Live. Laugh. Love: HK travel log day 6

on our sixth and second last day (for the girls at least), we headed for dim sum breakfast at the said restaurant in the picture below, located at Tim Ho Wan of Mong Kok.

so the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover. one may be deceived by the exteriors of this eatery but it has one of the best dim sums in HK. the chef has been awarded one Michelin star and the average waiting time is about 2 hours. So we got our queue number before heading off to walk around. When we finally went back, there was some miscommunication and the owner of the shop was rather rude which kinda spoilt our moods.

but their food won our hearts over easily.

pork porridge

carrot cake was so smooth

chee cheong fan was the bomb. woah.

har gao

this was the char siew pastry, one of their signature dishes. oh gosh. my salivary glands are active just doing this post.

Osmanthus jelly

After lunch, the girls had errands to run so we separated from the boys. We made our ways back to Granville circuit where Rise shopping arcade was and had to do some exchange at their polaroid shophouse.

we then headed back to Argyle cause we needed to do some clothes exchange.

and tried their happy lemon! they have it in Sg too :)

oh and one thing about HK, they sell cold noodles in small packets. You choose the type of noodle you want, and 2 types of food (octopus, jellyfish, crab stick etc etc) to go along and its mixed together with sauces. oh my. it is so awesome i can't even begin to describe. the thing is, i didn't have the appetite to eat it on that particular noon so M and C said really weird things to tempt me to eat and gave me angry faces when i resisted their temptations >:(

because we had severe time constrains, we cabbed around the places, stopped at Sneakers' Street and got Vans for M before rushing back home for r's home made dinner!

the 2 boys posed with OUR FOOD >:( because they started digging into the food too fast

After dinner, we rested for quite some time (i.e. nap for me, ha ha) before the girls went off separately from the guys (yes, again) cause we needed to use our vouchers from Agnes B. so off we headed for causeway bay and it was a night of robert-ness. we got into the cab and i immediately realized i left my phone back at home (S and I were the points of contact between the boys and girls) so M had to msg the guys with her sg number.

Here we are, outside Agnes B, Causeway Bay

And the most robert-ed thing happened. Actually it happened in the noon but we only came to realize it there and then. So many calls were made back to Sg and we were in quite a fluster but thank God everything got taken care of by wonderful colleagues :)

so once we were done at Agnes B, we cabbed back to Sneakers street and got myself a pair of vans too!

Here we are, in our Vans :) can't be found in Sg !

When we were finally willing to stop shopping, we met the guys for supper at this beef noodles eatery down the street of our apartment. it was really good!
