Shopping day with Auntie at Causeway Bay. Bf spent 2 hours, or even more at Zara. Never done that as a girl before..
SML @ Causeway Bay:
I didn't know the tea time menu means extremely small portions. Was thinking wow so 'dai' before I popped in, and couldn't understand why Auntie insisted on ordering more. The food was great, just wished the portions were bigger! This restaurant markets itself as an Italian Western restaurant, but they have everything from American to Asian. Confusing. It is amusing that they sell their mascot doll for about $20AUD, upon spending a rather extravagant amount at their store.

千両 @ Causeway Bay:
Everything was overpriced. Served only the heads for the garlic grilled prawns. Seriously.

Finally he agrees for a picture with me.
Day 16 (9.3.2015):
My sister came to Hong Kong for a work trip, so I met up with her for dinner. Apparently she was so busy I have to meet her at the designated time and can't be even a tad late. Ending up searching for food in Wan Chai for 15 - 20 minutes as she was reluctant to go to Causeway Bay that was 1 stop away.. I am glad we managed to settle for some ramen later!
Kamitora Ramen @ Wan Chai:
Pretty average to me but probably amazing in Hong Kong.

Day 17 (10.3.2015):
Global Work Cafe by UCC @ Causeway Bay:
Seafood soy milk spaghetti! The Japanese Western cafe was located within the premises of the Japanese fashion brand Global Work. Didn't expect such a cafe to have amazing food but I was mistaken. Probably have to eat the spaghetti with every mouthful of soup for its best taste, but I gobbled the spaghetti before drinking the soup. Hits ownself on head.

Food wasn't bad here, other than the top tray of the Chinese high tea looking set was cucumbers with sauce smeared across. That was kind of disappointing.

Day 18 (11.3.2015):
We received a free high tea for 2 coupon from Auntie to dine at the Intercontinental Hotel!
Lobby Lounge, Intercontinental Hotel @ Tsim Sha Tsui:
The view of Hong Kong's skyline from the Lobby Lounge was splendid! We even saw the traditional red Hong Kong sail boats, in other words a 'junk'. I loved the bottom tray of the high tea set - foie gras toast again. Bf enjoyed the scones and the middle tray was too sweet to our liking - personal preferences. I particularly liked their Marco Polo tea, even better than Madagascar Vanilla.

Caught up with some Sydney friends and played 3 rounds of Mahjong after drinks. Bf lost too much and didn't want to let them off. I was so sick and tired, but definitely satisfied from playing mahjong again. Probably wouldn't be able to touch them for the rest of the year.
Greyhound Cafe @ Tai Koo:
Practically everything on their menu was spicy, and I thought this dish 'Miss Saigon' was not. No mentions of spicy or chilli in its description. I was wrong! Hence, a bad experience for me. Still, their ordinary looking Greyhound Famous Fried Chicken Wings marinated in fish sauce was unbelievably good.

太古太古城中心二期地下007號舖Sugar @ Tai Koo
Nice scenery and ambience. It felt like we were on the 70th floor even though it was on level 32. Not sure if I was too hungry but their snacks - the bratwursts were so yummy! I have this concept that pubs never have good food. I liked the Flirtini bf ordered. He ordered girls' drinks again.

Last few days of shopping in Hong Kong. Couldn't forget about the kitty socks I saw in Monki, so I had to go back to get them!
Ishiyaki+ Cafe @ Mongkok:
Ordered the dinner set for 2. Everything was good here, even the salad! What stood out for me was the Baked Potato Skins with Codfish Roe and Cheese.

Day 20 (13.3.2015):
We went to Causeway Bay again.
The design of the Uniqlo store at Lee Gardens is incredibly unique. Space-themed with enclosed fashion product displays and floating mannequins!
Ordered Durian Pancake at the dessert store located in the food court near Lane Crawford. Received it in a ready packed Honeymoon Dessert plastic packaging, labelled with expiry date. Thought I was going to receive some freshly made pancake, but no. Still, the durian pancakes were great unexpectedly!
Subsequently, we had soft serve with some danish biscuit toppings from the store right opposite the food court. Simple and delicious.
Day 21 (14.3.2015):
Bf flew back to Sydney, stopping over at Singapore for a day. We had to wait for each other for about 2 hours as we took different flights.
See you again soon in Hong Kong.
