On our morning walk to breakfast, we passed by this temple, which is just down the street from where Chris and Shiow Ling live. We had to take a picture because it was quite rare for the temple's shutters to be open and its inner courtyard is hardly ever seen.
Fast food, the chinese way. Shoot! I've forgotten the name of this restaurant chain.
The meal was so-so, but the pork saved the day.
Toast, ham and eggs.

On board the ferry to Hong Kong! Was quite excited. The ferry tickets were not cheap, but I feel it is indeed worth the price because the ferry 'ada standard', not like the lousy ones that we always use to get from mainland to the islands.
We are in Hong Kong! The place always seen from the countless TVB serials that I have watched. Note: there are a lot of hamsap/dirty magazines for sale at the newstands, but we were too stingy to buy one for the sake of 'market research'.
Out from the MRT Yau Ma Tei , we got lost! Should we turn left or right? Thank god SL speaks good canto and can read Chinese!
Just like on TV, eh?
Our humble accomodations. We actually went in from the car park area.
Receptionist: Vic-tar and Chris-TO-fer
Large ass picture of our small ass bathroom. Small, but very well designed and it is spotless.
Thumbs up for the room ambiance and decor. Small, but very comfortable. Won't go wrong in Dorsett Seaview (no sea view, of course). The hotel is also centrally located, a mere 10 minutes walk from the Yau Ma Tei MRT stop and if you are feeling like it, you can walk all the way to Ladies Street.

After dumping our bags in the rooms, we left on foot to explore Hong Kong. We walked and walked until we reached Ladies Street and erm... Sneakers Street? I don't know the exact name, all I know is that there are so many shops selling sneakers, sports shoes, sports attire, etc. All your Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Puma, Converse, Kappa, Lotto, and more on one easy street.

This was lunch at some random restaurant that we decided to try.

Ah! The famous mango dessert shop right opposite our hotel, Hui Lao Shan.
The reason why we headed back to our hotel after our walk was because we had stopped by Argyle Centre in Mongkok and well, I had accumulated quite a few shopping bags.

Onwards to Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) where we were treated to a 15-minute long dazzling display of lights and sound along Victoria Habour waterfront. I have the video somewhere, but looks like it will be quite a while before I come around to youtube-ing it.

I am so totally in love with this dessert and trust me, this is the one thing from HK that I crave for constantly.
