Day 2 - Avenue of Stars
On our first day, we went to visit Arena of Star...took a walk there....
Brr....it was cold but Ben refuse to put on his jacket...he kept taking it out...
...you can see the weather here also at the ports...very cloudy and misty as well...
..trying my best to wrap him up...
...nice statue here...
..this is how it looks like from far...
.....no need to explain...the floor here supposed to have the hand prints of famous actors and actresses...but it looks pretty run down....we can hardly see the hand prints already...since it was quite cold, we did not walk very far away...
First Dinner in HK
After taking a short break at the hotel, we were off to eat our dinner. Have to admit, it was darn cold in HK....you can see ben wrapped up in the sweater which luckily include the pants. No point to dress up either because we will all be wrapped up in our dreary sweaters.....

Ate at the Cafe de Corral which is next to the Chunking Mansion...quite nice. One is claypot paikut with rice. The other is minced beef with rice which reminds us a lot of spaghetti sauce put on top of rice instead of mee..! Nice part of the meal is that it comes along with the soup. Yahh...nice hot soup in cold weather. Reasonable too as it came out to about $40 each meal.
Charlie Brown Cafe
Nearby Park Hotel
Love Park Hotel Hong Kong very much. Location is very strategic...nearby is all the major shopping malls and outlets....you name it, they have it. Sasa, Bonjour, Mannings, Bossini, Giordano, etc...and it is near 2 MRT stops as well...one is East Tsim Tsai Tsui (East "TST") and the other is TST..
Ahhh...in the midst of the action...going to eat at nearby restaurant..very hungry...it was already 3pm...
..Ben playing drums with his chopsticks
..Alamak....it is all in Chinese...
hmmm...how like that...?
...look at my face of frustration.....never mind, got nice waitress to help out...
...Ahhh...food at last....I read in Tripadvisor that this place is popular for the fried lobak...ordered the chee cheong fun also...
...emm...not too bad lar...
...Ben had a wonderful time playing chopsticks the whole time. The restaurant is Tao Heung and is on the 3rd Floor, Camervon Building. The tim sum is quite nice and even at 3pm, there were a lot of filled up tables. Quite reasonable as well but the only negative part was the long waiting time for food to come. :( Maybe people in HK treat tim sum like how we treat kopi time...slow and leisurely...the only difference is the noise! Aiyoh! Overall, we were quite happy with out meal.
Park Hotel Hong Kong
Wth the recommendation from my cousin who stayed for 2 years in HK, I managed to get this hotel after much research. Yeah, you got that right...this is because I must find a hotel room which is not too small. Have been reading of some rooms which are so small, there is not enough space to even open up the luggage. I was almost giving up when I tried Airasia holidays....and found Park Hotel going for RM400+ and also plus free breakfast! Yahoo.
Yes, I had to find :-
(i) cheap hotel - around Rm400-500...
(ii) big enough room
(iii) good location...
phew...and I love this hotel...look at the photos...
...nice rooms, eh!

Hong Kong
Yahoo.....managed to get cheap tickets to Hong Kong...RM2k for tickets through MAS........so here we go.....Ben's first trip overseas in 2 years...last time we travel to Sydney, it was when he just turned 1. Since he is now much bigger and much more active, we thought that we will try out somewhere nearby first...HK...and further we can visit Disneyland since he now knows who Mickey and Donald is.

At KLIA....hey, Ben...can you please slow down???!!!
He loves those airport trolleys...
Hmmm...taking a cup of orange cordial...
.....love his new book....recently he had a liking for mouse books by this author name Leo Lionni...and thanks to this lady which I know at Scholastic...I got his books pretty cheap.
