Last HK Trip – Update
This is my 3rd trip to Hong Kong. First time was 2 years ago, with my sister. In that trip, our focus was food. I think of the 3 trips, I tasted most delicious and most variety of food in the first trip.
2nd trip was earlier this year, with my family. The main focus was Disneyland, because of the kids. We couldn’t do much sightseeing, but ate some very good and expensive food that my sister and I didn’t manage to eat (too expensive for 2 persons).
And this trip last week, was with DH’s colleagues. We stayed a night in Macau, and visited some casino-hotels. This is something new to me. Although I’ve been to Macau in the 1st trip, our focus were on food, and never stepped into any hotels/casinos. Really an eye-opener for me this time.
The last time we missed this memorial wall in tai-san-pa, so it was worthy to see it this time:
I found this casino-hotel quite interesting. Above the casino, there is this shopping mall. The ceiling is so nice, that I for once thought I was outdoor and the day was still bright (it was about 9pm). When I look at the photo again, I still thought it is an outdoor scene!!
In HK, I got to visit this wax museum, which I didn’t gave the time to cover. Fun to be with DH’s colleagues in the museum though. On the way down, the tour guide (yes, we had one, very silly right?) said we should experience riding this double decker bus without roof – similar to those that you can see in NYC. Okay, one new experience for me!
This trip, because of the tour agency’s arrangement, we didn’t manage to eat much of the local authentic food. All food were very lousy, only meant for tour group.
So, during the free & easy times, I became the ‘tour guide’, bringing DH’s colleagues to eat those food that I still remembered and missed so much. We ate the 九记牛腩, Australian Diaries, 义顺牛奶, 乐园牛丸, etc. Yummy…
Overall, a very enjoyable trip.
