Random Thoughts: Lost in Hongkong

After going to the awesome flower show at Victoria Park, we headed straight for Tung Chung. Going from Causeway Bay to Tung Chung a 20 minute ride at the MTR. After nine stops (and a MTR transfer) we finally made it to the Citygate Outlets. Basically, Tung Chung is just a big shopping mall on sale.

It's kind of embarrassing taking a photo at a mall....

European and American designer brands are sold here at a lesser rate than its original price - but what I like about here, all is authentic, so no-worries about what you're buying is fake or original. I immediately bought as much Esprit shirts and Crocs Sandals as I can. Well, I admit that were not that well-off, so I skipped the European brand stores... My sister bought herself a new bag and wallet from Nine West for her bragging - then the usual sibling bantering comes in. Anyway, after we strolled around the mall and buying stuff, we decided to take a breather.

Of course, we wouldn't wanna miss all those Chinese dumplings! So we did! And man, it was really good.

Pork and Shrimp Dumpling, my all time favorite!

After our merienda, we decided to go back to Causeway Bay. Again, we rode the MTR from the Tung Chung station towards Causeway Bay to cram our stuff back inside the quarters.

After which, we rode the local Tram (for the first time - we had to take pictures) towards a restaurant we're eating dinner. Riding the tram was fun! Much like our jeepneys, except it's slower and has designated stops. The cost of one ride is 2.00HK$ for an adult, and 1.00HK$ for a child or a senior citizen.

Trams waiting for a go signal...

We dropped ourselves at Wan Chai for dinner. It seems that we weren't satisfied with our earlier dumpling affair to we decided to take it to the next level - a full dumpling dinner. There's a local restaurant along Johnston Road, at Wan Chai were we went that night. The restaurant was selling reasonably priced yet delicious dumplings - according to my mom. And behold, a 15 piece dumpling for 20.00 HK$! Not bad! We had the Pork and Watercress Dumpling, the Pot Stickers and a clear soup with meatballs in it- not sure what's name but it was delicious too. I resisted the urge to buy another set for me since it was really good and cheap. At any rate,after that miniature feast we were "dumpling-ly sated".
