Date:<\/strong> January 2013<\/p>\n

It was another impromptu trip to Hong Kong. JR was on duty travel and I decided to tag along, making use of the opportunity to \u00e4\u00b9\u00b0\u00e4\u00b8\u0153\u00e8\u00a5\u00bf\u00e5\u0090\u0192\u00e4\u00b8\u0153\u00e8\u00a5\u00bf. Since this would be a \u00e4\u00b9\u00b0\u00e4\u00b8\u0153\u00e8\u00a5\u00bf\u00e5\u0090\u0192\u00e4\u00b8\u0153\u00e8\u00a5\u00bf trip, I didn’t bring MarkII along this time round. All photos were taken using my iPhone.<\/p>\n

Date:<\/strong> 29 January 2013 Tuesday<\/p>\n

Took the earliest flight to Hong Kong on a Tuesday morning. The load was quite alright for me to board the plane.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My breakfast inflight meal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

JR looked extremely tired.<\/p>\n

13:50 PM Langham Place Mongkok
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arrived at Langham Place Mongkok Hotel. Once again, we were back at this hotel, one of our favourites because of its location.<\/p>\n

Buffet lunch!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They didn’t have the curry soup base during lunch so we had to settle with clear and soya soup bases.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Eating healthy with all the vegetables.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The soup looked like this after we were done with our meal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Temple was extremely crowded due to Chinese New Year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Caught a group of people filming something for CNY … No idea who the artists are.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Date:<\/strong> 31 January 2013 Thursday<\/p>\n

A boring Thursday for me. JR was off for work and I was left alone in the hotel room to catch some rest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ordered brunch… Too much for 1 person.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mushroom soup was delicious.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wagyu Beef Burger Set<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The beef was a little tough and too dry for my liking. The fries were nice though.<\/p>\n

19:00 PM\u00c2\u00a0\u00e7\u2030\u203a\u00e8\u00a7\u2019\u00e6\u2014\u00a5\u00e6\u0153\u00ac\u00e7\u0192\u00a7\u00e8\u201a\u2030\u00e4\u00b8\u201c\u00e5\u008d\u2013\u00e5\u00ba\u2014 Gyu-Kaku<\/strong><\/p>\n

JR came back at around 6+ PM and off we go for dinner on the last night in Hong Kong. We walked into a random restaurant along Sai Yeung Choi St S.<\/p>\n
