Hong Kong Adventures – Part 5

Each morning, we went up to the top floor for breakfast and we got a table with the best view today.

Later in the morning, we met up with Jason to hunt for the magical pineapple bun with butter inside.

We took a bunch of trains to cross the water and ended up in Kowloon.

Here’s the pineapple bun…so tasty.

This is the Hong Kong-style french toast with condensed milk on top and butter inside.

We also shared a bowl of instant noodles with mustard greens.

The kids were excited to have milk served in a glass bottle today.

We happened to also end up in the “pet district” where there was a street filled with pet stores. We stopped at one shop that hung tropical fish in bags on the wall.

The kids were getting hungry so we stopped at a McDonald’s to get some nuggets for Peanut and sauce for Brother.

Later in the day, Jes’ parents met up with us and we took a long stroll down the famous Nathan Road all the way back to the water front.

We stopped for a smoothie drink and then a spicy noodle house for a late lunch.

Their food was pretty good but service was a little too gruff for my taste.

Once we arrived at the waterfront, we found the Garden of Stars.

I had been in search of the Bruce Lee statue and was happy we found it! I had read that it was temporarily moved from its original spot due to renovations so I wasn’t sure where to look.

Before heading to the Star Ferry terminal, we went down to the waterfront for a few photos. It’s too bad the air quality wasn’t the best that day. I’m sure it’s gorgeous at night.

At the ferry terminal, there was only a 15-minute wait and the ride itself was just about 15 minutes long too!

Then we hopped on a double-decker bus back to our hotel.

Public transportation in Hong Kong is pretty awesome.

As an early dinner for the kids and a snack for us, we went to Din Tai Fung, which was located just downstairs from our hotel.

We also didn’t have the same crazy-long wait that we’re used to in LA.

After their dinner, the kids got a shower and changed into their pjs. Then we went up to the lounge for Happy Hour to wait for Jes’ parents to finish shopping before heading up to watch the kids for an hour or so.

Once the kids were in bed, we headed out to Times Square.

We stopped at a Peanuts display and took some pictures.

Finally, we found a place that served the pork belly that Jes had been looking for all week. It was a nice finish to our last full day in Hong Kong.
