Just got back last night from our HK trip. Managing a total count of 11 (2 were first timers) is really tough, but they enjoyed the trip kahit 3rd time na namen dun.
Day 1 - Mabait ang mga IO sa Terminal 2, maybe because maaga pa like mga 5am haha!
Tried the City Bus in going to Wan Chai. Super convenient and ganda ng view unlike nung nag Airport Express kame before which was a hassle because of the transfers.
We ate lunch sa Dim Dim Sum, masarap nga talaga. We strolled sa Granville Road dami namen nabili then ate dinner sa Cafe De Coral Mongkok. Pretty decent and cheap tapos dami pang serving, hirap tuloy ubusin kase nag kanya-kanya kameng order. Oh well lesson learned hehe! Then nag stroll lang sa Fa Yuen Street up until 10 pm-ish. Masarap mamili kapag closing na ng stores, sarap tumawad. My mom haggled for a really nice coat sa Argyle Center from 299 HKD naging 150 HKD na lang lol.
Hinabol namen closing time ng Wellcome kase we bought food for breakfast since we'll be going to church the next day.
Malamig pa rin kaya sarap pa rin maglakad-lakad. Ang sakit lang talaga sa paa haha!
Day 2 - Started late for we want a laid-back trip and also napagod kame maglakad nung Day 1 haha! Had breakfast sa flat, ham/sausages from Wellcome na ang sarap talaga ever since.
My sister went to Prizemart na walking distance lang, and nag-enjoy daw sha dun. 9am nag tram kame ng brother ko to Admiralty for us to be able to transfer to TST and got our tickets sa GC. Sarap talaga mag tram lalo na pag hindi rush hour hehe. Naglakad-lakad pa kame sa TST area then before 11am nasa flat na kame sa Wan Chai, sinundo companions for nagsimba kame 11:30 am. Nag tram lang rin kame since the church is just around Wan Chai.
After mass naglakad-lakad kame around the vicinity then we just bought lunch at Paisano's Pizza in Wan Chai, ate at the flat then rested for a bit. Masarap yung pizza nila, sulit pa.
Pwede na for 2 persons pero kapag boys kumain, sakto lang sa kanila yun hehe! Bumili pala kame ice scramble sa Hennessy Road, Ice Licious name for 10HKD, masarap rin naman pero nagsisi kame kase malamig nga haha!
4pm umalis na kame then went to Cityplaza Taikoo, pinasyal ko lang sila para naman maiba ang vibes pero nagtagal sila sa Bossini kase sale yung pants for men they grabbed the opportunity.
Nag North Point kame pagkatapos since wala sila nagustuhan sa Fa Yuen St. nung Day 1, so pumunta kame sa Nike outlet. Di lang pala Nike andun so ikot to the max, halos lahat dun bumili ng shoes including me. Hubby and me bought a pair of shoes each in Reebok. I bought mine for 200 HKD, his was 215 HKD pero maganda ang design.
The others bought at Nike, pero kame hindi kase di ko gusto mga shoes nila dun di pa bagay saken nung nagsukat me lol.
Siguro mga 6:30pm kame nakasakay MTR to Central. Dapat tram kaso rush hour, may sakit ang father bear ko sa paghihintay kahit gusto ko mag-bus ayaw nya kase may pila haha! While walking to North Point station, nadaanan namen Maxim's bumili kame egg tart 6 pcs for 20 HKD. We just tried it, masarap naman.
Since it's a Sunday, ang daming tao sa Central shempre mostly mga kababayan natin.
Nagsisi si mother bear, may hawker ng bags dun sa paakyat sa exit B, di sha nakabili and di nya na rin nabalikan lol. Mas mura kase Giordano dun, I think, kaya dun ulit kame pumunta. After that we went sa tinatawag nilang alley-alley just across Giordano. Since it was past 7pm, halos lahat ng stores closed na pero meron pa rin kameng mga naabutan. Dun ulit ako bumili bag pasalubong para sa MIL ko which is 65 HKD, and yung doll/walking shoes ko na worth 95 HKD sarap kase sa feet. Last time ganung style rin binili ko. The others bought yung mga usual keychains, ref magnets and the likes. For me, mas gusto ko talaga dito mag pasalubong shopping than sa Ladies Market.
Umuwi na rin kame after since we were so hungry na. Binaba muna mga pinamili then ate at Yoshinoya na walking distance lang. Masarap yung beef curry nila.
Affordable rin yung food dito with drink na rin, ranging from 30-50 HKD. Went home na but some of us opted to walk around the area, especially to buy sa fave namen na siu mai dun sa stall beside Wellcome sa may Johnston Road. Bumili ulit kame ng stock na malalaking water for 16HKD each, super okay talaga sa Wellcome pati mga candies dito kame nabili.
By the way, sa Wan Chai exit A1-A2 kame lagi nagpapapalit kase dito kame nakakita sa lahat ng nadaanan namen na good rates. USD is 7.70 something tapos PHP naman is 0.15 something (0.14 halos sa iba).
Next time na continuation, mashado ng mahaba kwento ko haha!
