Oh yea!!! ... final post for my Hong Kong trip. Day 5 started off very lazily. We wanted to get outta bed early to do a bit of shopping before meeting up with SY's aunt for lunch at the Dragon King Restaurant. Alas ... the sandman worked his magic on us and we ended waking up just in time for our lunch appointment.
The food at Dragon King located at the World Trade Center was oh soooooooo good. Their dim sum variety are most unique and delish delish delish!!! Their BBQ pork are the juiciest and most tender, the insides marinated so well that it explodes with flavoursome goodness at every bite. The roasted pork is filled with sublime saltiness on the crunchy skin and so soft on the insides. Ok ... enough bout food cause it's really making my starving belly growling with hunger pangs.
After that long lunch, we went to Langham's Place for a li'll bit of shopping before heading to Harbour City. There we shopped a li'll bit more and the Esprit Factory Outlet had pretty decent offerings too.
We walked towards the harbour and feasted our eyes on the brightly litted night sky. The high rises were so mesmerizingly beautiful with their multi coloured lightings. We went back to freshen up before heading up to SY's aunt's house at the peak for a BBQ session. The chilley weather provided the perfect ambience to fire up the grill. The warmth from the flame, the magnificent view of the city, the scrumptious aroma from the charcoaled roasted meats and vegs, the great company ... that's life at its best. *wink* SY's aunt even got someone to buy a serving of roasted goose from the ever famous 'Sam Cheng'. True to its reputation, it was the best I ever had ... delicious beyond words.
Since it was Ivy's b'day the next day, we celebrated it in advance for her. The cake was specially ordered from Shangrila's bakery ... can't remember its name but it was layers of soft creamy custard and crispy sweet crust. Very unique and yet very pleasing to the pallet. Me like :D
After that we bid everyone good night and headed back to the apartment to pack for home.
The next day we adjourned early to the airport since YJ and CTs' flight was earlier than SY's and mine. After sending them off, we brunched at Tai Ka Lok and it was soon SY's turn to board. :( Since I had some time left, I walked around the airport and shopped. Haha. Got myself a sling bag with a 40% discount. *woot* Even managed to score a nice li'll wristlet from Coach for my colleague's gf since he asked me earlier to get his gf a X'mas gift on his behalf. Apaprently that wristlet is exclusive to that Coach outlet in HK Airport and not available anywhere else. For SY, I got her a cute keychain ... also from Coach to go with her new handbag purchased earlier. Got myself a couple of books too before heading in to the departure lounge and saying goodbye to this wonderful island ... promising that I'll soon return for more of its great offerings.
