Where To Go This Weekend - Mui Wo, Hong Kong

My first trip to Mui Wo.
I've been living in Hong Kong for more than 10 years and this is my first time to Mui Wo.
Oh well, better late than never.

We chose to go to Mui Wo by taking the ferry from Central Pier 6.
SC suggested that since we can't afford Business or First Class flights, we try Deluxe Class Ferry.
HAHA.

Bad decision.
It's stuffy and made me feel seasick.
Ordinary is much better.

Luckily, OB enjoyed his ferry ride very much.


We walked around Mui Wo without reading much about it.
That seems to be our modus operandi when we are exploring a new place.
Ahem. LAZY.

It's funny how when we see something like this in another country, I'd take 2348346 pictures of it, and when I saw it in Hong Kong I just took 3 pictures. Heheheh.

It's not really the right weather for the beach, but we let OB play with his Optimus Prime there for a bit.

We saw Big6 parents who stripped their kid completely naked to play in the water. Shudder... I don't wanna think about it.

We checked out the cultural centre, full of cool vintage stuff which prompted SC to take selfies...


Cute things, cute things...


Everywhere cute things.


A lovely sighting of preserved meat...

I resisted the temptation to take a selfie with it.

What are these gorgeous buildings? They can't be people's residence???


We decided to take on the challenge and walk to the waterfall with cranky, tired and hungry OB.


The wonderful things about Hong Kong spring...

... 17C weather and pretty flowers everywhere.



Finally, we reached the waterfall!
Telling my dudes to not climb up there is as useful as trying to stop me eating bacon...


Mommy lets out a big sigh when they got off the waterfall safely.


We took a different route back to the ferry terminal.


Gorgeous blooms everywhere.




Turn a corner, another beautiful sight...


We were so hungry when we reached the ferry terminal.
We had early dinner at the most crowded place, Bahce Turkish Restaurant.

Lovely Turkish tea - HK$30, unlimited refill.


Platter of hot meze. Delicious.


I love their soup.


Beef kofta. Not bad at all.

We decided to take a different route back home. We took bus to Tung Chung MTR station instead of taking ferry to Central.
Both routes result in similar travel time for us.
We went home absolutely exhausted but really happy about the trip.

On to our next adventure next week~
(trying to avoid Toys 'R Us every weekend)

Steak Dinner Date Night - L'Entrecôte De Paris Restaurant, Central, Hong Kong

Thanks to L'Entrecôte De Paris Restaurant for inviting us.


The place is lovely and people can make reservations. Good for those who don't like lining up ;)

Here's what we had...







Love love LOVE this clam dish. The sauce is so tasty, we used the clam shell to scoop and drank it.


I've never been a salad person, but ok - veggie quota of the day gets ticked off our list.


The beef is lean and very tender.


The sauce is tasty.


Yummy fries swimming in sauce - my favorite.

Their desserts... I like!

I am always partial and always have to order the chocolatiest thing on the menu. This chocolate cake is so good! Moist, chocolatey. I love.


The Paris Brest is really good too.


To summarize, these are the things I like:
- You can book a table
- There are appetizers other than the salad
- There is salmon and vegetarian option for those who don't eat steak (I didn't try the salmon though)
- Their fries and sauce
- The desserts

Here are the prices:

Many asked how does this one compare to La Vache or Le Relais de l'Entrecote.
I do like La Vache's steak, but I don't really enjoy lining up... and I enjoy some decent desserts to end my meal with. So, I'm torn.
I have yet to try Le Relais de l'Entrecote - maybe one day when I feel like lining up. Heheheh.

Have you tried them all? Which one is your favorite?

Where To Go This Weekend - Kadoorie Farm, Hong Kong

Not sure where to go this weekend? Parents of young children who are tired of spending all of your fancy meals money in Toys 'R Us? Want to see cute pigs in real life?
Check out Kadoorie Farm.

This cutie pie only comes out from 1:30 - 4:30 pm.
Warning: they're so cute, they might make you wanna eat less bacon.


Another animalistic highlight: the mountain cats.
So gorgeous!


Try looking eye-to-eye with this little guy.
This one's a total poser. He worked the camera like a super model.


See you later, alligator!


We brought some food, but we still had to have something from the lovely Sun Garden Cafe.
Fusili mushroom carbonara.
Tasted so good, especially because we're so hungry.


Mushroom and cheese toasties.

Delicious!



This place has more than 2000 species of plants.
So many gorgeous flowers!


So many gorgeous ones that I've never seen before!




My dudes love it here.






It's as though we've been transported to a different world!

Is this really Hong Kong?
Yes, it is.

If you haven't been there, go for it!
My tips are on the blog post of my previous visit.
