of Causeway Bay. Its crowded everywhere! See the red signboard in the center of the pic? It is the most visited dessert shop in HK and its called "Xu Liu Shan". Why is it so popular? Read on!
A picture speaks a thousand words. Thats 4 thousand words why it is so popular.
Heres 1 thousand words of proof.
Everyone leaves smiling! They specialize in Mango desserts. But their variety doesnt stop here. They have all kinds of fruits, glutinous rice, nata de coco and even disserts with bird's nest! Its a must try if you guys come to HK! Price isnt cheap though, Average SGD$4-$5. But its worth the money!
