Love thy Code {Robert Liu}: Day trip to Hong Kong

I was visiting Hong Kong for a day because of the mandatory every-four-month-need-to-go-out-for-an-overseas-Taiwanese-guy-not-wanting-to-be-enlisted-into-the-military thing. This time, rather than just staying for a few hours at the airport then fly back to Taiwan on the next available flight, I decided to be more of a tourist.

Thanks to a travel guide book I bought at the airport bookshop in Taoyuan international airport, I got a sense of the place to visit and have meals, and the transportation allowing so. Once arrived in Hong Kong, the weather was a welcoming and balmy 23 degree Celsius. And I got the 100 HKD airport express ticket to/from Hong Kong station and the airport. (This is a special one-day round trip ticket). Since it was noon when I arrived, I went to this beef noodle place famous for it's fine beef stock and meat. [九記牛腩]

As you can tell from the photo, there was quite a line!
Next stop after the lunch was St Johns Cathedral. Visiting this place in solitude was quite relaxing! And the brief walk about helps digestion and soul cleansing at the same time :)

The Hong Kong park was inviting as a little getaway from the hectic and crowded city atmosphere.

The tramcars here offer easy accessibility to major stops on Hong Kong island. It's an unique hop onto the 2nd floor of a train experience if you've never had before.

For afternoon tea, I had some famous con-gees with pork and 皮蛋.

Further still, I had some whole milk pudding that comes with a flaky thin films on the surface. The combined texture was amazing and satisfying to taste.
