Continuous post from Hong Kong for the 4th time!
The very next day, Baby & I went to our favourite eatery in Hong Kong, 源记茶餐厅. They are quite commercialize now but their food still taste like 2 years ago when Baby first brought me there.
While waiting for the food to arrive!
餐蛋面 - Crazy amount of noodles with 2 eggs and 2 pieces of luncheon meat. The locals can really eat a lot there and no matter how they eat still won't fat one wtf.
西土司 - My favourite french toast and peanut butter fillings with lots of maple syrup. Yummy!!
Forgot to take picture of my favourite 冻奶茶/Ice Tea from 源记. It's just Lipton but it taste so good!!!
We spend our way shopping around The One mall and Tsim Sha Tsui areas. I was also "conned" by this Sasa sales personnel LOL. I wanted to purchase just 3 SK-II products from Sasa - Facial Treatment Essence, Cleanser & Cellumination Essence EX. But she was saying my skin is too thin so I should refrain from using SK-II products as they are too strong for my skin. She politely asked if she could do a 2 mins skin analysis for me. In the end, spend almost 3 hours in Sasa and bought more than SGD$800 worth of skin care just for myself. Already tried to limit myself on the products, she was introducing SGD$300-$400 on an unknown brand eye creams and etc wtf.
Bought products from Suisse Programme which is their in-house brand, have been using them regularly for both day and night for about 1 month. Skin has improved tremendously and friends/colleagues commented I look fairer. The black box is baby's facial treatment essence from SK-II. My more than SGD$800 worth of purchase excludes his wtf.
Also bought lashes, lens cases and random stuffs from Sasa too!
Met up with Thomas & Esther for dinner at one of a chinese restaurant that we went with our family during April. The food was really nice. :)
四季豆 - Also one of my favourites!
Mince pork tofu. This must be the first dish because once you try other dishes, it will affect your taste buds and you will find the tofu taste bland. #reallifeexperience Our first visit to the restaurant, the tofu was served first and all of us liked it. However for this trip, the tofu was served after the meat dish and because the meat has a very strong and distinctive taste, it affected out taste buds and the tofu kinda become tasteless. Still nice lah, but if first dish definitely will be better.
梅菜扣肉 - Love this!!! But a tad too salty for Esther's liking.
Some duck which we ordered previously too but doesn't taste as nice already. :(
After dinner, we walked around as usual. About an hour or 2 later, I decided to hunt for 大闸蟹 at Ladies Street because I thought I never eat before, it was the season and also I wanted to eat at their "Zi Char" stall. Oh, I was saying I thought I never eat before right? After that crab was served, I realise I actually I did ate before when I was in Singapore many years ago wtf seriously.
大闸蟹! I had 1 by myself while Thomas & Esther shared 1. Baby not eating coz not a fan of it.
LOOK AT THE GAO!!!! 大闸蟹 is famous for the gao which is the egg of the crab! I was never a fan of gao but this was really very nice! I literally fly when I ate the gao. LOL
Stir-fried escargots with chilli and black beans. Nice!!
Fried noodles! Really yummeh too, I remember eating this when I was in Macau with baby 2 years ago after losing Jackpot at 430am. LOL
Deep fried pigeons. The head is staring at us wtf. Really yummeh too!!!
Ended the night with a really happy meal. Haha, at least I'm proud to say I have eaten at a road side stall in Hong Kong after travelling there for 4 times. :)
Woke up at 10am the next morning, met up with Thomas & Esther and brought them for lunch at 源记 again. Hahaha. I never get sick of this place.
Roasted delicacies. They have the nicest roast goose drumstick ever, you must dip in in the sour plum syrup that they provide. I'm craving for this again wtf.
My humongous serving of 七彩炒面 which I waited for 30 minutes because the server forgot to order this for me. Almost gave up waiting but luckily I didn't because it was really yummeh (again). There's nothing not yummeh in Hong Kong! Why like that! LOL
After lunch, we split up and went shopping at Penisular while the other pair went to Avenue of the stars. We were on a quest to search for the Chanel wallet that mil wants. Bought the wallet and went off to search for Alexander McQueen in Harbour Centre, was really angry with Baby coz we spend 1 hour looking for the damn shop wtf. He damn stubborn don't want to seek for others help and me getting real annoyed coz time is really precious and it's our last night in Hong Kong and I haven't shop enough yet wtf.
Finally found the shop and to our dismay, nothing caught his eye. Almost wanted to kill him! LOL
I went to H&M so he said he wants to go to the toilet to poo. In actual fact, he went back to the Chanel store and bought me a bag that I tried for my birthday present. He came to H&M to look for me but I didn't realise he holding onto the huge paper bag cpz I was still mad at him for wasting time. We left the H&M store and he suddenly walk beside, held the paper bag and said "Happy Birthday Baby!".
Here it is, my new baby from Chanel. I think ah, my previous life I confirm done a lot of good deeds one.
Head back to the hotel to keep our shopping bags and prepare for The Peak coz Esther never been there before. This time round, we took a bus to The Peak instead of the usual tram. It was quite an experience even though half the time I was getting really panic. The road was supa steep and I was supa afraid that the bus will roll down the hill wtf.
I was sharing with baby "In Singapore ah, I don't even take bus!".
After visiting the Peak, we went to Mong Kok and randomly walk into a sushi restaurant. The food there was really good!!
Sea urchin fried rice! Really yummy!
After dinner at hmmm... 1030pm lol, we went for our cabin-size-luggage-search wtf. The bad thing about having a vain husband/wife (Relating to the both of us) is we have too many clothes, shoes, bags and hmmm... luggage. It's always never enough wtf. I wanted to get a cute pink cabin size luggage for myself coz I think it's essential, ok lah. It's not essential, I just wanted to get it. LOL But the hubby? He wanted to get coz since I'm getting one, he also wants! He already has dunno how many pieces of cabin size luggage at home. This man ah, sibei spendthrift - no wonder we can get along that well lol!
Since the hubby bought me a Chanel bag, I decided to buy him the luggage as a gratitude. :)
Mad fucking cheap!! Please go to Ladies Market! I paid both for only HKD$1100. The pink one (obviously is mine) after deep discount is only around HKD$400+? It's best to purchase stuffs at Ladies Market ONLY when they are about to close coz you can bargain ridiculously and most of the time they'll accept the offer. Hahaha.
So we went shopping around Mong Kok (again) for food, some shirts for my fil, random items from random shops and ended our night.
Some of our crazy shopping bags! Actually ah, this trip we didn't really buy a lot of things. Especially me! Usually when I go overseas, I buy like at least 50-80pcs of clothings. Maybe now old liao, focus more on skin care, bags and gifts for others. LOL
Favourite shopping bags among the whole lot.
Couple sneakers we got!
And he bought another bag for me wtf. The camouflage pouch is for his ipad.
These are the random stuffs from random shops.
Fragrance, skin care, cosmetic and skin care (again). Oh! I supa love b.liv serum for black and white heads. My white heads decreased tremendously after using this!!! I suppose this may be a strong product, so I suggest one to use only once a week. You will see results! But use it after you have extract the irritating heads, it sorta suppress the heads and prevents them from growing again.
Woke up early the next day for last minute shopping in Mong Kok. Went into this random stall and tried their specialty 鱼蛋粉 which is known is fish ball kway tiao in Singapore. Supa dupa nice lah the fish ball! I don't like fish balls because my dad used to deep fry fish balls for our birthdays when we were young. Every single year without fail, confirm got fish balls. I got sick of it and thus have phobias for fish balls now. LOL
Supa nice and yummy! As you can see, my drink is again ice milk tea. LOL Must have drink in Hong Kong!
Went for a hair wash at a random salon, while baby went to try his luck and search for his Hot Toys figurines somewhere nearby again. This man ah, in the middle of this year suddenly very into figurines coz one of his customer sold an Iron Man figurine for SGD$2000. So this husband of mine became very into figurines and wants to invest in them. He now has more than 30 pcs at home. We had a contract agreement about his toys that he cannot exceed 4 toys in a year which he obviously had already way exceeded the quota. LOL
And I also very "clever", only ask him to sign the contract but never state any clause. Sigh. Should have write something like "If you exceed the limit, per toy fine $1000. I could have easily have min. $26,000 now.
Moving on, I went to New Town Hall (again) for the last minute shopping, also to collect a "shoe extender" for my shoes. The hubby is really thoughtful... When I was trying out a pair of pumps during the 1st or 2nd day of the trip, he asked the Store Assistant if they actually sell that "shoe extender" because I have a lot of shoes that couldn't fit me due to pregnancy and water retention. It cost abt HKD$500 and we can only collect on the day we depart. I also manage to get some clothes and shoes.
Before we went back to the hotel to pack our newly bought stuffs again (lol), we went to Ajisen for some ramen. To my surprise, the ramen there in Ajisen totally taste different compared to Singapore. Definitely much nicer and NOPE! I wasn't hungry!
One of the side orders they have there!
Oishii spicy char siew ramen!!!! It will be perfect of the egg is soft-boiled instead of hard!!!!
Additional side order, chicken karaage.
Back to hotel, took a cab to the airport and sayonara-ed to Hong Kong. We'll be back soon!!!!
Our luggage! The pink ones are obviously mine! Oh, I bought an additional neon bag to stuff more newly bought clothes. Wtf.
Definitely one of my favourite airlines ever. I always love their in-flight entertainment and shopping items! Lol.
Some of the clothes I bought. All very cheap only la! Cardigans are always a must-buy in Hong Kong. SGD$3-5 per piece only! Crazily good deal!
More comfy tights and big ball pants! Baby likes the starry one! I wore it few weeks ago, washed and the stars became almost invisible now. Fml.
Spiked studded pumps! Madly in love with this! Can't afford to get a Louboutin, I shall get something inspired then.
Another jelly flats! Bought the red version during the previous Hong Kong trip, very comfortable!
And my favourite shoe-buys for the trip! This is only SGD$6+ per pair wtf. Show you guys who it looks when worn in the next post!!
I have serious or should I say severe dark circles since young due to constant rubbing of eyes. People who have never seen me without make up on will be shocked when I remove my eye make due to the extreme dark circles I have. So girls if you are reading this, stop rubbing your eyes!! No matter how early you rest, you will still have dark circles because the veins around your eyes have burst due to the rubbing which causes dark shadows around your eye area. Always remember this, the skin around your eyes are the most delicate area. Anyway, heard raves about this and bought it during the flight back. Consists of 2 tubes of 15ml in the box selling at SGD$174.
I have been applying it religiously every single day and night, I notice the dark circles now has slight improvement. They are still there, but at least I don't have to go to the extreme by concealing the dark circles with a concealer anymore. For most of the time now, I only apply powder foundation.. Though it's still visible but definitely not as severe as before. But of course, don't expect this to get rid of your dark circles. It can only help to lighten the area! Dark circles that are not cause by lack of sleep will never disappear, don't be cheated by the beauty consultants.
That concludes the end of Hong Kong trip's blog post. Can't wait to head back there for more purchase of skincare products again.
