My Hong Kong Diaries: The Happiest Place on Earth

 Breakfast before making our way down to the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland.

Like most restaurants in Hong Kong, food is pretty decent (ie. quite good), so I did enjoy my breakfast. Nothing better than to start the day with a hearty breakfast, right?

 It's ADORABLE. Even the MTR line to Disneyland Resort incorporates Disney elements (and is more comfy than the usual MTRs)

HK Disneyland's newer attraction (since last year?), Toy Story Land!

Being someone who grew up with Toy Story, I loved how the design and layout incorporated so many aspects of the show. Some of the rides here do make HK Disneyland a bit more attractive to the youth  (with their slightly more thrilling rides), so I do think it's been a good decision that Disney decided to build this new attraction!

I forgot its name, but you HAVE TO take the ride here! 

 BALLOONS!

 Lunch! We were so hungry, everything tasted awesome. LOL.

 Tarzan's home

The Sleeping Beauty Castle

I swear, after visiting Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, This castle cannot compare to the grandioseness of the Cinderella Castle. Not complaining though. Disney Parks are my favourite places on Earth. 

I was in a dilemma while drafting the post. I had so many photos of Disneyland that I realised it would simply be INSANE if I included them all in one post. So, while this post features most of my time in Hong Kong Disneyland, my next post will feature the Flights of Fantasy parade.

Anyway, for some bizarre reason, the queues were really short (by Disney Parks standards), and we managed to take almost all the rides AND catch a couple of shows. 

Tip for Disney Park goers: Always try to find live performances in the Disney Park. We caught two live performances (with live singing), and were blown away by some of the talents of the performers! 

(Fine, I was ogling the guy who played Tarzan too)

I love Disney. It always reminds me of my childhood, and that dreams are wishes our heart makes.

and sometimes, all you need is Faith, Trust and a little bit of Pixie Dust.

Australia Dairy Company (My Hong Kong Diaries)

With strong recommendations by numerous friends, the group of us decided to pay a trip to the Australia Dairy Company for a late lunch. To our surprise, the place was actually pretty packed even in the mid afternoon. I wonder how it's actually like during meal times.

With the set, you have a choice of macaroni or spaghetti

BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS EVER. LIKE SERIOUSLY, EVER. 

 Their famous milk puddings

My lunch at the Australia Dairy Company is hands down one of THE BEST meals I've had in my entire Hong Kong trip.

Only AFTER the trip did I realise that they are also famous for their scrambled egg with toast! But I really should have known. They had the best scrambled eggs and toast that I have EVER ingested. EVER. But in all honesty, the scrambled eggs are the best thing there.

One really interesting thing about the Australia Dairy Company is how quickly they serve the dishes. By quick, I mean, they're already serving the food as we were ordering. Talk about fast.

While some MAY perceive it as bad/rude service, I do think that their efficiency is something to applaud, and definitely a point that gives them a bit more character apart from all the other restaurants.

Overall, I would say you HAVE TO try the Australia Dairy Company if you ever end up in Hong Kong.

If you're visiting Hong Kong anytime soon, drop by the Australia Dairy Company at:

My Hong Kong Diaries: Avenue of Stars (Part 2)

 Personally, this is my favourite photo of the Hong Kong skyline.

Have I mentioned how much I disliked hated the cloud and fog in Hong Kong? Not that I have anything against cool weather, but they're not ideal for photos. Every photo in the daytime is a constant debate over flash or no flash because of that disgustingly glaring, white background the cloud and fog creates.

Thankfully, we now live in a world where photo editing is commonplace and easily accessible, and I can edit in peace. Which means blue/nicer-looking skies! Yay!

The night view of the Hong Kong City skyline, however, was indeed pretty blue on its own (and pretty darn beautiful), and made so much more stunning with the water reflecting the lights of the city.

I actually wonder if the lights were strategically placed to form such a beautiful stream of colors...

Anyway, at the end of our first day, the rest managed to find a supermarket where they could indulge and buy a bit of alcohol since the duty free shops weren't open when we landed in Hong Kong earlier that morning. This is just something I snapped while waiting for them to decide their choices of poison.
