Hong Kong Macau Oct 1st->7th

We visit HK start from Oct 1st, without realizing that is National Day of China, as well golden vacation week for China... We witness a superb high density city, or tau fu yoon world (bean world).
For me, this a city of television, as i grow up with HK drama or movie, so a lot place is really sound fimiliar to me, just i never experience that...

Itamae Sushi, introduce by friend who staying HK for few years, her comment is the salmon is fresh. From Tung Choi Street, or Looi Yan Kai, turn left at Soy Street.... Then you shall see Itamae Sushi...
Cold noodle
Smoke salmon, i guess... me not really fans of sushi but i like this.... is juicy... is fresh... and the rice also tasted different...

Many people along convayer, don't know what is say... but here is Hong Kong....

Space utilization, back of the seat for order form, underneath of seat for your belongings... here is Hong Kong...


That day, one person only allow to order maximum 4 pcs of unagi or salmom, so we order 24... we really eat like buffet after back from Disney Land... Expencesses per person that is roughly RM20.

HK Day 4- Langham & Temple Street

This afternoon, we decide to spend some time shopping around mong kok.
After lunch at Yee Soon, we walk toward shopping area near Mong Kok MRT station. We pass by Kam Yu kai, walking along the street bring us closer to the life of Hong Kong...

There are a lot shopping mall here, but we choose to visit Langham Place, which suppose to be largest shopping mall at this area...
Bit suprise and impressed with architecture of this mall, 13 floor mall, they are escalator that bring you up to 5 or 6th floor directly, and another one up to 13 floor directly, you can enjoy the view inside and outside of the building. They are cinema here, and a lot fashion item at higher floor. Those lower floor are occupied by those branded shop....

My friends love Sasa... they found a lot skin care and cosmetic product is cheaper here compared to MY.... That's the reason why you can see Sasa everywhere... is a super duper chain shop...
Typical newspaper stall along the street with high density crowded...
Those bamboo on construction site are certified safe....

While waiting for girl enjoying with Sasa, i try to study those chess strategy for a while... you can earn some pocket money here as well...

Walk along Lady Street or Tung Chui Street again... People everywhere, even at day time....

Temple Street... a lot of handcraft here... like pasar seni... Temple street have a temple at middle, if you never walk pass temple, you are just half way... near by temple, you can see road show on opera. I have no luck to enjoy that, they just preparing when i'm there...

Another half of temple street have a lot claypot rice, pou chai fan.... and we visit this one... is an old building and old style restaurant, but the claypot rice really nice, even for the plane rice...

Building here is old and soon to be demolish... so this picture might become history after some time....

Again, is really a lot claypot rice here... not sure which one is original or most delicous... but i satisfy with the one i went....
