5 Wonders of Hong Kong/Macau (14th-18th Nov 2010)


I have seen alot of my friends taking pics of the Little Venetian in Macau and I was always feeling envious of how beautiful it was. It really was when we made our way there, we spent almost an hour (or more) trying to find the best spot and adjsuting our camera for the right lighting. No wonder it marks the place of attraction not to be missed in Macau.

Did I mention before that I love visiting the architectures? Continuining from England and Paris' adventures, I love my picture here with the Ruins of St Paul's. Even though I didn't really go into studying the history, but just by looking at it alone, I find this ruined facade attractive and I am certainly satisfied even with just this for my visit to Macau.


While both Pi and I were trying to pen down the list of local delicacies of must-tries in HK, we realised we didn't have a lot of days for lunch-es and dinners taking into account our itineraries and timing. But well, it suddenly jumped on me that we could have a combi together. And so we went for Goose with fish Congee from the Fuk Kee along Playing Field road at Mong Kok. I remember we walked quite a distance to search for it. And well, it marks its name and never fail us. But not sure it really was goose or was it merely duck. It doesn't really matter, anyway. We had a taste of congee and so-called goose in HK already. =]

Next was the Wonton-Mee from Chee Kei recommended by Mimi. Have heard alot of comments regarding wonton-mee in HK. Some said it tastes different from SG with no char-siew. Some said it was full of lard. Sound disgusting. But we still wanted a try and so we left some stomach space for it after we returned from Macau. Not too bad with the prawn filling inside, but the mee tasted ordinary though. Might try different types of wonton-mee if I am back to Chee Kei the second time.

Lantau Island with the Giant Buddha! How could I skip this for Disneyland or Ocean Park! Even though there were 200 steps to go, the feeling of completing it was equivalent to that of the Sunrise Peak when I was in Jeju. S.A.T.I.S.F.I.E.D. Physically tired but mentally refresh =]

A short and simple get-away. Didn't shop a lot cause of the winter season. Lots of laser eyes shopping but we managed to cover most of what we wanted to see though. For the upcoming years ahead, I am not sure if I will be visiting HK again, might or might not depending. But definitely, this trip will be part of my life portfolio =]
