Post Hongkong Trip 2010 - Day 2 ~ Lantau Island + Citygate

After a gloomy and rainy day in Hongkong, here is my 2nd day recount of my HK trip.


- Went to Kam Wah Cafe 金華冰廳  at Prince Edward
Famous for their Polo Bun & Egg Tarts..
And their Polo Bun is sooooo good that i wish i can fly back to HK again to have a bite of their polo bun...


Kam Wah Cafe is located right on the busy Bute Street, which can easily be spotted due to the crowds outside the restaurant taking away the delicious Polo Buns and other pastries.
How to get there: MTR Prince Edward, Exit B3
Since it's a Sunday, it's usually crowded with their local people and it's a common practice to share table.

The best polo bun i've even tasted!!!!

Whole set of breakfast just cost me HK$28

My morning can't do without - Milk Tea!

-Next we went to Lantau Island to view the big Buddha, after spending about 2hrs ++ to purchase the cable ticket and to board the cable car... I finally reach Lantau Island, Ngong Ping Village at about 3.30 - 4pm... 
Make our way to climb the long flight of stairs to view the Buddha.. many people say that if one were to look carefully, it seems that the Buddha has close his eyes not wanting to see how evil we human beings are... 

E

Although many hours was spent queing up, but the trip to Ngong Ping Village is really enlightening.. Especially 1 of the show that is included in the package.. Walk with the Budhha..

 End of the show, we were brought to this place, can't remember the full name.. but something Wisdom.. N one of the quotes were..

"In this world, hatred is never overcome by hatred.

Only tolerance can prevail over hatred, This is an enternal truth"

So off we went to que up to take the cable car back to Tung Chung station.. again it's another 1hr to board the cable car .. and the whole journey take about 25 mins.. But the night view was great and it could be better if that day's weather wasn't soo foggy.

Didn't purchase any bags in the Citygates Outlets.. Just 2 tops from Espirit..
Although the price at outlet compare to Singapore's boutique are much cheaper than after i've been to the outlets in States. I still find those that are selling in states are soo much cheaper.. So maybe i shall start saving $$ again for another trip to USA!

Right after Citygates, we went back to our hotel for a short refresh. From Tung Chung MTR to alight at Lai King to change mtr to Jordan. Hongkong's MTR are really so convientiant.

After a short re-charge at our hotel room, we went to venture Temple's Street... and of cos Da Pang Dong!
