Before the school starts..
Two more days before the school starts and everyone is going out like crazy now! I know people who just decided to go Macau or fly to Korea these few days just because they can. As for me, I like HK too much so I’m going to explore this place first before going to China or elsewhere.
On Saturday, I went out with two other Malaysians who have been there for a long time! We went to Causeway Bay for some makeup shopping! Mmm now we’re talking business.
In the mini bus to the city. Mini busses are like vans and it’s so funny cause you have to shout for the driver to stop whenever you want to stop and the first few days, I was so nervous to do that! I would practice what I wanted to shout over and over again in my head and then miss my stop wtf
Causeway Bay and the sea of people! I’m always so amused by the amount of people. Not irritated, don’t hate it, but very amused.
I actually quite enjoy the crowd! Makes me feel alive somehow.
Causeway Bay at night. The streets are actually very cooling cause shops from left and right will blast their aircon so if you walk in the middle, it feels so nice!
Stopped by the famous Hui Lau San for their famous mango lo. HLS is like HK’s version of starbucks!
Citrine my amazing guide and I.
Debra who is also from Malaysia!
Mmmmmm
To be honest, it’s good but expensive too! $40 for this (RM20) and I actually didn’t feel like it’s amazing or anything.
Dim Sum the next morning! The siew mais are reaaally good. The meal cost us $60 per person ouch!
Super yummy roast goose and char siew. Suuuuper yummy!
Famous egg tarts from Tai Cheong Bakery!
Quite expensive for an egg tart ($4.50) but it’s so goddamn worth it I tell you. Seriously I’m like a HUGE fan of egg tarts and I’ve tried sooo many egg tarts from all over but nothing beats this. It does look a little gross here but it’s fucking orgasmic and the pastry is so soft and crumbly and the egg part is pure heaven. (pardon my french but it was thaaat good)
Shit I should have gotten more but what the heck I have 4 months here! Breakfast lunch dinner!
Went to the beach next! I didn’t want to go at first cause it was 2pm and it was soooo hot and I hate beaches but I told myself that I cannot be lazy or I’ll end up having no friends and will have to stay in my room and eat alone forever wtf
Beach was like 15 minutes away. What is there not to like about Hong Kong?
This is Michael doing the funniest thing ever. He was digging a hole to make a seat for himself hahahahha. He says EVERYone in Germany does it! Damn cool ok!
Andrew and a girl with her tongue out wtf. He’s such a bad camwhore cause he didn’t wait for me to get ready first T_T
The rest getting ready to swim. We’re a pretty diversed group actually! We have people from Korea, Germany, Netherlands, France, UK, America and Malaysia (me)!
Michael took my camera and snapped a picture of Jon and his..uh..nipples wtf
And someone’s butt..Maybe he secretly likes guys wtf
I see he’s very proud of his manmade seat hahaha
Had Ajisen Ramen for dinner and it was sooo good! So much better than the one in Malaysia mmm!
Ok that’s all I’ve been doing lately. I also went clubbing on Friday night but I forgot to bring my camera to capture this very very rare moment! Seriously pictures of Suet clubbing is like worth a million dollars cause it only happens once in a blue moon wtf
But that’s all about to change soon….jeng jeng jeng
Ah I can’t wait to go to Mongkok and Shenzhen!!!
No related posts.
OMG how weird, I just made Portuguese egg tarts yesterday, and just finished munching on one a minute ago.
Glad you’re having fun!

Tai Cheong egg tart is the BESTTTTT! miss it so much…more than 8 months since I last had it! The dim sum at Lin Heong Lau at Wellington Street, Central is veli good too! Do give it a try while you are there!
Ahhhhhhhh I miss HK sooooo sooooooooo much!
Go to Hou Wan (or is it Hou Choi) for dim sum at Yau Ma Tei. It’s within walking distance from YMCA Int House.
Btw, you should try a drink from HLS. I forgotten the name but its got like mangoes, jellies and its very colourful wan!! <— sorry I know this ain’t helpful T_____T
its always very nice to be out with people from different country. you get to learn loads of things and talk crap with them (at least for me it is…). the food in hongkong really is expensive.
ah Liew! HK is really amazing…make the most in this 4months
i miss hui lau san and the road side dirty bbq food wtf
go visit the little islands around HK&Kowloon if can, there’s one called ChiongZao ( long state wtf )…and those markets, yup, markets…they have REALLY fresh seafood…like half-cut fish also very active moving…and prawns jumping wtf

Today, I went to have tacos at the taqueria. I was proudly wearing my Mexico t-shirt to fit in. Then I realized I wasn’t in a busy happening city nor at the beach. MLIA.
you have only like been there for such a short time, but it feels to me that u been there for quite some while…
haha going all around the places to eat excellent stuffs…the egg tart do look good…well, Malaysia have their own good tarts, but it can’t beat the origin of that..

Egg tarts, my faveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
And mango omgomgomg
Notice how all my comments are on the food lol… the next thing that interests me most is, shopping, whr are the bargains?? hehe
Hey Suet!!
What hall are you staying at?
I’m staying at Suen Chi Sun and nearby there are some shops selling noodles /meals for $10 a bowl. Also if you set the temp to 25 Celsius the aircon can run all day but ofcourse you shouldn’t leave it on all day! So the credits would probably last for a while. And if you shop in Mong Kok the clothes are super cheap!! I can show you around sometime if you want!
I Love Your Life!
DD
Not yet buy any makeup ah???
wah u’re definitely in a happy mode for this post! Hahaa, the egg tarts really do look orgasmic! and the ramen too! Ahhh, food makes people happy eh? Hehe

Its usually quite daunting when you have to hit the restart button in new places. But you seem to be handling things pretty well!
I’ve got a BBC(britishbornchinece) friend who used to go to HKU(2 years ago) and now he’s working in HK. I’d thought it’d be nice if you have a friendly face to answer any HKU related or HK related questions. Lemme know!
Enjoy the experience!
