Rise & shine for the last day of Ving’s Hong Kong trip!! =(
(You can check out Part 1 of the trip here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here, and Part 4 here.)
For our last lunch in Hong Kong, we went to City Hall Maxim’s Palace for dimsum.
It’s one of the most famous dimsum restaurants in Hong Kong, and has an amazing view of Victoria Harbour.
So try to get window seats if you can!

Me super love this flavorful steamed rice with fish slices.
The egg tarts were a ‘lil disappointing though.
I still very much prefer those traditional crust egg tarts from Tai Cheong Bakery, especially when they are hot from the oven.
You will get a sun rising behind you after eating it. (think cartoon/animation style)
Super sad I didn’t get to try them during this trip! >.<

We did some last minute shopping at Central and Causeway Bay, before heading back to the hotel to pack them.
I know I know… It’s as if there are no instant noodles being sold back home right??
Time to head for the airport! =(
We went earlier to do a City Check-In at Hong Kong Station (it’s super awesome this idea), then head over to the airport for our last dinner in Hong Kong.
It’s Tsui Wah yet again!
Why do we not have Tsui Wah in Singapore???
It kinda beats all other Hong Kong cafes we have currently.
With some time to kill before boarding, I had to go over to one of my must-go places:
Magazines stand.
I couldn’t resist not getting any.
For the Hong Kong edition ones, they can cost at least 2.5 times cheaper than what they are being sold back home!
And I’m a fan of Milk Magazine!
I love magazines. I’ve got piles of them in my room.
My mum always says “If you can turn your magazines into cash, you’ll be filthy rich.”
I agree with her, totally.
Still enough time for a drink first before going in.
In case you would like to know, Starbucks’ drinks are generally about 25% cheaper than that in Singapore.
While we were about to go in, we happened to hear some young girls screaming and waving bye to someone who was already inside.
We later found out that it was actually the Korean girl group, After School (I only know Uee from that group).
Turned out they just had a fan-meeting session in Hong Kong.
We didn’t get to see them though after we went in (not that I’m interested haha =X).
If it had been 2NE1 instead, I might have broken Usain Bolt’s 100m World/Olympic records.
We were greeted by these very traditional Chinese displays while waiting at our departure gate to board the plane.
Kinda cool idea for passengers to kill time while waiting, and get to know more about Chinese customs/traditions.
I shall end my last part on this Hong Kong trip with a continuation of narcissism from the previous post.
Till next time!!!!! *throws confetti*
