Season's Greetings is getting close!! The street is also packed with people preparing for one of the greatest times of the year. Stores, shops are extending their business hours. A lot of us would like to get some nice gifts for our loved ones.
We usually shop around on different stores before spending any pennies. So we always get around back and forth between different areas. And I would like to recommend a nice transportation to get around particular on the Hong Kong Island side - TRAM.
The tram runs slowly along the island between the east and west end. Riding on the Tram does give me an unique feeling. Unlike the MTR, you can't appreciate the scenary because it is travelling underground. The weather is getting a bit chilled now, so it beats out the bus tour. I do enjoy the chill weather with light breeze. The best time to ride is some time between 7 pm and 10 pm. There will be a lot to see along the trip from Central to Causeway Bay.
The Tramway also offers two special antique trams for special tour. You can find out more from their website http://www.hktramways.com
For your information, the tram was in service since 1900s, for more than a century, WOW!!
Enjoy your ride

Black & White Symphony
This Saturday afternoon my family and I had an afternoon tea buffet at Royal Plaza Hotel in Mongkok. The discounted charge is around HK$ 130 per head. I found the range of food has been improved comparing last time I came there. The current theme is “Black & White Symphony", providing new cakes made with black and white chocolate, so attractive to dessert lovers like me! I strongly recommend the Mandarin Opera Log, a soft cake with orange fresh, dessert lovers should not miss it. Enquiries and Reservations Hotline: 2622 6154

The Wife Cake (老婆餅)
Today I can’t wait to have wife cake (老婆餅) for breakfast. I bought 6 pieces from Wing Wah bakery (榮華) and took it back to office and shared with my collegues for breakfast. But I kept 3 pieces for myself ! (hahaaa…..) Oh…. the puff of the cake was utterly crusty, and the cake is just-right sweetness…yum..yum !!

The Tortoise Jelly (龜零膏)
Maybe eating too much spicy food, there are some pimples on my face and I can feel myself a little bit hot inside the body. Therefore, I decided to order a bowel of Tortoise Jelly (The glossy blackish pudding made of turtle’s plastron and Chinese herbs) this afternoon. Put few spoons of syrup on top of the jelly and eat together… Feeling so good…..This is to flush away toxins and remove the damp-heat in my body.
