HongKong-20090831

It’s the last day of our tour.

We decided to pack our things ready, check-out, and then dumped our luggage with the bell service, and then went off for the rest of the day until time for airport.

We went again to Causeway Bay, because my Karinna wants to eat some food there. We ended up at a porridge stall, the same one we went the last time we were here in HK. The food there is good actually, and they have this chee cheong fun with you char kueh in it.

After our brunch, we walked around the shopping centres there before making our way to The Peak.
Took the train to Central station, walked to the tram station.
Was a little surprised that there are charges now for the tram ride. My memory seems to remember that the tram rides up to the peak were free.
Maybe times have changes, and they want to make more profit from it.
Since we were there already, we just went ahead with it.
I guess maybe it's the afternoon time that we were there, the view was not particular great. Still nice, but without the night lights.
With night lights and cool breeze, it's normally better.
Also, the city was somehow a little more hazy than we expected, so there are parts that were sort of 'blurry'.

We took the tram down just before 3pm. From there, walked towards Lan Kwai Fong, and to this street called Wellington Street.
Why? Food! :P

Walked to this place called Mak's Restaurant, which supposedly serve very nice Won Ton Noodle. We ordered 1 won ton mee, and 1 shrimp dumpling noodle. At the end of our meal, we ordered another dish, which is the tender beef meat and tendon.
Wow! The beef is delicious!

With the meal, we went back to our hotel to take our luggage. Dragged our luggage to take the free shuttle to Kowloon station, and then bought the train ticket to the Airport.
