S and i went for 雞蛋仔 and waffles with butter and sugar in it near 尖沙咀站 (exit B, walk along Nathan Road). the best i’ve ever had!!!! even 陳豪 has been here. the store owners took a picture with him and taped it to the store front among other pictures of movie stars who ate there before.
there were people lining up in front of the store, which was sorta hidden away:

S and i also went to the Charlie Brown café! 
the entrance is street level, but the actual cafe is on the 2nd floor. inside, there were lots of charlie brown related decorations, such as statues and paintings.
the food was decorated with a charlie brown theme too.

went to 灣仔 just to go to 金鳳 (exit A3 at 灣仔站, walk along Johnston Road until Spring Garden Lane… i think LOL) my cousin recommended it to me for their pineapple buns + butter, egg tarts, and milk teas. 
it was so full in there that i had to share a table with an older lady listening to an iPod and another young man, who wolfed down his meal. i ordered all of my cousin’s recommendations:
notice that the cold milk tea has no ice. they make the milk tea and keep it in a cooler. i was amazed by this, but that just shows how little i go out… best pineapple bun i ever had.

at 大澳, my aunt’s friend brought me to eat some freshly made 茶果 and mochi. i adore these, even when not freshly made. fresh ones are heavenly: 
they were made the old fashioned way, using wood-burning stoves:

visited the place my dad worked at for about 30 years, 華豐. sells bbq pork, chickens, ducks, sausages, cooked meats in general… 
got free food… felt so bad because they wouldn’t have recognized me and my cousin if it wasn’t for my dad who ORDERED me to greet his old buddies there:

the night before i came back to Vancouver, i went to 山頂 (the top of the highest mountain in Hong Kong) to see the night view with my cousin. it was a really touristy thing to do, but yeah. can’t go to HK without seeing it! according to my cousin (and also the this site), the view from that mountain is why HK is called “亞洲之珠”.
the good things: really pretty, quiet (compared to the rest of HK)
the bad things: didn’t have my camera, bugs attaching to clothing, tourists everywhere (lots of “ghost mans”)
we also went to 蘭桂坊… for dinner and Starbucks afterwards for cheesecake (blueberries were okay. the cake was stale. the icing was very hard) and fraps (Java Chip Frap: too watery; Dark Berry Mocha Frap: tasted weird and left strange aftertaste according to my cousins). Vancouver Starbucks is 10 times better. :)
on the plane… sat beside a 叉佬, who kept hacking and sniffling… i’m sure he only had a cold or maybe lung problems or w/e, but i quickly pulled on a face mask just to be safe. i think the people around me noticed too and asked the flight attendants for air masks. luckily he didn’t smell bad.
