We departed on Monday, 12 March from SIN-HKG on SQ flight. As usual, SQ flight is good and entertaining. As we were on the new B777-300 series, it was really a very good overall experienced. Then from HKG Airport, we were transferred to Shenzhen Sheraton Hotel. For 3 days we had our event there. Well, i don't really like Shenzhen,so not gonna write much of it...hee : P
Day 1: Discover Hong Kong
On Wednesday, 14 March, we went back to HKG Airport and my colleagues left for SIN while my vacation starts from here. I waited at the HKIA for mom and anthea arrivals. They arrived around 4pm and we took the Airport Express to Kowloon Station. From here we took the FREE shuttle bus service to our hotel, Miramar Hotel. I am really impressed with Hong Kong Public Transport systems . They are so efficient.
After checking in the hotel, we went for dinner. There are so many restaurants around our hotel and finding food is not a problem.Afer dinner, we went back to the hotel to rest and get ready for the next day.
Day 2 - Magical Day at DISNEYLAND
Woke up and had a nice local breakfast, i went around and da-bao back the breakfast. After breakfast, we started our day to Disneyland. We went via the MTR and it was really easy to get around with. Once we reached Disney, Anthea was totally engrossed with the Disney characters.
She had a very fun time and was busy taking photos with all the characters. We saw Mickey, Minnie, Pluto etcs. Plus all her PRINCESS - Snow White, Beauty, Cinderella, Mermaid etcs. We went for a few rides and finally ended the day with the Disney Parade. End of the day, we were all exhausted but felt very happy as it's been a MAGICAL day for us.
We went for a swim when we reached the hotel as Anthea kept requesting for it. Thereafter, dinner was at a Porridge restaurant near our hotel. Food in Hong Kong is generally of good taste and big quantity, so we really enjoyed it.
Day 3 - Ocean Park Deluxe
After breakfast, we set off for Ocean Park. It was quite easy to get there on our own. Anthea saw the Sharks and Coral Aquarium. As it was a Friday, they had a 11.30am Dolphin Show, we were really very lucky, otherwise will need to wait till 3.30pm for weekdays. After the show, we went back to the lowland via the Cable Car and Anthea enjoyed the cable ride. This is her FIRST Experience on Cable Car and i must said - She took it really well.
After Ocean Park, we headed to Causeway Bay for lunch and also to buy "老 婆 饼". I managed to find the famous Hang Heung Cake shop, recommended by my cousin. We were not disappointed, the biscuits are Delicious and Fresh.
We met Cherry, who is working in Hong Kong for a month, in her hotel Island Shangri-La in the evening. She brought us to this very posh and nice restaurant in IFC for dinner. The name of the restaurant is Cuisine Cuisine. The food was delicious and service was TIP-TOP. She also bought. Another brand of the biscuits for us to try. After dinner, we said goodbye to Cherry and went back to our hotel.
Another power packed and fun filled day.
Day 4: Home Sweet Home.
In the morning, on recommendation of the hotel, i managed to find a restaurant nearby for "Yum Cha", the dim sum was good and anthea enjoyed the porridge very much. After a hearty breakfast, we checked out of the hotel and got ready for our departure flight back to Singapore. We took the free shuttle from hotel to Kowloon Station and we did a Down Town Check in. After that we traveled on the airport express from the Kowloon to Airport, all in good comfort.
Flight back to Singapore was smooth and upon reaching Singapore, our welcome gang was at the arrival hall waiting for us. As usual, the warmth of the family is felt upon arrival. Anthea was so happy to see all of them and started to relate all her Hong Kong experienced to her favorite "ye ye".
Overall, this has been a wonderful trip for me and I am really happy that Anthea and mom had a good time in Hong Kong. Only regret is - we had no time to SHOP...so i know for sure "I will be back in Hong Kong".
