HONGKONG DAY 2
Started the day by visiting the Clock tower and the Avenue of Stars. But before that, we had to take a boat to cross the river over to Tsim Sha Tsui side.
We had lunch at Pokka Cafe at Tsim Sha Tsui. At the cafe, we spotted two actor/actress look a like! =DD We ordered millet sprout milk tea, thick cut stewed pork and mixed vegetable miso ramen and grilled japanese eel fried rice. The food was good.
After lunch, we started on our major shopping spree. I think we spent quite some time at a few of the shops and bought just sooooo many things! But the style there is rather similar to the zipia bone's style. Just that its at half the price. Wooooh!
For dinner, we dined at the Star Cafe at Austin Road. Omgggggg. The food was sooooooo freaking gooooood! We had a huge feast, really. We ordered, lobster
blique with sherry and brandy. Pan -fried goose liver on mushroom stew and orange port reduction. Ox tail stew in red wine and finally, hot souffle maison. Damn, it has got to be one of the best meal in my life. =DD
After dinner, we went to temple street to look see look see and soak into the hongkong culture. We just had to have dessert, because its a holiday rule. So, we stopped by 'Xu Liu Shan' for some mango dessert and also the birds nest and 'xut kap' in coconut.

GUANGZHOU DAY 4/ HONGKONG DAY 1
Last breakfast at Guangzhou, before leaving for Hongkong! We went back to the 5star Hotel for dimsum breakfast. And yes, from the pictures, its easy to tell that our all time favourite at Guangzhou was Xiao Long Bao. We ordered it three days in a row!! =DD After breakfast, we went took a train back to Hongkong.
Upon arrival at Hongkong, Da Jie and I checked into our hotel. We stayed at Cosmo hotel at Wanchai, near causeway bay. The boutique hotel is beautifulllllll! The staff were all damn helpful. And the hotel never failed to smell like citrus. LOL
We took a shuttle bus from the hotel to Times Square at Causeway Bay and look! They had huge teacups outside the Times Square concourse! DAmnnnn cuteee! We took MTR to Central and had our first meal at Lan Kwai Fong. I had maggie mee with abolone and ham. yummyyummy!
The queue to take the tram up the Peak was damnnnn long. And it was rather annoying with this china couple behind my sister and I. =(( But okay, the wait was worth it, because the view up there was really good! I was really obsessed with the Bank Of China tower. Its HK's icon isnt it!!!! HAHAHA.
And look! There's an icecream parlour with a million flavours! But I had to give it a miss because of lent sacrifice to not eat icecream. omggg. How nobel!

GUANGZHOU DAY 3
Dim Sum breakfast at another hotel. And it was better than the first day's dim sum. I think i like xiao long bao now. After nineteen years. haha.
I love my green scarf! Yes, I was inspired by the green scarf in the 'confessions of a shopaholic'. Haha. Finally tried Zhen Gong Fu. And the food was really good! We ate a lot the whole day actually. And I captured the bucket of milk with rose petals i soaked my leg in, to remember the very shiok massage. lol.

GUANGZHOU DAY 2
Started our day by having Dim Sum brunch at the restaurant in our hotel. The dim sum was not bad actually, except for the fried chee chong fun. After that, we took a cab to Zhuang Yuan Fang for a major shopping spree. I think this is the first time I bought so many things that I've trouble carrying my buys. Just look at the big black rubbish bag I was carrying on my shoulder! And thats not all, because we came back for round two after putting the first round of stuff in the hotel. =DD
In the evening, we went to Shang Xia Jiu. Walked the street a few times before finding the very very good restaurant my sister wanted me to eat at. The food was good, but my taste bud is spoilt. It was only towards the end of the meal that I realised that the tofu dish did not contain peanut, but salted eggs. OMGGG. Then we had the usual Shuang Pi Nai at the dessert place near the hotel and also, the full body massage!

GUANGZHOU DAY 1
Took the morning flight to HK international airport. Had brunch at the airport. It was the bestEST breakfast I ever had, ham and fried egg set at Dai Ka Lok. =DD Thereafter, we purchased our octopus card and took a bus down to the train station and took an express train to Guangzhou.
Upon reaching GZ, we checked in to the hotel and went for dinner. Dinner was at an eatery near the hotel. They served the yummiest crab porridge. I think i had like 4 bowls of it. The shishamo was awesome too! And the sweet sour pork was omgggg the bestEST. I think i ate like 3/4 of it. After dinner, we walked down to the market place beside it, and bought a lot of little stuff, like hairbands, stockings. Da jie and I got ourselves a costume hairband each! I bought the rabbit ears which were damnnnnn super cuteeee and she chose the devil ears, which suit her pretty well actually. HAHA.
Walked over to Bei Jing Lu and did some shopping. There were soooo many shops and toooo many things to see. It was really crazy, but guess what. Thats not the best shopping place! lol. We had shuang pi nai at a dessert place near our hotel. It was so damn freaking goooood. The smoothest, the most authentic shuang pi nai I ever had. And yes, we had shaung pi nai every night. HAHAHAHAHHA. Went back to the hotel and after our bath, we went for full body massage which was so damn shiok. And of course, we went back for the full body massage every night. HAHA.

TURKEY DAY 9
Spice Market and Bosphorus cruise.
Lunch and Metro down to Levent.
Last meal along Istiklal Cad and Ataturk Airport.
Finally I'm done blogging about Turkey. However this doesnt mark the end. Turkey's too beautiful. Landscape, culture, food and history are too captivating that its difficult to forget. I'll be back someday. Maybe I'll be able to speak Turkish by then! =DD Till then, I'll keep whatever beautiful memories I have of the trip deep in my heart and remember all that I felt.
