Day 2 - HongKong Extravaganza 2008

Day 2 – 19 July 2008

Rose and shine for our factory outlets shopping day.

Had dim sum breakfast at this hotel near mongkok 旺角station. Okay la. Wasn’t fantastic. Maybe we were not in the dim sum mood. No mood = No pictures too. Haha. The chilli in HK is weird...taste super salty and not spicy at all. Dun like it.

Proceeded to Tung Chung Station 东涌 Citygate Factory Outlets. Shopped for a good 2-3 hours and we got some good buys from there. Mainly bought stuff for people la.

Proceeded to Wan Chai 湾仔 to scout for mochi’s recommendation. Haha.. this time round, the café was much easier to wan2 dou2 (Cantonese! My Cantonese is superb now!!). The food in this place not that great. They are known for their coffee anyway which we didn’t order. So.. no pics here.

Returned to our hotel. Left our things, took a short nap and rest before going to Ladies’ Market 女人街. Love the bustling street even till late into the night. Hongkong is really a city that never sleeps.

Ended our shopping at Xu Liu Shan 许留山 and flooded our stomach with mango, mango and more mangoes.. yummlicious.

Energised with mango power, we went hunting for Krispy Crème. Like what I always tell people who Q up at J-Co or Donut Factory, if you have eaten krispy crème donuts, you’ll never find any donut comparable. The x-factor actually lies in their original glazed donuts which taste so simple but irresistible. Fancy donuts…no thanks!

Sat down back in hotel and started digging my suitcase again. Quick witted ahmad managed to open it from another way…kamsiah!!!!
