SAR, China - Hong Kong – 4 Days 3 Nights (Part 2 - To do/see,to eat)Day 4

To do: Sky100 Elements International Commerce Centre (ICC), 1 Austin Road West, Kowloon, Hong Kong There is a little twin stars event at Sky100 so you see a lot of little twin stars all around. I got a lanyard and a paper photo frame by paying additional HKD 80 on top of the entry tickets. When we reached the top, we got a shock of our lives! We couldn’t see beyond an inch, there is a huge downpour and visibility is zero as the building is surrounded by fog.

Waiting for the skies to clear. Hong Kong is slowly but surely showing up. To eat: Honolulu café 檀島咖啡餅店 – 3.2 stars, budget 176-178 Hennessy Road, Wan chai, Hong Kong This place is walking distance from our hotel. We didn’t order much except for bolo butter bun and egg tart. ...

To do: Fa Yuen Street Market and Cooked Food Centre  花園街市政大廈 123A Fa Yuen Street Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong  The wet market is very structured and has 3 levels. The top served food not unlike our hawker, 2 nd floor sells pork and vegetables and the first floor is all the seafood.  There is a few roast stalls on the first floor as well. It was interesting to see how things are sold differently in HK.  Particularly the fishes. The fishes look exceedingly fresh. Some stalls have the fishes laid out others have fresh fish placed in tank. The fish with the maw is displsyed for all to see.  The vegetables all look exceedingly fresh. The pork is all hanged up. This is a scene we rarely see in Singapore nowadays. The cooked food centre (da pai dang) looks like a good place to eat as well. A little similar to our hawker centre concept.  The Peak Tram, Lion pavilion lookout, Peak Galleria Garden Road Peak Tram Lower Terminus ...
