HK2018 - Part 1

And just like that, we've been in HK for 6 days now and will be heading back in a couple more days. How fast time flies when you're on holiday!

22 Oct 
- Arrived in HK at about lunch time. Had lunch at Tsui Wah in the airport, got ourselves data sim cards, took the Airport Express train to Hong Kong Central station and cabbed it to the hotel. 
- Checked in, napped, headed out to cousin.Ming's restaurant for a quick dinner and then back to the hotel for an early lunch.

23 Oct 
- Brekkie in the hotel and back to the room to rest for a bit. We head out to explore a little but go back soon so that the little one can rest. The little one is feeling sniffly so we stay in the hotel room while +3 continues to explore the surrounding areas. He comes back and shares that Victoria Park is nearby and there are a few playgrounds there.
- Have lunch at Windsor House near Victoria Park and eat at some Japanese curry place. Nothing you can't find in SG. 
- Little one plays in the playground for an hour or so and we head back to cool down.
- Meet Andi for dinner and discover that Sister Wah, which is just across the street from the hotel, has amazing beef brisket. 
- End the evening with coffee and cake at the hotel while chatting with Andi.

24 Oct 
- Head out to meet Da Ma after brekkie at the hotel. We have dim sum. The little one impresses everyone with his hearty appetite when cousin.Ming feeds him. Think he finished 2 baos, one (big) matball, and a chee cheong fun roll with prawn.
- Go to Da Ma's new home. It's slightly bigger than her old place and the boy takes a nap while +3 catch up with family.
- I'm getting used to afternoon naps too!
- Head out for dinner and meet with another cousin. The little one eats a lot! 1/2 bowl of rice, 2 bowls of lobster noodles, and a fair bit of beef. He also ate the chives dish. 
- He ate so much that he had a poo-explosion at the restaurant. Cleaned him up and headed back to bathe.
