One weekend in Hong Kong

As I'm typing out this post, I'm actually on a plane ride from Hong Kong back to Malaysia. My 3 days trip here this time has proven to be very different from 2 of my previous trips here.

This time I get to experience strolling the local streets, malls and train rides. Well, thanks to my very lovely semi-local tour guide. :)

To be honest, I felt slightly overwhelmed by the amount of people on the streets. People here walked faster, talked louder and are more stressed out than us Malaysians. But I totally loved how convenient everything was. Everything was just around the corner. Walking distance. It reminded me of Singapore except busier and less clean, thanks to the mainlanders.

It also reminded me of the time when I lived in Bristol city center. I can always do without the driving but who am I trying to kid? I hate public transportation. But I massively loved the convenience. So I can't make up my mind just yet.

If you've followed me on my previous blog you'd know that I raved a lot about this mega awesome Korean restaurant in Cardiff. It's called Yaki Niku or some just call it Seoul House.

To me that's undeniably the best Korean food I've ever tasted. I don't mean to exaggerate but I've tried many Korean places in Malaysia and nothing compares to it. Even my baby sister said the same when I brought her there when she came to visit me for my graduation ceremony at 2008. So I can't be that biased right? Right?

One of the many highlights of this trip is this Korean restaurant, Myung Ga situated at iSquare that J brought me to for dinner last night. I didn't have any expectations as I've already decided that nothing beats Yaki Niku for me. I'm loyal like that wtf.

So, I was happy to dine anywhere and eat anything. I let J do all the ordering since I'm really easy going with food. I do like Korean bbq so it can't really go very wrong for me.



We ordered the set meal for two with an additional meat which was really too much for the both of us cos we couldn't finish our food. So, unless you can eat a lot, don't order anything else on top of the set meal or just go ala carte.

The service was very good and very fast. The waiter did the initial bbqing for us and we get to do the rest. Fun fun!



I was very surprised when I tasted the meat. It was almost as good as Yaki Niku. So I was really happy to have finally found a close match to my favourite Korean restaurant in the world without having to fly 13 hours to get there.



I didn't manage to take many pictures as I was really enjoying my company. So here are some. The view from where we sat overlooked the Avenue Of Stars by Tsim Sa Tsui. Well, just about anyway.

 Okay, I've just landed. Gonna click publish when I get home later or tomorrow. Whatever. Xxx
