Interesting facts about Hong Kong!

All the flats in Hong Kong are closely packed together. Reason is because land is expensive and limited in Hong Kong due to it's mountainous region. Did you notice that there are some levels in between the flats that are vacant?

Ans: The architect is really considerate. In the case of fire, people at the upper floors can gather at the floor which is vacant. In this way, it will be more efficient for the fire fighters to save more lives. ( *PS: the Hong Kong tour guide told us about this) ;)
When I was market surveying in Hong Kong, I found out that the Hong Kong people like the number 8 ALOT! They are very superstitious people. There was once I told a lady " Give me $80 lar... You will Fa Cai!" Woah.. The shop owner was so happy and she gave me the price I wanted. She said that HK people like anything to do with Luck! ;)

Another thing I observed when I am in Hong Kong is that there are many MANY metro sexual in HK! Guys are seen dressed really trendily and they really emphasize a lot on the fashion trends. Girls who dressed really trendily are less commonly seen as compared to guys.

Hong Kong is famous for it's HUMONGOUS wanton!! It's wanton mee it;s really purely just wanton and noodles. There's no char siew or anything else. Further, each wanton contains 5 shrimps!! It tasted heavenly....... We managed to taste the wanton mee on the last day of our free and easy day in Hong Kong! It cost around 5 Sing dollars, definitely value for money! :P I'm starting to miss it already...... :(

Last but not least, Hong Kong is also famous for it's desserts! We managed to try the mango sago, honey dew sago, black sesame paste and not forgetting, dao huey!! Each bowl of dessert only cost you 2 Sing dollars! Yummy yummy! The desserts tasted sweeter than those available in SG... The dao huey was sooo smoothhh....
