Hong Kong Macao Travelogue March 2016 -Day 5 (FINAL)

Today is our last day in Hong Kong and our flight is at 2 plus in the afternoon. So, we had some time in the morning to check out dim sum in Hong Kong. 


What to order...
So many choices...
Garden Restaurant which is just a few steps away from our hotel...
Dig in....

Dim sum @ Garden Restaurant is generally good and price is reasonable too. 

We checked out of the hotel, and took bus A21 back to airport (Cost HKD$33) and it brings us straight to Terminal 2.

From there, we got our Octopus Card refunded. We also manage to get some last minute goodies from Kee Wah Bakery. After checking in, we had to take a train to Terminal 1 where all the boarding gates are located. 

For lunch, dad finally got to taste goose meat that he had been wanting to eat before leaving HK. We had lunch at Tsui Wah Restaurant and the food is yummy, portion is large too. I especially love the warm lime orange juice, it is soooo good!

Satisfied!
Yum... and my lime juice is super good!
Our final pack of goodies from Kee Wah Bakery...
We boarded and here is a few shots I took while on the plane... such a nice photo to end the trip.

Great for family/ friends bonding- KUKUP 2 day 1 night TRIP

Image
Situated in Pontian District, Johor, Malaysia- KUKUP Fishing Village is a wonderful place for family/friends bonding.  The chalets are build on the sea and there is not much attractions around the area so basically most activities are done in or around the chalet which is great for bonding. There is no place to park the car in front of the chalet as all of the chalets are build on water, so do park your car (if you are driving) at the designated car park before the jetty. We parked at JJ Carpark (RM7 for 24 hours) and the staff send us to the jetty area using his van. We can then walk or take a boat to the chalet.  We decided to walk....and we manage to enjoyed a cooling and refreshing coconut pudding on the way... Refreshing coconut pudding Very nice and refreshing thought is a bit pricey RM9 There is also some stalls selling dried seafood- anchovies, etc. Bicycles are available for rental ... The chalet we stayed in... There...

Kidzoona indoor playground at Jusco Bukit Indah, Johor, Malaysia.

Image
We recently brought the kids to Kizoona at Jusco Bukit Indah. I find it very worth it in terms of the price and the facilities are also pretty good.  The place is not big but there is enough things for the kids to spend a few hours there... Includes bouncing castle, some individual shops (flower shop, cafe, supermarket for kids to play around), a big pool of ball, some cars, and a huge rolling ball-like thing where kids can go in and rotate. Fully air conditioned and there is only one entrance to go in and out. Parents can stay inside to accompany your kids at no additional charge. Just remember to bring your own socks otherwise have to purchase before going in. Toilet is not in the playground so there only cons is have to bring the kids out to toilet. Tickets are for a whole day so unlimited entry throughout the day.  Kids can play, go our for lunch and then come back and play again.  If there is two of you looking after the kids , can take t...

Staycation @ Crowne Plaza Changi Airport, Singapore

Image
How often does one step foot in Changi Airport and not catching a flight or picking someone up? For those who are staying in the east of Singapore, some might just go to the airport and enjoy their facilities, had some food, play at the playground or even do some groceries shopping. I think I am a little outdated as I did not even know that Changi Airport has NTUC as well (and their prices are not more expensive that the rest of NTUC). However, for someone like me who stay in the West, I hardly step foot at Changi Airport unless I am flying off someone or picking up someone. For me to take a MRT or drive to Changi Airport is a big commitment as it is not exactly near and there are so many nearby playground and shopping mall that I can enjoy within minutes from my house.  I hardly walk around the airport properly as I am usually rushing to catch a flight. It usually starts with a check in, then grab something to eat or drink while waiting for the plane. At most kids get...

Travel tips to Perth in Winter

Image
My first travel post will be sharing our family winter trip in Perth.  HOW LONG TO GO: Our trip is 2 weeks long as part of it is hubby's business trip, a trip of 5-7 days will be sufficient. For those planning for a trip this June School Holiday , Perth is actually quite a nice place to go. In contrary to normal believe that weather is bad in Australia in winter, we actually find it quite cooling and not too windy or rainy as long as you avoid Busselton and Margaret River area. Focus your trip to Perth up to Rockingham and anywhere to the north of Perth will have cooling and sunny weather most of the time. Check out the Perth weather forecast   here. It ranges between 8 to 18 degree Celsius throughout and it is quite cooling and nice! FLIGHTS For direct flight from Singapore, one can choose between Singapore Airline, Emirates, Qantas, Scoot and Jetstar. We took Singapore Airline as it is hubby's business trip. For those who wants to travel in comfor...

A day trip to Fujairah, away from the hustle and bustle of Dubai.

Image
Half term break- a phrase uncommon to schools in Asia. We have always known all breaks as school holiday. Here in international school , there is spring break, winter break , summer break and in between there is also some short half term break. This is the kids first school holiday after starting school in April 2018 so after a busy one and a half month, kiddy have 4 days to rest. We spend the first two days hanging around the house, went to indoor playground and accompany daddy to collect his new car! With our new ride, we decided one morning to go for a day trip to a nearby emirate. Fujairah is one of the seven emirates that makes up United Arab Emirates (UAE). It lies on the East Coast of UAE along the Gulf of Oman, well known for its beaches and Hajar Mountains. Its landscape is very much different from Dubai. Instead of skyscrapers, rocky mountains can be seen along the way and a 4WD car is ideal for exploring the emirates. A day trip from Dubai is great to get away from the ...

Winter in Perth 2014 (Day 3 and 4)

Image
Day 3 After spending 2 days in Fremantle, we checked out of the hotel and drove into the Perth CBD area... It is about half an hour drive and our first stop is to fill our stomach at Hog's Breath, highly recommended by my ex-colleague who used to study in Perth. Rustic interior look More seatings Bar area Hog's Breath specialise in Prime Rib Steak which they slow cook for 18 hours. Hubby and me both ordered their Prime Rib Steak (mine is original version and hubby's one is top with egg and bacon).  They have 3 types of cut to suit different stomach: 1) Traditional cut-about 300g steak 2) Lite cut-about 200g steak 3) Mega cut-about 400g steak While waiting, the kids got their colour pack... so they are enjoying themselves. Cheerful girl... always ready for the camera Our steak has arrived and they look wonderful! My medium well Natural Prime Rib (Traditional Cut), with mushroom sauce Hubby's Medium well Aussie P...

LEGO ---- Level Up

Image
LEGO is one of the kids favourite pastimes (besides iPad of course, which I wouldn't let them play for too long). However, with LEGO the rule doesn't apply. As long as they finish their homework and don't fight while playing, they can play as long as they want and I do enjoy watching them play. They spend a good hour building and they start to bring in their little character (some lego ones and some from their favourite cartoon show). Then the play pretend began and that can last for hours while mummy work on her own things , win win!  We only started the kids on LEGO around 4/5 years old so we kinda skip the DUPLO stage and go straight to the classic LEGO box. Our first purchase is the lego box that is suitable for 4-99 years old so that we can play for 95 years (give or take 😜) The kids still love their classic LEGO and we have bought a couple more after that so that they can add on to their collection. I believe it can still keep them occupied for at least co...

Hong Kong Macao Travelogue March 2016 -Day 3

Image
Today is more of a rest day for us (unofficial and unplanned actually). Upon waking up in the morning, I was down with diarrhoea and vomited a couple of times. Dad went for a fishing trip with my cousin today. Mum and me were supposed to be exploring the New Territories of Hong Kong, hitting the shopping mall. Unfortunately, I was not feeling well so I ended up eating medicine and slept for almost half a day. I was feeling a little better when I woke up at noon so we decided to take the ferry across Victoria Harbour to the mall opposite.  Across the harbour and we are now in New Hong Kong From our hotel which is located very conveniently on Nathan Road with lots of buses. We took Bus 1 that goes directly to the ferry terminal. You can also take bus 1A, 2, 6 etc. Just check the bus route at the bus stop signboard to see which bus goes where.  Once we are at the ferry terminal, we took the ferry that is bound for Central Pier. You can use Octopus Card for th...

The koalas are a big high up on the tree though so we can't see clearly plus they are sleeping most of the time during the da...
