Sorely Travel Overseas : Hong Kong


Hello guys ! I am back ! I'm here to update my recent events. I have traveled to Hong Kong and China at Guang Zhou recently , this is my very first sole journey ! Good Job Judith ! 

( Actually right now I was having my final exams so after blog , work hard and study hard. )


Despite I had traveled many times to Kuala Lumpur but I still forgot which floor was for international flight , which floor was for domestic flight lol. 

By the way , it hadn't changed much but luggage part had changed a lot , which you had to check in yourself at the kiosk because everything was in automatic system prepared and DIY.

I had thought many things , this might be my last journey before further studying DEGREE in college because we had the attachment to do after finishing a semester. Could not skip it so we had to follow what they had arranged.


It was so hectic when back from college and I had a little headache , I rushed to the airport on the very next day , to tell honestly , I really forgot to bring my towel. Apparently , the hotel did provide the towel.

I just brought some clothes and pants , 100 ml shampoo and some snacks that I might eat during the trip. I sat at zone one , ( last 24 hours check in lol ). After checking in boarding pass , usually we would put back our identity card into wallet. Despite I really put it back , but I was paranoid , keep thinking about whether I had put back my card to wallet.

Did I have obsessive-compulsive disorder ? For the first time facing the situation like this , I had to overcome it. Need to struggle with my mind from all the way from Sibu to Kuala Lumpur . Don't laugh at me , it's true.

And finally !! ( maybe because the next flight we use passport lol ). I had no air pod , so I wrote a little bit on novel at my Iphone notes. Still waiting for my Iphone 5s to be back because I could listen to any music with earphone.

I always love morning flight , because the sunrise is really beautiful , but after that , it will be hot lol. Need to close the window shield. Early morning , the airport was very sparse of people.

We went to family mart and MCD to have our lunch. 


This matcha roll slice looked delicious , keep luring me to buy it. 


Those grilled salmon onigiri looked so appetizer. 


Despite it really small , two bites may finish them all. 


Finally I tried long-awaited hot and delicious pie in MCD. 


It was black glutinous rice taste , a little bit sweet but still considered okay.


Then we ate what we bought just now , it was a percik sandwich. The meat was curry flavour , so far so good. 


My dad ordered chicken rice while booking the ticket. 


So I had food to eat ! 


The way to Hong Kong is a bit boring and stuffy. 

Initially was cold and someone was complaining about the temperature , flight attendant turned it higher , first two hours I felt dizzy but after that , they turned the temperature lower. 


All the way it took four hours to arrive in Hong Kong.

Millions of skyscrapers in Hong Kong.


Most of the things I could see is , high rise buildings and skyscrapers.


Tada , arrived safely !!! When I walked out of the aircraft , the sun penetrated my skin directly. The glare of sunlight at 5 p.m... 


Hong Kong airport was huge , the design might look the same with us but the gate was different.


My first reaction to Hong Kong when I stepped outside. HOT , hotter than Malaysia. It was like I was inside a steamer. I stood beside the bus station , waited for the bus at the open-air station. It took one hour to arrive at our hotel. It was so convenient because seven - eleven was not far away from us.

We went to a seafood restaurant. The place was huge and clean and every single corner with marble design. We ordered around thousands of HKD. It was half of MYR.


Somehow I didn't know what I had eaten , but I gave thumbs up , delicious and yummy.


Dried Bean Curd Stick fried with bitter grounds , what a new try ? Maybe we could try it at home how was the taste , did it actually taste like what's the chief cooked at restaurant ? 


Seafood fried with vegetables. The fish meat was juicy and fresh. Every bite made your tongue upgrade to higher level.


This is Solen Gouldi seafood , it tasted nice , didn't have any fishy smell.


I didn't know what was the vegetables was , but it tasted a bit bitter.


Solen Gouldi seafood , it looks like bamboo shape of seafood. 


I really love fried toufu fried with chicken meat. 


Overall , the foods were delectable. I love it.


The street was just like in Hong Kong drama scenes , cool and anesthetic.


I saw many workers come and bought a can of beer. What I saw was , I seldom saw other people smoke in the public area ? I really dislike to be the second-hand smoker. It brought more harmful and toxins to other people. Please stay away from those people.

I slept very late at night , because the air-con didn't work efficiently , it was very hot in the living room while very cold in the room. Totally couldn't tahan that temperature contrast. 


I woke up early in the morning around 5:30 a.m. and it was already daytime. Could not believe it because it still dark in our country.

The next day , we tried to explore the local life , saw how they live in the city. I just knew that they very different from us , they got their classes at 0800 / 0900 , still seeing the students walking around. 

One thing I could tell is , I love their uniform , every school with different uniform , I love their white skirt , and blue skirt. And I also saw one of the uniforms like cheongsam design. It looked unique.


Ohhh , that building colour looked so great.


In the early morning , there was nobody walking on the street. It looked really desolate.


MCD 24 hours ! 


At 8 30 am , the street became busy ,  people were busy walking to their work places and schools.


It just like what we saw at the Hong Kong drama scenes, they were busy for work and study. I just knew that their things and goods sold were quite expensive. 


Busy people becomes more and more.


Their cars drove in very high speed. You could feel the shakes whenever a car passed by.


 To conclude , the road and the street were busy , there were many people passing by.


Last night we had passed by a huge playground , every person removed the outer attire , the temperature was warmer than Malaysia , definitely sweat a lot.

We had our breakfast at somewhere else which I couldn't recall back because I forgot to capture down the name but the dishes they served were so nice especially the bun and rice. 


Finally I tried out local dim sum !  Rawrrrr , every local food looked so delicious but also expensive lol. 


This dish called rice noodles , mostly of the local people would ordered this , because it easily to get full and probably wouldn't get hungry within four hours.


I really really recommended this " Chinese Molten Salted Egg Custard Steamed Buns " / " 流沙包 ". That molten salted egg looked like gudetama.  


Every single bite was soft , the texture was smooth. 


After eating those foods , it made my taste bud upgraded to another level and become more fastidious.


Initially I thought that the tea could be direct drink while my cousin said that , first round of the tea was washing the plate and then the second round for drinking.


The purpose of doing this was because to sterilize the bacteria. After they washed the plate , they might put somewhere else we didn't know. To be safe , don't forget to do this part.


The tableware must be washed before using it. Usually we just eat , but they use hot tea or hot water to wash. DO IT YOURSELF. The staff wouldn't help to wash. But the hot water and hot tea could be refilled as many times as you want ?


The internal design looked beautiful !

After that , we went to ShenZhen in China. We had to use passport to go through the immigration. The staff was too cute.


How's my Hong Kong journey ? Is that interesting lol. I think a bit rush because we only stay one night there and move to China for one week.

Stay tune with my China posts ! Subscribe it if you like it.


With Love ,

Billion Seafood Restaurant 百利火锅海鲜店 @ Ki Lung Street in Prince Edward , Hong Kong


This was my first time went to Hong Kong and it also my first restaurant to dine in at night which was Billion Seafood Restaurant at Ki Lung Street.


From the exterior of the restaurant , we knew that it looked luxury and expensive. And yeah , we came in to have our first meal in here.


We didn't order too much , because only two teenagers at here only. Mostly the people who dined in here would order seafood steamboat , but elder people seldom ate those things despite it looked delicious ?

Okay , we ordered light food ? Maybe we can considered medium taste food.


Tada , one of my favourite dishes was Dried Bean Curd Stick fried with bitter grounds. It totally a new try for me , because I hadn't eaten in that way , I mean most of the dried bean curd stick usually fried with chicken curry or some sort of that heavy tastes food. 


Yeahhh ! Fish meat fried with vegetables. ( actually I don't know what is that vegetables name. )


The fish meat was juicy and fresh. Every bite made your tongue upgrade to higher level.


This is Solen Gouldi seafood , it tasted nice , didn't have any fishy smell.


Closer look of This is Solen Gouldi seafood , it looked unusually-shaped but when you ate , smooth texture and chewy.


When I ate the chicken meat , the chicken bone was too hard and it hurt my upper oral cavity. It was so hurt while I drank the hot tea. * sob *


I couldn't recall back what was the name of the dishes. When I finished most of the food , I had full until my throat lol. Probably the dish was delicious.


I really love fried toufu fried with chicken meat. The soup was nice , I could eat a plate of rice with that only dish.


Fish meat was fresh and sweet. I did remember there was a lot of fish bone inside the fish meat ?

Tada , overall we ate around thousand Hong Kong Dollar lol. It was half of Malaysia Ringgit.


Thank God for giving us an amazing time to meet our beloved cousins. They are too cute to tell !
