voted for wet weather plan as it was still drizzling when we woke up. off to Central in search for my custard bun. ended up at 莲香楼 which reportedly has good dim sum, but NO CUSTARD BUN!!
no other pics as the food was disappointing :( but to it's credit, HK friends said we didn't try their specialities.
then proceeded to the Peak Tram station to get our tickets to the Peak and MADAM TUSSAUDS - highlight of my hk trip!
but as fate would have it, my cursed HK luck had me (ONLY ME) sitting on the wrong side of the tram, completely no sights on the way up. and it started to drizzle again.
took plenty of pics at the Peak but deleted all but two back in SG. hahaha simply too many shots of the same thing.
back to mdm tussauds!!~~
aww 好sweet喔!
not a wax statue, but my johnny, why you so hot?
气质女明星
okay, for the first time, i'm going to 公开 photos of 老公s and me!!
first up, 古惑仔 古天乐!!
teehee.
next, we also have Brad and 城城 郭富城!
sadly no tony leung. guess I'll have to make do with 德华.
now THIS guy, he has GOT to be my favourite among them all. BECKS!!
*swoon~~ this made my entire HK trip worthwhile.
also took a walk around the politicians exhibit:
and paid Obama a visit
poor Kuan Yew was looking lonely so I showed him some love.
then I also said hello to my 哥儿们 -
Einstein, 小龙, Jet and 姚明
and finally rocked it out with the musicians.
departed from tussauds a very contented xm :)
did a little sightseeing along antiques street (Hollywood road) and we left for star ferry to catch the Guinness record holding Symphony of Lights!
thank goodness the skies cleared up for the day.
arrival at the Avenue of Stars. and look, I found 偶像 tony's star!
nice scenery by day, even better by night.
SYMPHONY OF LIGHTS!! mehhh.
all I have to say is this: errr. thanks for the 10 minutes of music! hk first timers can probably give this place a miss. maybe only worth visiting for phototaking..
on to Australian Dairy Company at Jordan for a late dinner. warning: it is really a very stressful experience. not a place to visit for slow eaters.
case in point: we were shown to a table for 4, where 2 of the seats were still occupied by a couple having their after-meal tea/coffee. I noticed that one of the cups was still about three-quarters full. Then the staff just said ok la, byebye la to the couple and started clearing their cups away. HAHAHA. no choice but to leave! epic experience.
have to admit, their toast and eggs were really good. macaroni a bit salty (again), maybe HK ppl just prefer a saltier diet?
set off for 女人街 where the items were mostly repetitive - card games, iPhone covers, shoes & bags in similar designs. thankfully I survived w/o any verbal abuse from the stallholders (then again, maybe cos I didn't get anything..)
HK continues to surprise me! Longchamp plastic bags for wet umbrellas!
