I have had enough of Hong Kong food.
I can safely say that since day 3 of day 5 in Hong Kong and I am already sick of Hong Kong food.
Well, Hong Kong is very similar to New York. Except I think more crowded, and more comfortable for my family because its an Asian country. Moreover, the food is really not that much different or better from Singapore’s. I think there’s a limit to how tasty dishes can get. There are some things I think are better in Singapore than HK, like the har kau and fishball noodles.
I stayed in Regal Oriental Hotel, Kowloon City, and the hotel itself was okay except that it was under renovation so the view from my hotel room were scaffolds. The other disadvantage is that it is really far from the shopping areas e.g. Mongkok. The fastest way to Mongkok is taxi and it costs about 30HK dollar, but to Tsim Sha Tsui is about 60 HK dollar. There is a bus to Mongkok from outside the hotel, and it costs 6HK dollar. But the drivers can be a little reckless. Next to the hotel are many small shops and there are some good places for yum cha too.
One thing good about HK is the information board of the MTR line in the MTR itself. There are little bulbs next to the stations and it lights up or blinks etc when the train is at the respective stops etc. This is better than Singapore’s one where only an announcement is made. This is so much clearer.
No matter what, I still like my good ole Singapore. The variety of food here is so much better and so is the crowd level. In HK, some of the roads are closed just so pedestrians can walk on them. HAHA. Photos coming soon – hopefully!
And and… congratulations to Stanley and Madeline!
