cny in hk

this year we decided to head to HK for cny since there was a longer holiday but more because we’re just bored? anyway, it was just a huge food fest! initially we thought that the shops would all be closed given how CNY is such a big thing in HK but actually, on the first day at least 50% of the shops were open and by the second day, most of the shops were back in business!

we took family pictures in the hotel room, gotta love my dad’s face.

had lunch one day at caprice, one of the 2 restaurants in HK which has 3 michelin stars.

food was delightful and desserts were so sinful :D but service wise, can’t be compared to the 3 starred restaurants in NY.

dinner on the 2nd day was at Nobu because it faces the harbour and in HK they have a 25 minute long fireworks display for CNY. to be honest we made the restaurant reservation in May last year (yes i know, in true singaporean fashion) don’t think we’d do it again primarily because we realised that we can view the fireworks from our hotel room but also so because getting to the hotel was a real bitch. road closures meant having to take the MTR and walking LIKE CRAZYYYYYYYY.

the crowd that gathered along the bay.

it was really quite spectacular, the fireworks felt so close!

t’was a good 5 nights away :) next up, Cambodia in march!
