Canton-I: JB City Square

Canton-I, specializing in flavours from the region of China - Canton is part of the Dragon-i Group.

They have a branch in ION Orchard which I've tried once long time ago.

The roasted pork was so (sinfully) gooood and the pork porridge with dried oyster was surprisingly delicious!

I had lost the photos due to some phone backup errors previously :(

But no worries! Upon knowing that there's a branch in JB City Square, we decided to take advantage of the good exchange rates and as an excuse for a weekend "getaway" by paying a visit to the Canton-I in Malaysia.

The interior isn't as intricate and unique as the branch at ION Orchard.

Still, the cheery pink and white combi makes me very happy ^^

Should I have a pink room like this for my house next time? lol.

Deep fried beancurd with pepper and salt.

This is a MUST HAVE!

Though deep fried, it is not oily at all. The skin is so thin and crispy that you wouldn't feel guilty at all for eating soon. Sooner than you will realise, you would have already finished the entire plate (oops, me la me la).

The inside so soft and *healthy*

Abalone porridge which is very good too!

But not much ingredients in it. I would prefer Ah Biao abalone noodles anytime! :P'''

The pork belly is slightly different from Singapore's.

Not as crispy :(

Dimsum were pretty much average, except for the salted egg yolk custard bun.

:P```

Ginseng wolfberry aloe vera drink, very yummy!

Here's a piggy bun which looks so cuteeee. But we were too full to stomach any more food.

Til the next time!

Hong Kong Day 4 - Ocean Park & Langham Place

Highlight of our trip was Ocean Park! <3

Take the MTR to Admiralty station and transfer to the Citybus 629 at the bus terminal.

Bus 629 starts running from 9am to 4pm, coming at intervals of 10 mins.

The bus fares are $10.6 for adults and $5.3 for children (aged 4-11).

You may purchase the Ocean Park tickets at the ticket counter beside the bus booth.

However, right before we came out from the MTR station, we saw this store that sells the Ocean Park tickets at only HKD250 (usual price HKD280)! :D

Warm healthy tea to start our day!

3 kungku pandas :'O

Now the real ones. Hahah.

The other one was super funny!

See how it sleeps, unglam!

Went to look at fishes.

Panda goldfish? :X

More pandas....

Cute tiny monkey!

Then we took the ocean park tram to the theme park sector.

M wanted to take the cable car, but erm, i'm too scaredy cat. hehe.

First ride we took that made our necks sore the following day! :(

The following 2 rides are the only "thrilling" rides I took..

They're built so near the edge of the mountain that it feels higher than the height of the ride when you're at the top! Cos you get to look down the mountain to the sea and etc. DAMN SCARY lahhh.

Terrified til i sat down on the base of the ferris wheel cabin instead of the seat :/

M took all the scary roller-coasters available that day.

*clapclaps*

Rides that look down to this :/

It was freaking misty and freezing that day.

But we still braved the cold and went looking at the cold climate animals!

Love the spotted otters!

Penguins!!

Swimming underneath my feet!

Ended our day of fun at the old Hong Kong street.

That pretty much sums up our Ocean Park trip.

Not many photos cos I was too cold to take out my camera! :X

But still, it was so much fun :D I would love to go back one day when the weather is much better.

We took the same bus back to Admiralty and then the MTR to Mongkok station to Langham place.

Love the mall for its wide variety of beauty & skincare stores/counters! 

Prices are comparable to Sasa stores, and the of cos the stores carry a wider range of products!

Also, Langham place offers free wi-fi, which is convenient for people like us who didn't get the data sim cards.

They have a special discount card for tourist called the LP card.

We didn't bring our passports along that day, but the stores gave us freebies and samples nevertheless. Very good and genuine service :)

Bought more skincare there as a result -_-

Had hot soupy ramen to defroze ourselves lol.

Tasted real good! :D
