Travel to Hong Kong

best 
My youngest sister (left front)  and I (in brown on right  behind) flew to Hong Kong on my birthday month in July and met up with my second sister (in green). Here, Mirinda ( in blue opposite me) was our tour guide for the day and brought us to a Chinese restaurant known as The Moon in the upmarket shopping mall in The Elements where they  have Ballys, etc. In this shot, the four of us were seated waiting for our serving for dinner. We could not get by in Hong Kong without Mirinda who could speak Cantonese and guided us besides being our spokes person. By the way, Mirinda has a tiny condominium near Shatin MTR train station that cost a whopping RM 1.2 million! (USD 400,000). The entire condominium could fit into the living room of our suite in Royal Plaza Hotel, where we stayed and Mong Kok East MTR train station was just underground of the hotel. 

Above was one of our orders of crispy dried noodles topped with scrambled egg white and garnished with fish eggs. The serving looks appetizing for me. The noodles were crisp and crunchy to the palate. 

We also had deep fried wanton paired with Thai chilly sauce and black sauce in a yin yang shaped sauce container. 

Chinese food is never complete without an order of pork ribs braised in special sauce. It was simply heavenly having such fine dining food. 

After travelling to Golden Bauhinia Square, Aberdeen Fishing Village, Repulse Bay, our next stop was the optional tour of Ocean Park where we dined at The Neptune Seafood Restaurant. I loved the ambience here and it gives me a feeling of swimming in the ocean with the huge manta rays, baby sharks, schools of colorful ocean fishes, etc swimming gracefully in this 2 storey-high aquarium.

This was our dining table and we got an excellent view of the mega aquarium or oceanarium while waiting for our servings. Loved the deep blue glasses of water.

This was my selection of fish with potatoes for the MAS cabin food that was served to the passengers. The white gravy was certainly tantalizing and sumptuous. You have another choice of chicken with rice but I am a fish lover, hence I chose this meal. There's a bun with butter, butter sponge cake with chocolate cream, salad, water and juices. Geens like cuboid carrots and long beans were paired with the poached fish. This meal was mouth-watering and yummy!
