HK Day 5 : Avenue of Stars (Jan'08)

The Avenue of Stars is located at the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, which is just a stroll away from our hostel.Hubby's Idol, Bruce Lee. The statue marked the 65th anniversary of Lee’s birth.The Avenue of Stars consist of a series of floor plaques to pay tribute to eminent Hong Kong film workers.
On the left, the Hong Kong Film Award Sculpture standing tall.
On the right, the most famous actress of all leaving her mark at Avenue of Stars.

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttt!!!!!Hubby acting in the new Kung Fu Movie as Bruce Lee:

Then we went over to HK Central for breakfast. Actually planing to eat the Famous Roasted Goose, but it only open at 11am. So instead, we just randomly went into 1 of the road side stall & ordered Pig Blood Congee **gasp** which I tot was PORK meat. My bad.Then we stroll around Stanley Street & looked at more CNY decor stuff. I bought more paper lantern **evil grin**

Once it strike 11am, we went straight to
Yung Kee, a restaurant has been in business for decades and has the awards to prove it. It's famous for it's roast goose. That's why we din mind waiting until the opening time than to miss it.

This is at the front of the shop. Looks normal kopitiam right? Fortune Magazine named it as one of the top 15 restaurants in the world: the only Chinese restaurant to be included in the list. We were ushered quickly to the 3rd floor once we step into the restaurant. It look like a very high class ahem * damn expensive* ahem restaurant as everything was too clean & too neat & too tidy & too many waiter & waitress around. Even the decor looks grand with lotsa gold trim. When I flip open the menu, I almost fainted. O.M.G. my poor wallet, it's gonna get even more lighter. Here's hubby enjoying the *world most expensive* Roasted Goose. To me, it tasted ok lar, not as over the moon as I was made to believe. Hubby said it tasted like our Local Roasted Duck saja -_-"After striking out the Roasted Goose from our MUST EAT LIST, we went to Harbour City. It's the city's biggest mall, it's GIGANTIC, at over three kilometers long the mall boast nearly 800 shops.

Went we got there, Hubby insist on getting those socks with toes, as he ran out of clean socks. We walk & walk & walk searching everywhere even at CK, Esprit, Adidas, Nike & DKNY & all those sports outlet but we can't find any. Then hubby saw Hush Puppies on the directories but it was located at the far end of our opposite side. I walk until my legs went numb & when we finally got there ....they r only selling shoes, NO SOCKS like here in Tun Jugah!!! arrgghh

The only bright side was there r these game console in front of the shop & hubby excitedly jump into it & make himself comfortable at the seat & in no time was enjoying himself.
Nice red red lantern:After doing our last minutes shopping of egg-rolls & more esprit T-shirt, we sadly pack our bags. How the heck can the bag b so FULL??!! Hubby kept complaining that it's SO freaking heavy. And on the way he kept $#^%*&$#$@ too as we used the MTR so all the steps was killing him. With a heavy heart (& sore feet) we headed to the Ferry Terminal for our trip to Macau on a TURBOJET ... wohoooo...
It looks like a Ferrari TurboJet don't u think:
The word
city is inadequate to describe HK. Vibrant, chaotic, yet weirdly 0rdered, vertical beyond belief, ancient, yet ultra Modern & completely jammed with activity around the clock.

I can't get enough of HK in 5 days, that's why I've booked another flight to this awesome city Jan next year just before CNY. Hopefully 7 more months will be enough to save some money for the vacation. Can't wait.
