Hong Kong Travelogue 2016 - #ZouSanKitties: Day Four

Ready to face the cold temperatures today! Actually, bwahahah NOPE.. 
According to Google, it was around 10 deg Celsius.. but we forgot to check the area we were going to.
Lantau Island was only a freaking 6 deg Celsius
#nearlyfrozetodeath

Nevertheless.. I think I'm more game with trying outfits when I'm overseas.
Definitely wouldn't wear knee high socks in Sg!

Like how it elongates my legs though.


Changed our plans to walk up this steep slope for breakfast (Sing Heung Yuen 勝香園)
because it was too cold hahahah


Decided to go back to Kam Wah Cafe 金華冰廳 - rmb the one with the really good polo bun? 
We wanted to have another traditional cha chaan teng breakfast; 
and I was vehemently against going to Aust. Dairy Co. :x

Nothing beats simple and filling fare for breakfast.
Especially when its so cold out there and you're slurping macaroni soup.


Club sandwich - ordered for one, finished by three kats HAHAH. serving so big!


Mreowwwww.
WTF I look damn pale and sick next to them :x




Wah the tickets are so cute this time round !
Apparently there's some Hello Kitty collaboration - too bad Bimb wasn't here!


While waiting. 
Due to the cold weather and winds, they slowed down the speed of the cable cars. 

Omg just thinking about the no. of times they checked their lipstick status before snapping photos..
it is still bugging me HAHAHAHA


Ahgong Ahma Hello Kitteh!


Two little kittens, were so very freezing,
they needed starbucks mugs to keep them warm.


Yeah I'm the crazy cat lady. 
Sheltering fat cats in the rain is ma job.


Bwahahahaha I really loveeeeee manekinekos.


Okay it was freezing cold and pouring like mad when we were at the foot of the Tian Tan Buddha 昂坪天壇大佛
Sheets of rain was literally cascading down the stairs, and it was super foggy so we couldn't see the statue at all.
So we contemplated if we should even try making the journey up.

In the end, we decided that since we endured the cold (25 min cable car ride in 6 deg Celsius weather, with unprepared attire),
we might as well go all the way.
So despite the mini staircase waterfall, we trudged our way up the stairs.

And miraculously, once we reached the top, the fog cleared.
I kid you not, it was originally a thick white blanket and you couldn't see shit,
yet suddenly everything went a lot clearer.


In general, I'm not a very religious person.
I believe in the existence of gods, but I don't believe in doing acts of obeisance just to prove/show something.

Following your conscience and being able to stick to your morals is my philosophy.
Because if you do smth just because your religion 'requires' you to do, yet you have no morals, 
it is nothing more than a farce.

However, sometimes I can't help but feel that certain acts of sincerity actually do prove that divine intervention exists.
Sometimes.

Sad green kat, caught in the rain with this unflattering outfit hahahaha.
Function over form, woman.


Shopping! 
Again, nothing much to buy or shout about.. 
except that I rmb Jh and Pearlyn falling in love with a sushi handroll stall in Kwai Chung Plaza

Seriously, these two taobao so much, it's pretty pointless to bring them shopping anywhere.
I was kinda annoyed cause they kept comparing prices and yet, 
still asked if there was any other shopping malls to recommend.

I think at one point I told them sarcastically that ya, please check out taobao.com LOL.

Ichiran for dinner!
Actually it's damn weird, trying Ichiran for the first time in HK wtf wrong country much.


Ichiran 一蘭
8 Minden Ave 棉登徑8
Entrance Hall on G/F & Shop B, Basement
地庫B舖及地下入口大堂

Nearest MTR: Tsim Sha Tsui
Exit N5, Walk down Mody Road 麽地道
Turn right into Minden Ave 棉登徑

Order slip, pretty straightforward.
Unlike Japan, you simply circle and hand it over to the waiter.



Lucky for us, there's a choice to opt for table seatings.



Companions to pair with my ramen!

Shikaibicha 脂解美茶 - HKD$39 
A blend of dokudaimi and oolong tea, which helps to cleanse your palate after the meal.
Tastes like your usual chinese tea lor. hahahah.

Half boiled salted egg 半熟盐煮蛋 - HKD$14
You know, after I ordered this,
I suddenly felt damn scared that they would serve me the traditional salted egg instead HAHAHA.
#bimbomoment


Taaaadaaaa Ichiran's one and only ramen! - HKD$89
For the first time when I try anything new, I'll make sure to order the original version.

This was almost perfect; the slice of tonkotsu wasn't melt in your mouth enough hahahah.
The soup is super addictive, especially with the Ichiran Original Red sauce.
Its not actually very spicy, but the taste of red peppers makes the soup not too cloying.


Also tried this ! Matcha Annin Tofu - HKD$49
Sadly this was meh; the almond tofu totally overpowered the matcha taste.
The matcha sauce had a weird texture that didn't blend with the tofu too.
It was a sticky, gelatinous clear sauce which fought with the otherwise smooth tofu.

So disappointed :x 


OMG OUR LAST DAY face. bwahahahaha.
