Hong Kong Travelogue: Day 3 at Mongkok and Sham shui po

Managed to wake up early today! Left our hotel at 10am after going to Mike and  Ky's room to visit.

Here are our highlights for day 3!

1. We had brekkie at Man Wah again lol. Wanted to eat my steamed rice with minced meat + octopus. And we tried their chicken feet which was heavenly! I love this restaurant just that it's kinda far and we have to walk quite a bit.


2. Visited New town mall @ Argyle center but all the shops were closed! Apparently the female shops open quite late after 12pm only. I went to the Colour Mix on the ground floor though and got Innisfree volcanic mask, bioderma and fancl washing powder. Bioderma is so much cheaper in hk! Only 95hkd whereas sg sells at $29.90 I think.

3. Shopped along Sai Yeung choi street. I wanted to buy my cosmetics from Laneige, Bonjour and Sasa. The original Laneige store doesn't sell much cheaper than Singapore. I only managed to get my water bank gel cream for 196hkd at Bonjour. Bought Dollywink and my beauty diary mask at Sasa. I have nothing much to buy actually! Unlike all the mainland Chinese who are stocking up so much at these stores. 

4. After resting at our hotel, we took a train to Sham shui po and exited b2! We wanted to get to Fuk wing street to see G's toy street and eat at the original Tim ho wan. It's such a bustling area! So many shops selling toys, Christmas decor and cute stationery. 

G found the shop he was looking for!


One of the shops sold super cute, small fluffy toys. I'm not a fan of soft toys but I still couldn't resist. Isn't the totoro uber cute?!


5. We walked a looooong way and finally saw this!


THE original Tim ho wan! This place is quite far man lol. But we found it! 

Dim sum was really really really good. Better and cheaper than Lei garden! Better than Singapore's!








A Russian tourist was actually sitting beside us and told us, in basic English, how good the baked BBQ pork buns and liver cheong fun was. G was friendly and had a lil chit chat with him and found out he was going to Singapore in feb next year! And he's staying in MBS! Man.
