2nd day in HK...

...was a Disneyland Day!!

Hehehe....my wife sooo wanted to go for this Disneyland in HK, so we just go la...and let me see how special it was...
Before we start our journey that day, we go for this dim sum restaurant, just next to the hotel, which is just open recently, (it called New Star Restaurant), they served nice and cheap Dim Sum. trust me, its even more cheaper than eating in KL. But the crowd was madness!! So early (i mean 7.30 am) its already fully pack with old people (we are the youngest, i guess) coz most of the customer there are around 60's years old....

This is how the restaurant looks like in the morning....have to wait in line for your turn and have to share table with strangers too....so guys, be prepare for it if you are eating in such restaurant. :)
The thing that we order that morning are:
This is the famous Char Siew Pau

Combination set which cost HKD 10 for this...cheap ass man!!!

And this is the Lobak Ko...which ginger somemore...

Delicious Shrimp Chee Cheung Fun... :)

Another Steam Dim Sum combination...also price HKD 10 per basket!!
Yeah...i know i know....its kindda too many things ordered that morning...coz we are excited...not the food is good...coz the price are cheap!! 2 person with chinese tea only cost us HKD 100. For all of the above...what do u expect right??

So after the breakkie we walk back to Stanford Hotel, we go to TsimShaTsui for a short walk first (we are suing the hotel buss shuttle), coz its still early ma...no need to go so early one la...most of the Hongkies told me that...coz the theme park is small wor...so we go to National Olympic Muzeum first and from there, we took some nice photos near the Pier.

After some nice photoshooting, we head down to the nearst MTR station in that place, i really forgetten the name of that place, but its actually go thru a shopping mall (Sogo) then u can find the MTR station. So we take few interchange from TsimShaTsui to HK Disneyland...the last train to Disneyland was wholly own by Disneyland i guess....coz everthing inside the train was Disneyland theme....hehehe..
The handle are Mickey logo... :)
Even the train window are mickey logo...
So once we reach...have to buy the ticket...which cost me HKD 295 person, only for the weekdays coz weekend are cost higher...HKD 350 if i not mistaken. This is how the ticket looks like:
I think they see me and my wife, 1 guy and 1 girl...they give ticket also 1 mickey and 1 minnie... :)
The entrance to Disneyland...(be prepare to walk...coz its far from the gate...)

After bought the ticket, you will pass thru a security check....they will search your bag...make sure no food is in your bag...they will not allowed you to bring in any food...so please take note about that. Food NO-NO, water or drinks..YES!
The security are doing the checking...thats make the que long...sigh..
Donald and Daisy...

Merlin the Witch Doctor...

Princess Belle and Sleeping Beauty
As u guys can see...its a clear blue skies...so...the weather are really HOT!!! The view from the Fairtyland Castle.. :)
The rest of the mascot...didint got time to look for them also...always have to line-up...and the weather was so hot...tiring summore...hehehe....tiring from shopping i guess...
So the latest attraction in Disneyland now are the High School Musical...
If any of you guys are thinking of getting a ride in the Disneyland theme park...they will give a Boarding Pass while lining-up...so that...no one will cut que...
So towards the 8pm...its the Firework dispaly time...i can say its very nice display...coz its combine the music from all the Disney show...and the speaker are just blasting every corner in Disneyland...playing non stop of the Disney theme song....but just too bad i miss the Parade...coz was busy buying Disneyland Merchandise...
After the long day playing and walking in the Disneyland...finally we have our lunch + tea break in of the restaurant there...price wise was okie...not that bad...HKD 120 for 2 person. This is what we had:
Pork Meat Steam Rice

Chicken and Squid Steam Rice...
So after all the happy ending firework...we took the MTR train back to Mongkok for another round of shopping...which is the famous 'Sports Shoe Street'
This street really have about 40 to 50 shop...selling all range of sports shoes and sports things. From Jersey to Sockings...and they open till quite late too...about 11.30pm. Why? you will know why when i post the next picture...

Can u see that...in Mongkok....almost pass midnight...and the people on the street are still damn a lot...just like our pasar malam here....but the crowd are start at very early and end very very late. Their culture is to hang out in this places...Hongkies and tourist...this place is over-crowded!! But...if you like me...love photoshoting...this place is heaven!!...Coz a lot of pretty girls. :)

You guys can check out the Ladies Market too...near the Mongkok MTR station...its just like our M'sia Petaling Street...but...more spacious...not so crampie...and those people who sell things there are more friendly...not like M'sia...all foreigner sell things...there more professional... :)

And this is very interesting display...i bought one back for my daughter room...very nice and cute indeed...
so thats all for 2nd day in HK...will update more tomorrow...
Ciows...and happy reading...

Hello, got ur blog url from the HK thread @ Lowyat.net.

I'll be visiting HK (for the 2nd time) in July, so i guess reading ur entries is like a warming up for me. Tee Hee Hee.

Wanna ask, how long have u been Q-ing for the dimsum? :)

HI cely,

Thanks for dropping a comment here. I hope you have a wonderful trip in July. Coz its a mad mad sale during that time.

During the Dim Sum time, i need to que up around 10 minute only. Dont worry about the Que-ing, coz Hongkies people dont intend to seat for long time for their breakfast.

Zoakies,

my gf main reason to go on July is because of SALES SEASON !!!!

Ocean Park - i think i am going there as well since i will be there for 6 days
By the way, may i know how your stay at Stanford Hotel ? At first, im planning to book there but ended up booking Dorsett Seaview Hotel

Hi bro Brandon,

Stanford Hotel was great. Place is clean and its very convenient. Walking distance to MTR station and nearby to shopping area, exp: Ladies Market.

Overall i can give Stanford Hotel 8/10. Value for money too... :)
