Day 4 - A Wonderful Dinner

Yummy, yummy...Jason longed to taste this HK famous delicacy "Roast Geese" 烧鹅。We found one restaurant offered this dish, is located near Mong Kok.
We ordered one vege dish to make it a more balance diet:) They serve us Chinese tea in wine glass, it doesn't really matter, as the food was good. The bill came up to around HK150.
Look, they have 50% promotion but unfortunately not apply for Sat. and Sun:( and we going to leave on Monday nite.
After the dinner, we took "Gui Ling Gao"(龟龄膏) as dessert. We didn't choose 海天堂though it is very popular and common (so many outlets) in HK ( and recently open its 1st branch at Sunway). This shop is named 百宝堂, Jason and I like this jelly, taste very original.

Jason took picture in front of 百宝堂,nice feel.

Day 4 - Hawker Foods

A classic breakfast offered in the HK cafe, is called "餐前一叮",is actually fast food noodle plus ham, hot dogs and etc. Big portion, could be share for 2 pax.

Some of the fried snacks display at the hawker's stall. Didn't try any, 'cos still full.
We got this fish ball as part of our lunch, Jason liked it.
碗仔翅-another common HK delicacies, but this one not very delicious, a bit tasteless.

Ha,ha...long time didn't taste this 猪红(pork's liver) , mum used to cook this when I was a little girl.

Day 4- Bird Street

This green furry gentlemen is called "Char Siew". He was quite funny, trying to get our attention. The owner said he does not have any life partner yet as parrot are quite choosy. And they normally stick to one partner only.
This is "Nui Nui", a parrot with the wisdom of 6-years old kid. The owner said he was bought at an expensive price (5 figure). This parrot can sing, talk and "manja" with the owner as shown in the picture. HK Bird Street used to organize bird competition, but no longer popular now.
The backdrop of this picture tells you our location - Bird Street in HK. Is a nice wall painting, isn't it? They are mainly old man who kill their time by watching birds in this street. So, there are 2 types of famous bird (雀) in their daily life: 麻将(有时也称麻雀)及赏雀.
Look carefully, these are not ordinary dustbin, it means for the disposal of DEAD BIRD only.
Grasshoppers - the yummy food for the birds, but looks ugly.

Day 4- The Flower Street

Day 4 (20 Sept), Sat. - The Flower Street
Since the weather in Hong Kong was so hot, we decided not to go to Lantau Island again for the Gigantic Buddha. Instead, we want to visit the Bird Street (not bird park). Before reaching the Bird Street, we accidentally went into the Flower Street.

Yes, 鸟语花香,we enjoyed all the beautiful flowers before getting to the entrance of bird street.
Basically this is the wholesale market for fresh flowers, just like the one in Petaling Street, KL.
Mini green apple in one of the florist shop.
Wow, lovely orchid, I wish I could get this at home.
I guess their business are good since there are so many concerts and performance of the Superstar held in Hong Kong each year.

Day 3 - Breakfast - Dim Sum

This is one of the famous dim sum/ kuih in Hong
Kong called 马蹄桂花糕, often mentioned in the HK
TV series。It taste a bit sweet but nice to eat, I
like the ingredient of "water chestnut".
This the "King of prawn dim sum" (虾饺皇),
i guess the name is due to the big prawn size.
It taste very fresh (the prawn meat).
Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun. This one is too thick,
not smooth enough, I prefer the "HK Chee Cheong
Fun" that available in Malaysia.
Dim Sum (Pork mince with 2 types of mushroom),
portion were big. Taste above average.
P/s: Eating Dim Sum in HK, do not expect for any
Chili or tomato source, it just not a common practice.

Looks, the ambient of these restaurant is good,
looks like it is cater for wedding and other occasion
too.
Federal Palace Restaurant is one of the established
group of restaurant in HK, just like Tai Tong or
海外天 group of restaurant in Malaysia.

Day 2 - Time to say Good Bye

Yes, it's dinner time and we had these simple Chinese foods as our dinner. Not that expensive.

Halloween mode: The Pumpkin Men appear in
the special night Parade ( in conjunction of the
first day opening for Halloween Theme).

A very familiar scene in my memory, the fairy
castle that always appeared in the end of Walt
Disney Cartoon Program. The exciting moment:
We were waiting for the fire work to start at
9.30pm, hurray!

Jason loves this "Halloween" theme but it sounds
a bit scary for me in the begining of the visit.

Bye, HK Disneyland! Mickey Mouse in this
typical dress up, reminds me on the Mickey
Piggybank which launched by Standard Charted
Bank many years ago.

Day 2 - Disneyland Fantasy VI: Winnie the Pooh

Row, row the boat and we shall see Pooh and Tiger in the beautiful forest. Thumbs Up for the
nice setting in this Winnie Wonderland.

Who is your favourite? Winnie or Tiger?

Thanks to the funfilled world of Winnie the Pooh, at least we could escape from the hot sun for
awhile.
