-It's bad-
Even before boarding the plane, i was badly affected by diarrhea and vomiting - symptoms of stomach flu, which makes me feel so terrible. I missed the Duty free shopping at Changi Airport as a result. But luckily, i am someone who can sleep well on the plane and after popping some medication, i slept soundly until i reach Hong Kong.
We arrived at Hong Kong Terminal 1 at 5am in the morning and waking up just invite the sick feeling back all over again. It didn't help that there was a very long queue at the passport clearance point. Maybe it is too early and so many of the immigration counters were closed.

As it was too early and most outlets were closed, Breakfast was settled at 美心 Food and it sure was oily. *Just look at the picture* It simply worsen my stomach flu. Their milk tea tasted a bit funny and different from our local version.

We took their Airport Express and as claimed, it reaches the city in less than 30 mins! Unlike Singapore, the walking distance inside their interchange stations are very far apart. It is like never ending walk.
Our destination was Butterfly on Morrison at Causeway Bay, a boutique hotel recommended by our friends. If you don't like walking, please simply forget about this hotel. The 10 minutes walk from Causeway Bay station to Morrison Hotel requires you to pull your luggage along the NARROW street. With people queuing for buses on the very same pavement, there is hardly any more excess space for u to pull through with the luggage. It is definitely a struggle to manage this 10 minutes distance.
After the morning meeting with our client, we headed off to look for the legendary 避風塘螃蟹。

This meal came out to be a super expensive one! Approximately S$200 for just 3 dishes. We concluded it is because of the 2 plates of seafood that we ordered. At this price, i can stuff myself silly at Melben seafood! Their signature 避風塘螃蟹 is done too salty. I would think they have coated it with salt and long after the meal, i was still feeling thirsty.
As we started the day too early, we went back for a nap at our hotel before heading out for dinner.
Dinner was at Lei Bistro 利小館
銅鑼灣勿地臣街1號時代廣場地庫2層B217-B218號舖
We ordered a soup, vegetable, xiao long bao and noodle to share.
Maybe as i am still suffering from stomach flu but the food tasted plain to me.
Huge contrast from lunch time.

Before ending day 1 of hong kong trip, we visited the renowned dessert shop that my friends were strongly recommending before the trip. To us, it tasted normal and not exactly very fabulous! Still, pictures...
Hong Kong is the land of shopping and eating. How can we end off this day without some shopping victories?

I love their Fairy Garden Collection! The colors are all so sweet and magical! It's a pity that JS is not retailing in Singapore. Hubby bought a Seiko watch as his birthday present!
