Hong Kong Edition 2
Day 3 - Peak Tower
Still feeling v excited abt being in a new country w a bunch of close friends, we decided to go check out Peak Tower. It's a touristy destination but it's the best place to get a good view of HK. But darn! By the time we reached the peak, we were all freezing cold. At times, it's tough to even take pics. It doesn't help whn after braving all tt cold, we decided to treat ourselves to Haagen Dazs chocolate fondue. By tt I mean, ice-cream rolls dipped in hot chocolate. OOohhh, I tell u, it's truly a satisfaction coz we shivered as we ate & we can literally feel the cold right through our spine. *Brrrrrrrrrr*
Had dinner @ Casa Nostra. A dimly romantic place w French music & drop dead gorgeous waiters. Apparently at this restaurant, only good-looking waiters & waitresses are hired. How discriminating! I had lobster bisque as entree & lobster risotto as main. Both were excellently done to suit my taste but I reckon it could be better to match up the price.
Day 4 - Shopping @ Causeway Bay
It is only on our fourth day tt we finally had e chance to "rake" Hong Kong. Went to Causeway Bay for some Food & Brand Expo, which was uncomfortably packed w locals yet it was a worthwhile trip w great bargains on local brands. One v distinct feature abt Hong Kong is tt it's always packed w people. The streets & the shops are always crowded & I'm not jst talking abt Petaling St kinda crowd flow.. a typical crowd in HK (esp during peak hr) is equivalent to the crowd u see in Bukit Bintang on New Year's eve. No joke! HK is seriously a busy metropolitan city tt is impossible to find some peace & tranquility admist it's rat race.
