Our first trip away from China since moving here last summer was to Hong Kong! Although, it was a short and official trip, I was still very excited to finally see Hong Kong outside the airport. I’ve been to Hong Kong before, but every time I was just passing through on my way to other destinations.

We took the ferry from Shunde port to Hong Kong. That took us 2 hours and I was surprised to find familiar inscriptions on the windows of the ferry. Obviously, there were no interesting sights during the ferry boat ride, or otherwise I’d come up with something better than familiar inscriptions. Arriving at the Kowloon harbour was just like the movies. Our first stop was to check into our hotel located on Nathan Road. Hubby proceeded on to his official purpose for the trip. I was happy to find out that our hotel was located on the very expensive shopping street of Kowloon.

Hubby got back in time for lunch, so we checked out where some of the best Hong Kong restaurants were and managed to find one that would serve me what I miss since moving to Asia. Chicken Caesar salad and hubby ordered his favorite pasta! We missed this food terribly. After lunch, we decided to walk to the Avenue of Stars, which is also not for from where we were. The Avenue is a very famous spot in Hong Kong located at the Kowloon harbour. We took some photos of the ’stars’ dedicated to the superstars of Hong Kong show business.

For dinner, we decided on Asian food this time. We found a restaurant serving Hainanese chicken rice that was next to our hotel. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that good. We’re spoiled by the restaurant in Victoria, Australia, they have the best Hainanese chicken rice, no one seems to compare, as of yet.
