the boys lazing in their beds and watching cartoons on tv
we headed to chef mickey for our buffet breakfast.
selection was good though it seems that the chinese food tasted better than the western one. heh.
me with my boys.
lil' nut messing things up in the shop. tsk tsk.
we bathed and packed our luggage before checking out.
after leaving our luggages with the concierge, its time to hit the park again!
i cant believe ah long is the only one looking at the camera!
we went fantasy world and adventure land. yz had the most fun, apparantly.
im glad, since this disneyland trip is mainly for him!
we left disneyland about 3+pm and took a cab to our butterfly on prat hotel at TST.
the challenge of the whole trip started once we left disneyland.
HK is just not a baby/kid friendly place!
too many people smoking.
too narrow streets for navigation with stroller.
too many impatient/rude people affecting our moods.
i see HK in a new light with kids in tow this time round.
so for the next 3 days in town, our routine is pretty much set:
set off in the morning for breakfast followed by shopping/leisure walking around city area.
Then, its back to the hotel for the kids to nap. mum will nap with them, freeing hb and myself to venture out on our own for that precious hour or two. wahaha.
then its time to hit the streets for more walking and dinner before retreating back to hotel by 8pm for the kids to wind down.
after they zzzed, hb and i will go out again but most shops are closed so we eat. haha.
so day 2, we just explored the area near our hotel - Harbour city & dinner was @ crystal jade (boring safe choice).

day 3: central/jordan
we set off early for an authentic breakfast at lin heung tea house @ central!
the dim sum was good but quite challenging finding seats and ordering food with the "fast-paced"/impatient waiters...
breakfast was less than HKD$150 for all of us!
then, its shopping time for all of us at the biggest H&M store @ central.
followed by tracking down the yummy egg tarts from tai cheong.
ive made reservations at yung ki restaurant before we left sg.
yes, its that crowded.
but, im really really glad we did this lunch.
the char siew might easily be the best ive eaten in my life! *slurp*
though its really a lil' overpriced if you ask me.
char siew!! & its famous roast geese
after that, back to hotel for the boys to nap.
evening was spent around jordan area and we had dinner@ australian diary company!
i had my fav. HK desserts there - steamed egg white fresh milk?
day 4: causeway bay/TST
we shopped more at causeway bay area and truth be told, we were all pretty worn out by the polluted and crowded HK by then.
we spent alot of time just settling down at cafes in shopping malls and resting our tired feet/achign backs. haha.
light drizzle in the evening, so time was spent around TST.
mum had the best time shopping for all her buys for friends/relatives back home.
day 5: mong kok/home sweet home!
day 5: mong kok/home sweet home!
pretending to be best friend again
we had breakfast at tsui wah tea house this time and again, im fascinated with the good food and cheap prices of HK tea houses!
after which, we bathed and packed our luggage for check-out.
after leaving the luggages with the hotel staff, we set off for langham place @ mongkok.
finally, the brands there were less atas as compared to times square, IFC etc.
more suitable for us, heh.
time flies, and we were soon on our way to the airport for our 630pm flight back!
flight was smooth except for the last part where yr was wailing out loud during landing after being rudely waken up from his sleep.
all i can say is luckily, he's not the loudest among all the crying babies. :P
what can i say!? home is still the best!
i felt much better breathing in the fresh air in sg.
my asthma ceased to act up much once we touched down. amazing.
ok, more on my loots in next post.
