My gawd!!!! Out of all the flights Ive been on so far, this has got to be the one where I ate the most... They say that HKG-SFO is a shopping flight and that you will surely spend a lot. They sure as hell got the latter part right though.. cos most of my moo-lahs was spent on food! And if I hadnt exercised more self-control on myself, FOR SURE I would have burst my allowance on shopping as well.. Cos right there, in front of our hotel in SFO, is a shopping paradise, i tell youu!
Abercrombie&Fitch, Old Navy, Gap, American Eagle, Urban Oufitters, JuicyCouture, H&M, Macy's, Bloomingdale, Nordstrom, Saks... U name it! Its right there... And they are all within walking distance some more... Scary, I tell you.... I've got colleagues spending over $500 in just 1 day. Luckily i managed not to succumb so much on the shopping.. But then hor, i didnt manage to do so well when it comes to food... Everything all I want to try.. Haizz... But it was all worth it. :)
Just look...
Fisherman's Wharf of San Francisco.. a place for seafood.
Thats the fresh crabs. Remind me of having chilli crab in SG. But a must-try here is the clam chowder and fried calamaris. If you can jostle thru the crowd, that is...
It sure is a chocolate heaven there as well... Theres quite a number of chocolate shop selling all sorts of chocolatey stuff... i laike!!
The sight of Alcatraz - from a distance. Me and Syam wanted to go there actualli, but the tickets are fully booked! Hmph! Upset...
Seals actually came here to relax lah!! Voluntarily some more. Thats them way back in the pic.. Though they are kinda cute to look at, you must really tahan the smell. Its similar like ikan masin kat pasar.. Bleargh!
Satisfied with the food and sights at Fisherman's Wharf, we went back to Union Square and in the midst of shopping, theres always time for a pic..
This was on Easter Sunday whereby Macy's and most shops were closed. Luckily we already did the major shopping the day before.
Saks was closed too... And it was such a lovely day to be out shopping.. What a waste.
But we fret not cos The Cheesecake Factory was open for business. Highly recommended!! All sorts of cheesecake can be found here. A must-go if you're a cheesecake lover. Im not though...
But at the sight of this.. I gave in helplessly to temptation. Chocolate lover, I am... What more Godiva chocolate..
First round: Fried calamari and strawberry lemonade.. Cant go wrong.
Next, Caesar Salad with chicken. I swear this is the biggest portion of salad i have ever seen. Needless to say, I cant finish it for nuts!
On to the main course: Shrimp *something something* with Angel Hair Pasta. One word, delicious. Though the portion was also big, I managed to finish it cos it was so so nice...
And of course.. what better way to end a meal than a huge slice of the Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake, complete with Godiva chocolate and whipped cream... It was truly heavenly. Puas hati...
The view from the restaurant itself. Plus the clear blue sky, it was too nice not to take a pic here..
Back in Hong Kong, after being persuaded by the rest, they say that I HAVE to try the dim sum. Its a must do in Hong Kong. So that I did..
Ambik kau!! And these are only half of what we ordered...
With Yang Jing, Syam and Ita.. At Chao Inn Restaurant for our Dim Sum bonanza.
Even after all that dim sum, I still managed to finish one whole plate of char kuey. Which I enjoyed by dipping it in cold soya milk.. Also a must-try, according to Anthony.
Thats him right there.. The one responsible for all my MUST-try, MUST-eat, MUST-do and MUST-buy. But that didnt matter cos he was good company...
And also, the beautiful and sexy Syam. I keep telling her that she sure as hell look like Ziana Zain seh.
Us at the train station..Trying to be 2 mang-kuks in mong kok.. Success rate: 100 %.
Hong Kong's Avenue of Stars..
Where you can have a great view of Hong Kong Island from the harbour
Have a little run-in with the legendary Bruce Lee..
And have ANDY LAU right under your foot...!
Here's another must-try. Mango pudding and mango ice cream in mango juice with extra mango.
It was so good that I just had to have TWO. Now thats what I call Mango madness..
With so much food to try, its no wonder that I put on weight after the flight....
