We were on a 3D2N packaged tour to Hong Kong this time round with JTB. It was the second time Momorange was going to Hong Kong!
And as usual, our first pic on a trip almost always starts with a wefie on the plane.
Some islands near Hong Kong. Not sure which country they belong to.
Upon landing in Hong Kong, we were fetched by coach to Royal Plaza Hotel. Yes, we stayed there once again. Had a good experience staying there in our last trip so it was really pleasant to stay there for the second time. By the time we reached the hotel, it was already 3pm.
A spacious room. Even comes with a platform area for one to relax at.
A huge bathtub. Nice!
Exquisite design.
Nice toilet and bathing area too.
Here's what the corridor looks like.
We unloaded our luggage into our rooms, then gathered to be brought to a restaurant nearby called "Super Star Seafood Restaurant" within the same Grand Century Place building. We had mostly dim sum. The real seafood meal was to be at dinner. Can't wait!
A special dessert made to look like bunnies. How cute!
Did not see any superstars in the restaurant.
After the meal, it was free and easy until dinner time. Dear and I then ventured around the area. It's always nice to wander around aimlessly when you're on a trip. You never know what you're gonna find.
The usual Hong Kong scene you'll see in all shows.
We then visited Langham Place and its many floors of shops, restaurants and various other kinds of interesting things. There was even a My Melody and Kuromi Pop-up Cafe.
My Melody and Kuromi Pop-up Cafe.
Another usual scene of Hong Kong. Dilapidated buildings among other newer buildings.
And Langham Place Hotel is just across the road and also connected by a link bridge.
Interesting interiors of Langham Place.
View from the bottom of the extremely long escalator.
After our window-shopping, we returned to the hotel where we gathered with the others in the tour group to be fetched to our seafood dinner place. It was called "Chuen Kee Seafood Restaurant".
Chuen Kee Seafood Restaurant 全记海鲜酒家
Address: 87-93 Man Nin Street, Sai Kung, Hong Kong
Look at the stacks of tanks of fresh seafood outside the restaurant and you can tell how particular they are in ensuring customers get the freshest seafood daily. The amount and variety of seafood displayed was stunning. When we first arrived at the restaurant, most of us took pictures with these creatures still in their tanks. But sadly, some of them were gonna be inside our stomachs pretty soon. Oops!
You can see this very striking neon signboard from a distance.
Just look at the amount of live seafood they have here!
It looks almost like a seafood market.
After the eye-opener, we were then led to our table, where our dishes were served one after the other. Let the pictures do the talking. And yes, pretty much all of them ended up in our stomachs.
Deep-fried fish.
That's lobster.
Prawns.
There's chicken too.
Some garlic scallops.
Of course some veggies to balance it up.
Abalones. They were pretty tough though...
Steamed fish.
Some rice in thick gravy.
As shown, we did not finish the tons of food in front of us. It was way too much.
Pretty decent and fresh seafood. The only thing we didn't like was the abalone which was too tough to handle. The rest of the dishes were quite okay.
After dinner, the coach then fetched us back to our hotels. It's Disneyland tomorrow! Looking forward to it.
