Hong Kong Day 5 - Hong Kong Island (again)

Out of sheer exhaustion, we decided to exhalt the laziness coursing within our bodies and wake near 11am because check-out was due at noon. I chapped the skn the skin over my shoulder lugging heavy bags of goodies around and the ache was really killing me. Stick Insect had to take over my shopping load too.

Thanks babe!

the last view from our room. goodbye voyuers!

Leaving our luggage with the concierge, we headed back to Hong Kong Island for some last minute shopping. There, we went back to Jardine’s Crescent and got a basketful of lovely trinkets and presents for ourselves, family and friends.

Bling it on..!
we bought a Hello Kitty jibbitz from the Crocs store opposite Times Square

Then we popped by Sogo again to see if there were any more bargains to pick up. We ended up buying Paul and Joe stuff which Stick Insect adores. Then we moved onto Times Square in search for Stick Insect’s NARS concealer.

love the jingly music from the ice cream truck!

The Nars guy is so super cute, albeit a little niang(soft). He had such clear complexion, but not those sickly white faces many Hong Kong guys somehow possess. He looked like a hip Korean. So KHJ! His ability to laugh after every sentence simply magnified his charm. They way he giggled made us giggle too. Hahaha..

If I had stayed there any longer, I would have drooled on the floor.

Do patronize him at the NARS counter over at Lane Crawford (Times Square Ground Floor) if you require any makeup from the brand. His name is Yan Dao (handsome). Wahaha.. His service is really good. His looks are better. Hohoho..

We heart Yan Dao..! We have faith we can MAN you.. wahahha..

We ended up having lunch at Freshness Burger in some shopping center. Its very much like Mos Burger. Though pricier, the taste and quality of the food is unbeatable for fast food standards. The thick corn soup reeked of real corn and the burger patties were succulently juicy. We also tried the tangerine(yuza) soda which was tangy and sweet. Yum yum!

We didn’t enjoy the buffalo wings though. Very disappointing scrawny wings drenched in a watery tomato-based sauce.

Not having enough time to catch a movie, we returned to the hotel to await our shuttle back to the airport.

we had the freshly made crepe with dark chocolate gelato at the basement of our hotel

Broke after 5days of incessant bargain hunting, we had to change every last bit of SGD for HKD and dig every last cent for dinner. And that’s after we spent our food money on Disney merchandise. Hahahaha…*slaps forehead*

We had to whip out the cards again to buy cakes for Stick Insect’s family. I bet her mum would scream murder if we ‘forgot’. Heeheehee.. In the end, we managed to scrape enough to each get a meal. And here’s what we got from the final stretch of this trip. This wonderful trip =)

It has been such a wonderful experience in Hong Kong.

And for this, I thank you.
