The bus took longer than i thought... an hour of windy roads @@. But we're here!!




First stop to shelter from the heat - tofu hua with special syrup and yellow powder (honey maybe?). Fyi tofu hua in ngong pis a 名物 


tian tan buddha
Beh said she saw a hong kong drama where the mother-in-law made the girl climb all the way up and down the stairs in HEELS to prove her love for the husband. Then the girl fainted when she reached back downstairs LOL

We were tired plus wei ling got carsick from the bus trip earlier so we decided to sayang ourselves and splash out by taking the cable car back (bus- HKD17.2, cable car-HKD86)

This is the crystal cabin which cost an extra HKD44 compared to the standard ones we rode. It has a glass bottom i think... other than that i don't see no other differences except the queue for it is a lot shorter compared to ours because of the price.



ngong ping cable car
 The views from the cable car were spectacular!! I was to find out later that the ngong ping cable car is an attraction itself haha. We thought it was just a faster way to travel.

Anddd we're back at Tung Chung station.




elementselements
Beh suggested that we should go Elements, a shopping mall targeted for upper middle class with lots of high-end shops - just to 'experience'. It's connected to Kowloown MTR station so we don't have to do much walking yay! Bought nothing as expected haha.


And finally - LADIES STREET! At long last a place we (hopefully) can buy stuff.
ladies market

ladies market
Ladies Street is ok but there are some shops you really need to bargain or you'll get cheated.

We are fast workers haha. Each of us bought a pair of shoes within 20 minutes! Me and beh bought the same pink with cute ribbon wedges.

Famous shop for guilin gao according to beh.
 Beh very geng..Knows all the famous food. We just need to follow her ^^


This was very yummy and fun!

My shou huo for the day!
