One day in Kwun Tung area
We happened to popped into this restaurant serving steamboat buffet.
We pay for the main dish and the rest is buffet spread. We ordered a chicken set and a beef set.
it's along our hotel, no 78 , up the escalator towards where 7-11 is. There is another one selling "mee sua" (soft noodles) (ope to try it, looks good too)

time to feast

After our early lunch, We were fortunate to be able to check into the hotel earlier than stated. I had a good swim while enjoying the full facility alone.

 Very curious what that extra piece is popping out for!? Second flr unit is like a balcony. other not!?

  crispy not much egg fragrant

lots of these stickers advertisement around.

What are these queues? couldn't see a sign nor anything board showing, but they queue patiently ....
so they are queueing to take the lift up to go shopping!interesting!

love these owls display

APM (Kung Tung mtr station)

APM

 

sweet sour porks

steam fish 

Nothing interest my friend in APM, hence we tried a local restaurant on our way back. Each comes with a big bowl of rice and a soup. even sharing a bowl os rice, we couldn't finished it.
I think we paid around  hk$68 for each set.

 Very fusion. though we have it back at home, we wanted something sweet for our dessert.
about hk $24 each. can't really remember. they have many flavours.
one is cocoa with chocolate and cream fillings, the other fill with some cheese and cream.
@APM

 just prepared this in case  my friend wakes up too early. then she can have her medicine . (after food) but . . .
it became our breakfast. we left early and all nearby eateries not opened, even the 7-11 is closed.

We decided to rest and took the 9.30pm shuttle for a ride . Since Jenny couldnt walk too much, this is a good way to see some of Hong Kong n night scene too. and it's free!??

It has been quite a while since I last visited Gardens by the bay, it seem something is always popping out. May it be a short getaway, some gatherings, my sewing projects and of course many lazy afternoons. :))

I am meeting Jenny for lunch at Vivo city today, and thought I could spent the morning at Gardens by the bay. I had set my alarm at 8am, but with a little more nap, an hour was gone!!!! After walking Hugo (my daughter's pet dog), I am ready to go. a little hiccup while trying to locate my sd card. Its really a problem if you have too many and insist on using a specific one.why?

When I arrived Bayfront mrt station, an old lady approached me to make a phone call for her. I was using my phone taking photo for the floor design, but I rejected her anyway. First, it's funny how she is at the place at that hour. the number was written in red and big. She was holding a plastic bag loaded with too many staffs. I don't feel good as there seem to be too many scam nowadays. I have been approached by old ladies 

 many times recently, many times asking for money in a way or the other.

Later, I thought I should have bring her to the information or help counter just in case she really need help.  hmmm......next time I shall do that.

I have about an hour for the gardens, let's go!!!
on my way ......
