The Peak (Part 2) Hong Kong

Here we are up at the Peak on 17 March 2018. However it was cloudy and cold. So we took a few pictures and visited the shops instead.

Queuing for the Tram ride back- it was a long queue - luckily it didn't rain.

The Peak ( Part1) Hong Kong

 We queued for almost an hour just to see the peak. This is having booked online for tickets and with a guide just to bring us to the tram ride. I heard if we didn't book online it would have been a 3 hours wait. However pity that day it was cloudy. 

 

Many say if there is only one thing you can do in Hong Kong, go to The Peak. This is the highest point on Hong Kong Island, and has been the city’s most exclusive neighbourhood since colonial times. However the crowd is really a turnoff to visit the attractions in Hong Kong.

Look at the crowd

63 @ Paragon

 Pat & Anthony

 We chanced upon 63 located at #04-09, Paragon. It was past 8.30pm and the place was quiet. The food was good and so was the service. 

 Chicken Rice - Comfort food

It's been a while since I had chicken rice. Juicy meat and the chili and ginger complimented the meal.

 Steak with Fries

 Chocolate Lava cake with ice-cream

Tugged in a corner at Paragon, I hope this place survives. We have seen many opening of new F&B places and when we revisit the place, the cafes/ restaurants no longer exist.

 It's great catching up with friends and spending quality time with Joan and Jenny in the month of February 2018. Here we are gathered at our yearly gathering before CNY to view the dog displays of Chinatown. We decided to have steamboat at Shi Li Fang located at Chinatown Point.

Tea Time@Tsui Wah (Hong Kong)

When in Hong Kong, one must find time to have tea. It's all about food and shopping in Hong Kong. After our lunch, as I was still feeling a little hungry, we adjourned to the tea place - none other than Tsui Wah Restaurant.

Tsim Chai Kee (Hong Kong)

We touched down in Hong Kong on 17 March 2018. It was my first time to Hong Kong. Eunice my travel mate took care of me during the trip and showed me around Hong Kong. It was an early morning flight. By the time we reached Hong Kong, It was close to 1pm, after waiting for the hotel's shuttle bus and checking in to the hotel, it was close to 2pm. We had initially arranged to have lunch at another place, but by the time we arrived, they were closed for lunch. Hence we scheduled that for dinner instead. For a quick bite for 2 hungry ladies, we chanced upon Tsim Chai Kee located at 98 Wellington Street. Central, Hong Kong, China.

 Lunch Time
Noodles served with three different toppings - shrimp wonton, beef slices and fish ball.

 

A bowl of King Prawn Wonton Noodle is at HKD$30 (SGD$5). The shrimp wantons comprise of fresh chunky prawns and it gives a tasty crunch on every bite.

 The fresh sliced beef slices were juicy and tender.
