my sis went over first on the 4th before my mum and sis-in-law on the 9th and i was the last to join them hee...
i took a 7pm flight on thursday and still went to work before that haha it was a mad rush and fortunately, my brother was available to send me to the airport from my workplace...
was totally excited about taking a flight alone and thankfully, i had decent food and the personal entertainment to keep me occupied :) watched 2 movies and a concert by lady gaga haha... and there's also the ds to keep me busy as well, so it was a smooth ride over for me...
didn't had a hard time getting to town from the airport as i had taken the bus before during last year's trip... :) had a short but good sleep @ the hostel before i head to zhuhai via ferry the next morning to meet up with my family...
caught the 840am ferry and reached zhuhai by 10am... took a cab to the hotel to meet my family and off we went for breakfast!
the dim sum at the hotel was sooooo good! one of the best ever!
after breakfast, our next stop was to the famous gongbei underground shopping mall for some shopping!!! the place is just like far east with small shops everywhere selling bags, clothes and shoes... it's air-conditioned underground with 2 levels... there were so many lanes and junctions that one can get lost easily...
after shopping, went for massage nearby and i was so tired that i even fell asleep while massaging... and then we hired a van which drove us to the famous seafood street for dinner...
the concept is rather interesting, there will be a marketplace along the road whereby they will sell fresh live seafood... once u chose all the seafood that you want, you choose a restaurant on the other side of the road and they will cook the seafood exactly the way you want it...
the best thing is that it's cheap!!! the abalone below costs only RMB$7 which is like only SGD$1++ omg yumz cheap and good! it's really the best seafood feast ever~ we had abalone, scallops, fish, bamboo clams, 2 types of prawns, geoduck sashimi, fish soup, geoduck porridge etc and it only costs SGD$150+ for 7 people... super worth it!
went back to hong kong at night after dinner and it was more shopping and eating :)
my family went to lantau island the next morning and i did not join them as i had already been there before last year...
i spent the whole day shopping alone instead... went to h&m @ central and i had a blast there as there was a sale going on!!! haha... the store opens at 1030am and i spent a freaking 3 and a half hours there till 2pm lol... i was SGD$200 poorer by the time i was out of that store bahz! but the designs there are really nice and some items are super worth it with prices as low as HKD$50 whee!
next stop was causeway bay and before i knew it, it was evening time and i met up with my family once again... we went to eat wanton mee! and the shop is famous for its dessert - soya beancurd in red bean paste... yumz!
think we did more shopping at night before heading back to rest :)
went to TST the next day via bus...
was at giordano and kylie was the mannequin of the day =p
bought her some clothes and a new hat teehee
had dessert at sweet dynasty for tea break...
the soya beancurd in almond paste is so smooth, love it!
dessert at xu liu shan
i order this every night without fail cause i love the QQ mochi balls haha
we were super happy that we got to take the new A380 carrier on our flight back :)
and now here are our shopping loots from the trip hehe
sis bought me a gift while she was there alone before i went over :) i mentioned once to her that i find the ferragamo hair clip super nice and she saw it at hk and bought it for me... so sweet of her lar!
it's never a good thing to send 4 women together to hk cause in the end, you get overweight luggages and lotsa clothes!
just buy......
and buy......
and buy!!!
and lastly our shoes! my brother say we can go pasar malam and open a stall liao lol
enjoyed this trip tremendously~ for all the shopping, great company and yummy food... had a good break from all the sianz things back in sg and came back refreshed and recharged :)
i love hk!
(this are only some of the pics, i'm too lazy to upload all =p the rest are all on facebook =D)
