This year is different, very different. Gone were the carefree days where we roam the busy streets of Mong Kok to shop. Now every activity is planned to coincide with the feeding patterns of one little rascal ...
25 Nov - Midnight Flight to HK
They only offered the midnight flight for the discounted tickets. Even for the odd hour, it was fully packed flight. Pity the folks sitting around us as we try to pacify Emily as best as we could. I might opt out of midnight flights again until kids are older.
Thankfully Papa had already arrive earlier with Nyama so we had a room to crash for a couple of hours before checking into ours. Emily held her bottle for the first time. She seems to have grown up for this trip.
As usual the first stop is a trip 七喜 to see grandma. Somehow Emily couldn't warm up to great grandma and cried every time she was brought close to her. Today was also the first time she's having her own bread.
We ended the day takeaways from a nearby restaurant. There was no way we could eat out with Emily. And everyone was beat from the flight.
26 Nov - Meet and Greet Continues
Breakfast at the usual coffee place. This is the only place in HK that I would finish a 菠蘿油 all on my own. Even Honolulu Cafe's cannot compete with it. OO knows it's good too hehe.
Meimei made sure we squeeze in a trip to Diaso in Mong Kok. It's her latest craze, lucky it's only $2 an item. After that we had Yum Cha with PoPo at Wan Chai. It's planned by Papa and Mama so we couldn't say no. I suppose its important to keep in touch with friends and family, even if we only meet once a year.
27 Nov - The Fake Michelin
We braved the temptation to stay near the hotel today and went all the way to Wan Chai for our favourite Honolulu Cafe. We've been here every time we are in HK for their egg tart. We only had time to tabao some for dinner at 七喜. But still I'm proud to report that it's still as good as ever.
I can't say the same for Yung Kee's legacy though. Kam's Roast Goose at Wan Chai was supposed to be the 'successor' having obtain a 2015 Michelin Star while the original Yung Kee lost it. I must say it is an extremely bad pretender. I cannot see how it can be a Michelin, the roast goose was horrible. It was tough and tasteless. Gone were the days of Yung Kee when the roast goose was rich and succulent. Emily's not impressed either haha .. Yuck~!
