hk day 3

the last day in hk is another early day. this time we set out of the hotel at 7.30 p.m. the destination?? to catch the flag raising ceremony at the hk convention centre. well, we were just being typical tourists. the rest there were also tourists from the mainland.

the hk convention centre...hmm...i have forgotten what that monument is.

the two flags on the right and the golden bauhinia (flower). i think it was presented during the handover back to china. the whole ceremony ended in about 2 mins time. haha...and we practically ran there just to catch it. yawn.

kowloon's clock tower zoomed from hk island. they were promoting east asia games on the electronic board hence malaysia comes up.




one of the malls that we went to that morning. can't recall the name now. could be pacific mall. it was raining again. had a drink at starbucks coffee. regent had breakfast there. i love the grapefruit juice. not all the outlets have it.

the toilet is fascinating. the toilet cubicles are arranged into wavy form to suit the theme. there are about 15 cubicles. very spacious indeed. i guess this is one of the many posh malls on the island.


the famous lankwaifong. just a narrow slope on a side street with bars on both left and right. since we were there in the morning, everything was closed and it was oh so quiet and peaceful. dunno how it is at night. never been there at that time of the day.


and yummy...my meal before i left. roast goose and charsiew rice. heavenly. the rice is so fragrant and nice. really nice ah. just soft enough but not soggy. my mouth can still water thinking about it. the roast goose was fresh lah. we went to do our take-away as soon as the shop opened at 11a.m. we had to catch our ride to macau at 12noon. haha...crazy...but i told myself i must have this in this trip. we had it in the hotel room before we checked out. luckily the hotel was near the harbour. the takeaway price is $40 for one box. if you eat there, the price is different. next time wanna eat the whole goose.

how do you eat these smoked pork hand? the roasted goose waiting to be packed into takeaway box. if hk was my last stop, i am sure i would have bought one or two home for dad to try. next time lah.
so with that lunch, it ended my trip in hk. the next stop, macau.

i guess all the nonstop walking helped and my training to have smaller appetite worked too. too much to see and too little time to spend eating.
your treadmill will be useful now ;)
