Babymoon | Hong Kong Day 4 - Last day...

Hubs was googling for Dim sum at Mongkok area because i grumbled that we haven't ate dim sum yet since we came to HK. So we tried dimdimsum dimsum at Mongkok after reading some positive reviews about this place.

i think i still miss Tim Ho Wan when it was located just behind my hotel!!!

Liu Sha Bao in the shape of little piglets. very cute but i think back home Canton Dynasty ones are way much better.

 Har Gao...also ok.

Bo Luo Baos....yes this is one that I really prefer Tim Ho Wans. There's no char siew inside but real pineapple chunks...so it's a sweet stuffing. I much like a savoury filling with a crusty top that looks like a pineapple rather than getting the real pineapples. Plus it was really a bun texture and no where close to Tim Ho Wan's flaky baked crust....OMG...probably have to go back to SG to settle my cravings.

after dim sum, Hubs wanted to go to this toy shop in TST to try to find a miniature version of his subaru impreza. Yup he got it alright. After he has gotten his toy, we went to Island Beverly and La Foret to walk around...and settled our feet at RBT.

Grilled cheeze crisp....lousy.

 Tham Zai Suan Lai Fen (潭仔酸辣粉）this is really good. But you have to add more ingredients on top of the normal bowl of nooodles. I added vegetables while hubs had the pork cheek slices.

Sour and spicy. I almost drank up all the soup.
Serving portion was just right but the service was so slow!!!

More buys from the street markets...more falsies for me, socks for everyone which i bought from Jardine Crescent ($100 for 10 pairs of socks) and minion pjs ($38 each) for the boys.

 Che Zai Min...the soup is sooo sooo good!!!

more last minute shopping for myself, MIL and mummy.

Hongkong Day 04

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY TO ALL MY FELLOW SINGAPOREANS!!!
and i'm here in my third day in Hongkong having dim sum with my parents!

Daddy is very happy when all his food has arrived to the table....


Mum goes..."aiyah...Singapore also have very good bao....sup sup sway here lah...."
Dad goes with raised eyebrows..."huh....you think so..."

weijie goes..." sigh...MILS...just eat can already...but i better keep my mouth shut."

time for a shot for my parents!

and a shot of me and wj in my spanking new colourful rainbow top!!!! Plus new hairband too!


after loads of dim sum, it's time to walk off all the calories and we are off shopping for home living stuff! Okay peeps, you got to scroll all the way down to see the buys for today..cos when i shop, there's hardly time to take photo at the same time.



Love dropping by the outlet mall near disneyland cos there's always a good buy/steal somewhere! This time i bought a kate spade sling bag at a fraction of its original price!

After approx 2 hours of shopping at the outlet mall, it's time for some serious stomach filling noodles...and my fave place is Mak Mun Kee 麥文記麵家 quite famous in Hong Kong’s Jordan area for its wonton noodles. It’s located at Parkes Street, just next to Australian Diary Co where it's famous for their breakfast set where their scrambled eggs are soo fluffy, buttery and YELLOW!!!!

Mak Mun Kee Noodle House – Address: 51, Parkes Street, Jordan, Hong Kong.

WJ had the dried noodles while i tried their shrimp powder noodles which wasn't to my palette. So to those out there reading, please just eat their soup wanton noodles. Playing safe is a good choice.


such a small bowl of noodles...mum was pretty pleased....watching her weight but daddy was like "huh...where got full like that!!!" But it just means that we have more space in our tum tum to eat the street side food!!!


eat how old fashion it gets???? Retro wall tiles and wooden benches.
After eating my fave wanton noodles, we went down to La Foret and Island Beverly where i left my parents for some shopping on their own....and i quickly headed over to Xu Lui Shan for desserts!!!

WJ isn't too pleased here that i had left my parents just to eat my bowl of mango chunks with mango puree on top of pulut hitam...gosh someone should really start selling these in Singapore!


Time flies and after a few hours of shopping, we went back to Mongkok for some night street food fare!!! and here is our bowl of beef innards!!! hahahahah.....

see WJ's disgusted face! But i lurve it!!! so delicious!!!! YUMS!!!!
it's not stinky or fishy or anything...it's just stewed too perfection...soft and moist and taste just right!


here are the buys for today!!!!

Hongkong Day 02

Tim Ho Wan (Dim Sum) with a One Michelin Star!
Shop 8, Taui Yuen Mansion Phase 2, 2-20 Kwong Wa Street, Mong Kok

Yes we are back here again...everytime when we visit HK, we are sure to be here to eat their cheap and good dim sum no matter how long the Q or the wait. Just joining in the Q is already an experience itself!


Can you find me??? Im actually to the right of the "P" parking sign...in a turquoise top and khaki shorts. YEP, that's me....accordingly to the ladyboss, im holding lucky ticket number 10!

mum and dad posing in front of the famous shop

finally after 45mins of waiting we are in! and ahren is posing with their famous Char Siew Bao...which is flaky, hot and not oily at all! Because it's freshly baked from the oven.

here's how the insides look...juicy sweet barbequed pork, laden with all it's goodness!

see how happy my mum is from just eating her char siew bao??? You got to try them cos no one makes char siew bao like Tim Ho Wan.

below are more dim sum photos which we ordered....


beef balls are a must try dim sum in HK, cos they don't make the same taste back home!!!
Think it has some tangy taste to it, like dried tangerine peels or something....

siew mai.

oh oh...gotta try their Gui Hua Dessert...very refreshing!

some hot desserts...ok, not sweet at all...so i like it.

crispy spring rolls...

MUACK! to all my blog reading fans!!!!
