Had $5 Cheung Fun (steamed rice flour roll, with a mixture of sauces: peanut butter like sauce, soy sauce and “Sweet Sauce” which is red in colour) for breakfast. It’s very filling as it’s mostly carbohydrate and fat. #Note to self: no more Cheung Fun tomorrow!! Wouldn’t want to sabotage my figure and let my pretty dresses go to waste!!#
Had a haircut in a nearby saloon in the morning, haircut+wash+blowdry=$69. It’s actually considered quite reasonable in HK. Went with my grandma. It’s the chineses’ tradition to buy new clothes, have a haircut, cleanup the house and stock up on groceries before the new year (Chinese new year). The people here follow the Chinese Lunar calendar, so it’s still considered the end of the year over here in Hong Kong even though it’s almost the end of January. And according to the Chinese Lunar calendar, I’m supposed to be 23 years old instead of 22( I’m born in 1983).
Went to Tuen Mun Town City this afternoon. It’s a half an hour’s bus ride. I went there with my 2 aunts, we took the bus no. 58M, $7.20 for a ride. And again, I used the Octopus card(actually, I hadn’t seen anyone use cash for bus rides yet J . So it’s advisable to get an Octopus card when travelling in HK). On our way there, had a glimpse of the Tsing Ma Bridge. The view was spectacular. The weather today was kinda cloudy, temp. around 19-21℃. Just nice. J
Tuen Mun Town City is a shopping arcade in Tuen Mun (it’s in New Territory). Hong Kong is divided into 4 major areas- New Territory, Kowloon, Hong Kong Island and other islands like Cheung Chau, Lantau Island and Lamma Island. The usual taxis in Hong Kong are red in colour, green-coloured taxis can only be seen in New Territories. J
Had lunch in a very posh Chinese restaurant. The food is just wonderful!! YUM! J and $198++ for 4 person!! Shopped for a while, tried on a few pair of boots. Quite pretty but I don’t think it’s suitable to wear in KL( Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia L ), all are at 60% off!! So the best time to shop in HK is either before or after Chinese New Year. The stuff are actually cheaper after Chinese New Year ;) but it’s kinda sad ‘cos the stuff on sale right now are mostly for winter.
Plan to go to Tsim Sha Tsui again if it doesn’t rain tomorrow.
