Hong Kong & Macau Trip Day 2 14Mar Ocean park

Day 2 14Mar Ocean park Hot air balloon I had a sleepless night as I’m stressed that no shopping done yet, no dim sum yet and the next day we are leaving HK already.. So we decided to forgo Lin Heung restaurant at Central (wait can be up to 45mins)..just go for the connecting shopping mall’s Superstar dim sum at level 8. Very high class when we entered the restaurant..Thankfully, price were really reasonable.. Their breakfast set was really worth while and came with many item like congee+porridge+vege cost HK30 (SGD5) only.. So we ordered so many items and made sure kids were super full. Total bill turned out <$50 In sg, dear daddy and me can easily whipped out these amt by ourselves not including the grands and Jared..so I’m very happy with the deal.. After that we took train to Admiralty, along the way we saw shop selling cheaper ocean park ticket..so we got the tics..and went to queue for bus 629..a long queue..and the ride is close to 30mins. When we got down the bus, the sun was at its hottest and brightest..that damped the mood immediately.. First thing we noticed was the hot air balloon..and Kaylen couldn’t meet the requirement, so I brought her waiting under the shade. Jared had to queue for 1hr to get on the balloon.. Kaylen was short by 2cm for the ride..just before the rest (Jared, daddy, grands) turned to ride, she suddenly realized she was not going for the ride. While they queue, I brought her for carousel ride, walk around etc.. Just before their turned, I returned to shoot their pics..and for memory sake I decided to take a video for Jared’s 1st ever balloon ride. It was so funny, Kaylen cried throughout their balloon ride asking to get up.. The balloon ride is somehow very strict…no carrying of bb, everyone need to weigh and stand at the allocated area so that balloon is balance.

after the ride..he got hungry again..so we fed him biscuit & milk by the side..After that we continued with visiting panda home, and take the cable car to the other side of ocean park where we see the giant jellyfish, underwater world…and had lunch. Lunch was so ex there..each maincourse cost like HKD100+ (SGD15)…but no choice kids were hungry..we ordered like 4 main course to share..Sitting was nice, beside the giant window with ocean next to us. Then we continued with 1 more ride, which is the ferris wheel…and that’s it we had to give up doing anything under the hot sun…and go back..hah Tried Hui lau shan mango dessert at Mongkok before going back..Jared was throwing tantrum again..said he was too tired to eat anything..but was ok to tapau…so we brought it back to hotel for him..and for dinner I got them KFC from nearby mall. The grands went to shop around Mongkok..when they back, it was our turn…we had 2hr of shopping spree at the fa yuen street..
