HK trip part III

Disclaimer: This will be a long entry. Do bear with me. =)

On this third day of our trip, we finally managed to go Macau. Before the start of our day, we went to Garden Restaurant near our hotel for a dim sum breakfast.



Most Hong Kong-ers are early birds. Reaching the restaurant around 8 in the morning, we can see many people already there, eating breakfast and reading newspapers.

Ferries to the nearby islands can be taken at the Star Ferry Pier. It takes roughly an hour to travel from HK to Macau.

The famous pork chop bun is available at Tai-pa (pronouce as 'Tam Zai'), an area away from the central. After taking 3 buses (we took a wrong one and my foot was caught by the door!) we finally reached our destination!



The famous Tai Lei Loi Kei Cafe selling all kinds of delicacies including po lou bao, beef noodles, and many more!



It wasn't time yet for the pork chop buns, so Jo and I ordered po lou bao and yin yang. Not wanting to waste time, we decided to walk around the area.



Streets of Tai-pa.



The legendary bird nest egg tart!



Food from the heaven! Heh!



As expected, the queue start forming and it's not even 3pm yet. You can see how famous the bun is. Not wanting to lose out, I quickly joined the queue. It was quite an experience; feeling all excited to get my hands on the buns.



Finally got the buns! Hot and smells nice! Hooray!



Marinated to perfection, the meat is tender and juicy. I find the bun a little hard, but it's normal since it is freshly out from the oven. Both the pork chop and bun are prepared by the cafe itself, not bought from outside.



A bun worth my queue-ing! Yum yum!



To digest all the food, we went for another round of shopping.



A famous cake/cookie shop well-known in the area. Their almond biscuit is highly recommended.



How to make full use of the travelling time back HK? Cam-whore, of course!



After dinner, we went for desserts at the famous Xiu Liu Shan. You can find many outlets throughout HK, selling mostly mango and fruits items.



Mango ice-cream and glutinous riceballs in mango puree. (Don't think this is the exact name, but this is what I've eaten.)

Something interesting..



The ice-cream car in HK is so so different from ours. It's a mini van with all the equipments and utensils for selling ice-cream. So adorable!



The ice-cream cone we bought.
