The Mingles: Hong Kong Trip Day 3 and last day

Day 3. Once again, it's shopping time!

Stupid boy. Haha.

Finally, we went to the Japanese restaurant that's always ridiculously having a long queue to have our lunch. Anyway we now know the reason why this restaurant is so famous! After coming back to Singapore, we happened to saw this HK drama on cable tv that's about food which was filmed at this restaurant and has a storyline revolving around some characters in the drama working in this restaurant! So coincidental! Guess it's god's will to answer our query, haha. We guess that should be the reason why this restaurant was always so packed and had a consistent queue outside when the food was only so-so.

Mama: Unagi Don

Once again as always, mingster made the wrong choice when it comes to ordering his food, haha! This curry tasted like those House brand instant Japanese curry where you can buy from supermarkets and cook it yourself at home.

Mine: Beef Ramen (I still prefer the one at Cuppage!)

On our way to search for a streetwear/sneaker joint - Exit by doublepark. It was so fucking hard to locate! All thanks to the misleading map that we had! It actually has the shop location marked on the wrong street!! OMG! $@#!$%&%^#!!!

Checking and double-checking the two maps/shopping guide we had on hand looking for the elusive Exit by doublepark store.

FINALLY!!!! The freaking "underground" place. (It's literally underground! haha!). This shop was very reminiscent of the Surrender store at Far East Plaza last time. A minimalistic, dimly lit corridor with artwork by Futura and other street artists greeted us as we reached the bottom of the flight of stairs leading down into the basement. The store's interiors were very similar to our own Surrender store as well - tees and other apparels hung on lighted racks along the walls, while small bookcase-like shelves stood in the middle of the spacious minimalist shop space. Mngster's initial enthusiasm and anticipation slowly dissipated as we walked through the shop. He was basically there to check out the range of limited edition footwear they have as it was supposedly a place that retails limited edition shoes. His disappointment was utter at the very end of our visit. There was nothing that caught his eyes. Personally, I also think that our very own Leftfoot and LE stores have a much better range of shoes.

But amidst all the disappointment, how could we spare a chance for our infamous FBF photo whore session? Haha. We began to act emo, act cool, etc, hohoho. No la, we simply love photography! Well, Mama and I still managed to find a Fingercroxx tee each which we like and bought!

Im super proud of this pic! Don't you think the lighting is freaking darn nice?! Hoho.

Another nice pic that I took, looks like a wallpaper.

Forgot what shop this is, but we were attracted to the human size Kaws figurine.

It's dessert time at 许留山again! The names of the desserts are cute, especially the 多芒亮晶晶, haha.

This is 亮晶晶!

mingster's 黑糯米。

mama's steamed egg.

This Milan Station signboard conned mingster into believing that it was a real exit of a MTR station! Haha, it's actually a shop that sells 2nd hand designer bags.

Harbour City.

The ferry ticket price is so cheap! Only SG$0.30!!

The "tickets", which were basically tokens.

On board!

Nice scenic views from the ferry ride. Too bad we didn't have a chance to take the ride at night, the sceneries will be even nicer during the night.

On our way to the destination, 牛腩面 here we come!

Yaya, we gotta climb the super steep slope again to eat the 牛腩面, you can see from the pic above that my mummy (white tee with sling bag in the background behind mingster) was struggling to climb up the slope, she was super tired out lo.

Ta dah! Remember the 牛腩面 shop mentioned in an ealier entry that's closed on our first visit there? This is it! Anyway, though the food was superb, the service there sux! There was a very smug man sitting by its cashier counter by the entrance with a very "haolian" expression on his face at all time. Well, popularity and fame breed arrogance at times I suppose.

The food is seriously yummy, I miss the FOOD!!!!

This machine is dumb to the max! Why must they limit only one note per transaction?!?! We were stuck at the machine for quite some time thinking how come the machine just wouldn't accept the notes we put in until we saw the notice above the note slot! OMG! This machine is so not tourist friendly!

Supper for me! 鱼蛋 from 7-Eleven.

A photo of some of the things that we bought!

My new wallet! I've been using my previous Porter wallet for almost 6 years, it's time to change!

End of Day 3.

Logically speaking, though we were there for four days three nights, we had no Day 4. It's because our return flight to Singapore was at 11am! Thus we had to wake up at 730am to eat our breakfast and then check on out and go straight to the airport immediately after that. So sad. The cons of getting a cheap Jetstar deal.
