My Shortest Ever HKG Trip

The past 2 weeks had been a nightmare. Frankly, I have never worked so late for the past few years of my working life. Call me a slacker, but I never believed in working late. It's an unhealthy bad habit that one should never start on. With the hectic work and the so many things that happened, I felt myself totally drained. I was physically and mentally tired. Then one fine morning, I found myself at the airport, making my way to HKG, making my own history for the shortest trip ever to HKG.

Kopi-o siu dai at 5am and a pensive me at the airport.

Luckily when I arrived in HKG, I found kind souls to put me up at their hotel haha. Thanks for letting me squeeze in your room dears! This bunch of people really made my short trip enjoyable with their full-of-nonsense, cam-whoring, fun-loving ways. Every moment we had there was eat eat eat laugh laugh laugh and shop shop shop (although some shopped more than the others la hahaha *guilty*). I was guilty of making them walk lots but I also brought them to some nice dessert places to make it up la hohoho.

Finally managed to find my fried 出前一丁！The last time I came with Mark, we walked in circles in Mongkok but couldn't find it (cos I was looking for the same shop front I saw last year, with the big wok of fried noodles and the 出前一丁mascot only to know that they renovated the shopfront liao...grrr). This time, I found the shop in a flash. The name of the shop is 车仔面. Ordered a variety of dishes to share and the funny thing about this trip is, before eating, everyone (and i mean each and everyone of us) will whip out our cameras to take pics of the food. Think everyone else must be thinking we are very sua ku!

Shortly after, we headed for my all-time favourite 许留山for desserts. I have been craving for my mango for the longest time already!! These were what we ordered and slurped up in no time....
