The meal on board SQ was rather delicious....and inflight entertainment was good!
Must be still Chinese New Year period....the immigration was EXTREMELY CROWDED! Thank goodness to e-Channel...scan the back of my passport and a finger print and I was through! Hope this privilege last a lifetime!
Stephen was at the airport and we decided to catch the airport bus to the hotel. From the bus stop , it was a short walk up the steep slope to The Bauhinia Hotel. The Hotel was kind enough to upgrade me from Superior to Deluxe, without additional charge!
Decided to go and get a gift for Wallace... Walked through a few places and could not find anything I wanted. Wanted to have dinner but mist -places were closed or closing. Finally....... Good old American Embassy - MacDonald's!
Saturday was a sleep-in day but I had a lunch appointment over at Wanchai area and I needed to get there earlier to look for gift wrapper. Managed to get a gift box and also a card, before meeting up with Wallace. Tim Sum lunch with Frankie and Wallace, my Dear family members!
Then, it was back to the Hotel to meet up with Stephen and to The Panorama Hotel for high tea semi-buffet with Eddie and Simon. The bill came up to less than HK$100 per person (after credit card discount)....value for money!
Wanted to scout for ipad cover in Tsimshatsui but gave up and went over to Mongkok to join in the mad crowd.... this place is simply conjested with people....especially during weekends!
Managed to get a bargain for the ipad cover and then back to the hotel.
A stroll to the waterfront to catch the laser show before going over to Food Republic for dinner. The teppanyaki was rather tasty.
Sunday was supposed to be a sleep in day but decided to go to Stanley market to get some shirts. Thought that the bus from Tsimshatsui East was the best option but did not realise that it took more than 1 hour to get to the destination!
Shopping was brisk and soon we were on the small van back to Causeway Bay. Managed to walk around before going back to Kowloon side.
Met up with Wei Jian and had a good chat with him in my room. Everywhere was crowded and so I bought some desserts back to hotel instead.
Then, had to meet up with Stephen for dinner - Cafe Too at Island Shangri-La. Read a lot about this restaurant and decided to give it a try.
Started with Boston Lobster, some sushi and salads, before moving on to main dishes, such meats, fish, etc...there's also soup, and a huge selection of desserts! There's really a lot to eat! By the time we finished, Stephen was too full to move! A word of caution.....it's not cheap..... For the food, its not really value for money; for the Company, its money well spent!
Went from a walk near Jordan before heading back to hotel.
The trip was enjoyable and I was glad to be able to spend time with the special someone....its has been 2 years..its anniverary!
