When in other Asean countries we just love that authentic Chinese food! All of them! So it was Chinese food all the way for use the whole time...


Yep, finally got that "washing" ritual down to a science...






Tea is the order of the day.

Here's a tip: very rarely do restaurants offer table napkins freely (or randomly), so when in HK it is always best to bring your own tissues/napkins.

When it's February we love going to Hong Kong. Weather is just right, cold. Fave place is Tung Chung of course. Fave spot to do "the pose" is here:


Very day we got there we woke up to a cold and chilly 10c degree morning. Of course that suited us just fine!
This year, we decided we'd explore the train stops which we usually take for granted. Like Tseun Wan...



Met up with good friend, Gina, a resident. It's always the best to have a local to guide you. Saves you the time of getting lost...


Braving the Saturday shoppers/crowd.


Yep, same scenario as last year. They take care of the map reading, I take care of the photography.


You would rarely see my have my photo taken in front of any expensive boutique (don't get me wrong now, if given the budget and style, I'd go into those boutiques and buy!). Except when the mannequin is upside down...


What else is there to do when it's cold? Eat ice cream!!!





Before we went our separate ways we did our downtime at Ocean Terminal. The view from Gina's fave Starbucks, looking out to the harbour...


View is just too beautiful...


The 1881 Heritage. Last year they had the bunnies, remember?


Chinese lunch with my cousin, Ethel, another Hong Kong resident who lives in Tung Chung.






My favorite station, Central




Sunday at Causeway Bay







Back at Tung Chung having dinner at Food Republic at the Citygate. We always sit by the window to get this view. Makes sipping the noodle soup even more pleasant.


It's Ocean Park day. Havent been back to the place since 1995. Wow! This is my place every morning, a mirror by the window. Today I decided to put on ice blue eyeliner. Just for kicks. Ahihi...


You just need to get to Central Station (MTR) and look for Exit B. It's actually no brainer.


And if you see this sign, go get your tickets pronto! Believe me, they don't give discounts at the park.




Very long line, but it moved fast. One of the many many things we love about Hong Kong.



So the Ocean Park adventure begins for the grown ups!!!



The Grand Aquarium. It's a must.



You can go up and down from one ride to another via escalators.


The whole place is just so awesome!




This is how thick that big aquarium glass is...




Last stop, the souvenir shop. The kids will flip over these cute little stuff...
