Satisfaction - Guaranteed

Well, I'm back people.

With all the anticipation, preparation and excitement....it was all worth it.

Ladies and gentlemen, hear me right. 3 DAYS IN HONG KONG ISN'T ENOUGH!!!! We really had a blast in Hong Kong and I enjoyed every single minute of it. I love the country and especially the FOOD~!!! And coming from a Penang guy who loves food...its a definate compliment. I literally spend most of my cash on food rather than shopping. Everything is simply delicious and mouth waterring. And you can take Marcel's word for it too. Apparently, that guy has some facination with Hong Kong's Portugese egg tarts that he'll literally kill you if you stand in the way between his egg tarts. This is a man with a mission. You can see the fury in his eyes. For all the 3 days, he was chow-ing down egg tarts like there's no tommorow. And of course, he couldn't leave before buying some home. HEhehee...but its really no joke people....the food is excellent...and the egg tarts too.


And oh yeah...for all the guys out there, porn magazines are legal. Everywhere you go, every newstand you see....its all sold in broad day light. God bless liberalism....I can already hear the sweet sound of all the guys cheering...

Anyway, the trip started off from the airport to Siew Chi's place. We hopped on a bus and we crossed the famous Tsing Ma bridge on the way to Siew Chi's.

Once there, then the adventure begins.


It was a real whirlwind tour around Hong Kong. We went to Mid-Level Soho....a hilly shopping and dining district which really wow-ed us. The Hong Kong governent literally built an entire escalator ascending the hill!!! It the bloody damn longest escalator I have been on!!!

Then after that, we manage to visit The Peak where I have only one thing to say....Miki-chan!!!!!! Hahahah...we manage to bump into a group of Japanese tourist, and there was this Jap gal which is simply adorable!!! She has such a cute demeanor that you can't seem but to have a soft spot for her. Thankfully, Marcel manage to take a pic of her. Sigh.... :) the best pic of the tour.

Then moving on, we then took the Star Ferry and manage to get a fantabulous night view of Hong Kong island and Victoria Habour. It was seriously a sight to remember. Then, we made our way along the Walk of the Stars, which is something similar to Hollywood's Walk of Fame.

Finally, we then rested ourselves for the day after visiting Tsim Sha Tsui briefly.

On day 2, we manage to cover alot of areas....and manage to also do some shopping. We went to Mongkok (definately my favourite shopping area), Tsim Sha Tsui again, Sham Shui Po and Wong Tai Sin (where I got my fortune told....err...or rather, my fortune "tweaked")

And finally on day 3, we slowed down our pace and and went to re-visit the few shopping areas that we rushed thru the day before. Did some last minute shopping, visited the popular Goldfish Market, Flower Market and Ladies Market....and then finally, back to Tseun Wan -Siew Chi's place.
This pic was taken just hours before we left for the airport. (Thanks Siew Chi and Kiat for being such wonderful hostess and being so accomodating!!! We really enjoyed ourselves and we really appreciate it)

All in all, Hong Kong is the perfect blend between Penang and Singapore. The place has a natural raw and grit to it...but at the same time have a feel of proper organisation within its chaotic state. Still, I wouldnt mind working in Hong Kong at all!!! Hehehe..

The place defintely stole my heart. Before the trip, I joked to my friends, with all the babes there, I wanna fall in love in Hong Kong.

But little did I know, I fell in love with Hong Kong.
