2011 April Hong Kong (Day 3)

23 April 2011 Saturday


This morning there is a slight drizzle in the air. I took advantage of the free yoga lesson provided by the hotel. It was great as I'm the only person for the class so I got personalise lesson. The lesson lasted for 1hr. Went to have a look at the pool and it look so good, overlooking the waters.I need to get Craig to move his arse to the pool.
      
We are running out of money today so we had to look for money changes. Note that the money changes in TST doesn't give good rates. If you move further away to Yau Ma Tei you will get better rates. We decided to return to one of the restaurant that didn't offered Dim Sum last night. 3Floor in Carnarvon Plaza. Once you step out of the lift, you will see the restaurant entrance.

Since it is recommended by many on the internet, I would expect it to be quite nice. We've ordered the usual and here's our verdict (http://palatereview.blogspot.com/2011/05/tao-heung-tsim-sha-tsui-hong-kong.html)

  

Next we headed for a foot massage. 50mins for $108HKD. It cost more than most of the places(like $38, $58 or $88) but at least this place you can see from the street and it's definitely a clean one. There are mostly males doing the massage. Being scared by the experience in Macau, Craig wanted me to find out if we have to give tips and the manager said it's up to us. We told her our experience in Macau and she said she didn't have a good experience in the restaurant in Macau as well. They couldn't be bothered to serve her and told her she can leave if she want. She explained there are too many tourist in Macau and losing one person's business is not a big deal to them.

 Typical Hong Kong housing

Next couple of hours are just roaming the shopping streets and markets and looking at (interesting) things.

Street Markets in Hong Kong

 We haven't been eating proper meals at proper times these few days in hong kong. Craig's dinner tonight is 2 scoops of ice-cream at Galare (I had some of cos) and his favourite waffle egg. There's always a queue here at night and you need to get a token when you ordered. The staff will yell out your number to collect. It's freshly made on the spot and it taste absolutely fantastic. I went for the fish ball noodle soup again. It is so tasty(especially after adding some white pepper to the soup/broth). Good they have take away containers and it was a yummy late meal for me again. Muffin top becoming bigger in no time.
