Here comes the feeling of blogging ! Its just another once is a blue moon feeling and provided I da time for it ! ;) Alright a little update of what I've been doing . Scroll back to the last I blog . It was just like 8 mths of working ! & now it's 1.5 years! Fast ? Yea but at times I just feel like quitting. :/ How to release the thoughts of quitting ? heh , TRAVEL ! I guess now my dream job would be is FULL TIME TRAVELER AKA Traveler blogger. You get to go everywhere ... SPONSERED. How awesome is that?!   *dreaming*

Ok, rewind back to March 2014 ! I actually went back to HongKong ! Yea after 4 mths back from Hongkong with my boyfriend I went again with my colleague ! It was a really impromptu trip as we only book tickets 1 week before the trip ?! YES  A WEEK , 7 DAYS ! Lucky for sales we manage to the tickets for approx $240 round trip with tigerair, no check in bag ! But as for hotel is wasn't cheap $180 per night for that freaking small room. Oh wells.











Flight was at 0620. Thanks to my awesome dad for sending me to the airport ! Save moolah on cab ! When I arrived the q was insane long !!! by the time we got our boarding pass boarding gates was open. we had to rush thru our breakfast but end up taobao on the plane to eat.
Also it was my first time taking tigerair and oh boy the whole 4 hrs was kinda terrible. It was really squeezy, the seat was uncomfortable. whatever, I will try not to take tiger airways unless there is dirt cheap sale and short duration .


After 4 long hours ....

Finally we reach ! As we were still too early to check in our hotel we went for our early lunch together with our luggage. In this trip it's all about food! Good and cheap food. It is pretty convenient to travel in Hkg by their MTR , cab are expensive and complicated . So basically you save money as well ! First stop ! Tian Hao Yun! they said MUST EAT in HKG ! But honestly, I dont think it yummy, The choice of dim sum just a few, and when we were there, people were just standing outside the shop. Not sure if they are q-ing or waiting for order. So after spending 10 mins, we finally figured it out that we need to get the menu first, and give to cashier staff they will write a number for you. then patiently wait for your number to be called.


 Waited for like 45 mins, the number was going very slow, instead of waiting we went to korean minimart next door happily shopping for tidbits and went back ! Goddddddddddddd! WE MISSED OUR Q NUMBER !!!! and not 1 but 10 ?! Damn, we just went next door for like 15 mins?! Lucky we are not the only one. so after a while we finally get a table. Shared table, well in hkg is normal to have your meal sharing table with strangers. It wasn't a pleasant meal, as food was just meh and service even worst. No pictures of food, because it was so rush and they don't serve food all at once, it one by one. 


Continue our journey to our hotel , checked in rest for awhile , went to Argyle Centre do a little shopping. For those who don't know it actually a shopping place something like bugis street. I don't know how you pronounce that but it's just walkable distance from mongkok train station. If I rmb correctly is near exit D1 .
Randomly walking along the street we spotted another food restaurant that was in our makan list !! How coincident ?! & it was around 5pm we take it as early dinner. 

TSUI WAH




My experience of eating at these famous eating place was really stress! You better know what you wanna eat before you order, cuz if you take your time to think what you wanna order while they're waiting they will ROLL THEIR EYES! PLUS A IMPATIENT LOOK. Stress to the max and they speak canto, i can't speak, my partner does but not that pro. According to stories I heard from my colleagues/Friend they rather you speak english than chinese. Not sure how true is it but when you speak english they respect you more. So whenever I wanna speak I get very stress, which language should I say? 







How can you miss out these street food?! 

DAY 2 !



 Breakfast at MINDO CAFE ! Surprisingly, it was just 3 mins walk from our hotel ! Love the ambiance of the cafe , Super old school hongkong CHA CHAN TENG . Food was not bad .








Choker Necklace cost me 5 SGD at Argyle Centre ! 
We went over to a mall can't rmb what I rmb was Jasmin bought a longchamp bag which only took her 10 mins to consider ! :O anyway its like 100 SGD cheaper in singapore. BUY ONLY ! DON'T THINK SO MUCH ! hahahaha. Follow by taking a ferry to cross border from Tsim Sa Tsui to Causeway bay. Same price MTR if you don't wanna take ferry !





Egg Tarts just simply delicious ! Wish I had more !






MUST TRY ! CONG SAO DESSERT ! 



Shopping around at Causeway Bay, H&M , F21 so many brands of course shopping time !! The only time I get crazy at F21, seldom buy anything from F21 in singapore. But in hkg I bought 6 pieces ! After dessert we wanted to continue our shopping but it was pouring heavily so we went back to our hotel and rest & thank god we went back because there was Black Rain Warning. 
  1. This signal means: Very heavy rain has fallen or is expected to fall generally over Hong Kong, exceeding 70 millimeters in an hour, and is likely to continue. When the BLACK signal is issued, Hong Kong will come to a complete standstill.
  2. It was so bad that most of the train station flooded, one of the shopping mall ceiling fell . So both of us managed to get back to hotel safely. & obviously my dad was worried sick ! lucky connection and all are working well.



  1. Literally the last day of our trip ! 
  2. It was still raining, lucky us M1 hotel do have umbrella for rent 50HKG of deposit. so basically free ! Good! & it was huge enough of the 2 of us. Actually jasmin do have her umbrella but it was pathetic small that the wind could blow off her umbrella. HAHA imagine that !







  3.    Yes , prince edward for a better DIM SUM ! We research that price edward have alot of foodie so went over and just one afternoon we had 2 meals . Sinful & Satisfied ! :D Tourist Shot !





     LOOK AT THE MENU !!! LOOK AT NUMBER OF DIM SUM YOU CAN ORDER !!! DEFINITELY GOING BACK FOR MORE !!! RECOMMEND THIS ! MUST EAT BETTER THEN TIM HO WAN !!!  & their service not bad as well. We order 10 item while the lady is checking our order she said, you wanna strike off like 2 items cuz I think you wont be able to finish , we happily rejected. Saying no worries we have big appetite ! The amount of food we order is crazy as we haven finish another came, our table was so full that we have to put some food in one plate so that they can clear . Even the couple beside us was shocked and said that we really can eat. BUT , YES BUT !!!! We overestimated ! All 9 dishes was up, the lady came and said do you want to cancel the last order. LOL, we agreed. Not even that we still packed the remaining food back. Kill ourselves for being glutton !



  4. Just 1/3 of the food. I really wish I can take all the pictures of the food we eat. But it was really rush to quickly finish the food. therefore these are the one i manage to take. While typing this I wish I could fly to hkg now !! After eating we continue shopping for more make up at sasa. We went shopping like so many times! Then we went to Jordan wanted to eat forget what dessert end up the shop closed down but another coincident shop we saw ! MAK Noodles ! 





  5.  I like the noodles portion small but not filling so we could have enough space for dessert ! Settle our last meal of the day at Chung Kee Dessert and we ordered 3 dessert. !!



  6. After dinner we were all bloated. went back to mongkok  to do last shopping again ! Spend most of my money at SASA, bought double products to stock up my make ups. & the next day we woke up and head to airport.

















  7. & this mango pocky is yummehhhhhhh !
