Day 1
We took SIA Airbus 380 to Hong Kong. It's the first time Big FAN & I get to sit on airbus, it has an upper deck and a lower deck, as it's a new experience for us we decided to sit on the upper deck. Told SMALL FAN we are sitting on a Double-Decker plane. The plane was not much bigger then the normal SIA plane though, everything else in the economy class seems the same, service same, size of seat same although we do notice that the business class seats was much bigger and more comfortable. We took the 9.45am plane and reach Hong Kong Airport around 1 pm. Check in and out was a brisk for us as we only have one check-in luggage and one hand carry. We tried to get a bigger luggage and keep to the minimum no. of luggages so that we don't need to worry about counting our luggages. Big FAN can easily manage 2 luggages while I take care of the 2 kids. Felt that it's more managable this way.

Once out of the plane, we went straight to purchase the Airport Express ticket and proceed to the train station to Hong Kong Central. The journey from the immigration counter to the train station was quite tedious though as we need to go up and down a few escalators. The journey from the airport to Hong Kong Central took us about 30 minutes and it was a nice and enjoyable ride as we get to seat down quite comfortably. We then took a taxi to our friend house at Robinson Road (at SOHO) where we will be staying there for 3 nights FOC...hi hi...
Robinson Tower, at Hong Kong Island (the one under construction) is where we stayed for 3 days.
Big FAN fell ill on that day so we all took an early night rest. The kids slept at 6pm....hi hi.... As for me, I spent the next 2 hours just browsing through the TV channels there, it was really really boring...
Day 2
The kids woke up bright and early, so we were all dressed up and out of the house by 8 plus. As we stay along the hill top, we need to take a series of escalotors down to get to the main central. It was quite a nice walk down and the kids have a great time taking escalators as well as looking at the many pups and restaurants and cafes along the way. We then took our first meal of the day at a cafe along the way call "Xiao Yu Tian". Big FAN & SMALL FAN ordered their toast which was nice and crispy while I decided to indulge in a bowl of hot "maggi noodles". It's actually maggi noodles with hotdog, luncheon meat, ham and egg with tomatoes and vegetables plus ketchup. It's really sinful but really really yummy....I'm still drooling pver it as I typed this post now.
After a hearty breakfast, we continue our way down the escalators and visited the wet market along the way.
SMALL FAN was really intrigue by the seafoods and was asking me about their names.

We continue our journey downhill until we reach Hong Kong Central where we walked around the busy central and visited some of the street markets. Big FAN & I bought lots of shirt and pants for the 2 kids in a cut-labelled store...phew....Now we have to think of way to squeeze all these extra clothings into our "One Big Luggage".
After some shopping and walking around, we decided to went back to our apartment for a rest before going out to meet our friend at night. We decided to "ta bao" some of their famous Char Siew Rice for lunch at the apartment instead. The Char Siew tasted quite yummy although I felt that it was a little too thick and chunky so it's kinda tough to bite. Guess I still prefer the Singapore version.
Meet Uncle TY for dinner that night at Causeway Bay and do some window shopping there. After that, SMALL FAN wanted to try taking a Tram. So we hop on board one that brings us all the way back to Hong Kong Island where we then take a Taxi up to our apartment. The tram service was really cheap, cost us HK$2. It's a great and cool ride home...yeah!
