Just took my breakfast at Cafe De Coral (大家乐) - 皮蛋瘦肉粥 (HKD 20) at Hong Kong Airport. Waiting for the departure...
Travelling alone is always not my choice, now the only thing in my mind is my family.

HK - Lan Kwai Fong (LKF) 蓝桂坊
藍桂坊 famous for its bar and dining, and the "kwai lou" - Foreign White Man.
My colleague Leo brought me and Rebecca to this famous place to experience LKF. We took the tram (电车) from Causeway Bay to Central (中环), it costs us HKD 2 per person. Walk up the longest escalator in the world. There are many "stops" between each connected escalator, we exited the escalator to 荷里活道, walk down the street to Lan Kwai Fong, here we sees bars and restaurants, which is packed with foreigner and some local. I guess the kwai lou will have good feel of it, but for us is just-to-see. I did not see any Hong Kong movie stars there.
From LKF, we walked to the ferry jetty, about 15 mins.
Took ferry to Kowloon, cost HKD 2.3 per person, it's very cheap compared to other transport in HK.
Reached Kowloon jetty in about 5 minutes time. The jetty is just next to the Cultural Centre. We took a double decker bus to You Ma Dei, Temple street (庙街).
We had dinner there at road site, some sort of seafood store. Quire disappointed for the food as the porridge is not we expected, it was Teo Chew style instead of Hong Kong style. Some more, the 濑尿虾 we ordered is too small, i think it was baby 濑尿虾, hard to eat.
We headed back to hotel after the dinner. Thanks to our tour guide, Leo....

HK - Temple Street 庙街
Due to curiosity, me and my colleague Rebecca decided to go Temple street (庙街) for a night market experience.
Took MTR to Jordan station, take Exit A. After out from the exit, turn right, walk straight across 2 roads, we saw Temple street on our right hand side.
Basically, it is another "Pasar Malam" of Malaysia. Night market that sells various "cheap" stuffs. For me, it is not cheap. A pirated DVD cost HKD 20, is it cheap?
We reached the end of the street and it is a bit disappointing as it is really short and we never see any fortune tellers (what the place is famous for). By luck, we saw the "extension" of the Temple street, where the fortune tellers are. We did not try and just passed by. We also see some old performers who sing at the road side, no interesting.
Finally, decided to leave. Excluding the fortune tellers, I think Malaysia has much more 庙街 (Pasar Malam) than Hong Kong.
