AI GeneratedA travel vlog documenting a return trip to Hong Kong, focusing on the city's unique atmosphere, local culinary delights, and a visit to Hong Kong Disneyland. The travelers prioritize slow exploration, enjoying traditional cafes, street markets, and the iconic skyline over a rushed tourist itinerary.
After visiting for the first time we promised ourselves we would come back
and now we've made good on our promise. This time we'll wander through busy streets,
sit down at traditional diners, chase desserts across the city
and of course eat our way through Hong Kong.
So join us for a few days back in one of our favorite cities.
Let's begin. Since this wasn't our first time in Hong Kong
we wanted to start this trip differently. Instead of rushing from one attraction to another
we wanted to focus on the small things that made us love this city in the first place.
And for us that means starting the morning at a Cha Chan Teng.
After breakfast we hopped on the MTR towards Mong Kok, one of the busiest areas in Kowloon.
We made our way to Soi Street where we stopped for a break.
After coffee we continued wandering through Mong Kok and ended up at the ladies market.
Mostly to browse and see what we could find.
We weren't planning on buying much but somehow we still walked away with a few small things.
The weather was grey, humid and occasionally rainy.
But that only added to the Hong Kong atmosphere.
And April is the official start of the wet and rainy season so let's hope we don't get soaked.
We made our way south towards Tsim Sha Tsui with one important mission.
Getting our hands on the famous egg tarts from Bakehouse.
I ordered the green tea with lemon and aiyu jelly and Pablo ordered the smoke plum juice with lemon.
First tea.
Let's go.
If it rains we go back to the hotel to rest for a bit and look for a place to have dinner.
We want to have something different for dinner.
We made our way to the hotel but we ran into this and we couldn't say no.
Green tea with a bit of caffeine.
And you, what did you get?
I ordered osmanthus tea with milk so it's a bit lighter.
Let's go to the hotel to rest a bit before going to dinner.
This is our room.
It's very spacious.
We have this lobby area over here.
Here's the room.
There's a desk.
Down here there's a refrigerator.
A bed, pretty big.
More space to store clothes.
A smart TV.
And a desk.
The bathroom is also pretty big.
For our second day back in Hong Kong, we decided to do something completely different.
A full day at Hong Kong Disneyland.
I think we're going to go to one of the most popular attractions that just opened
to avoid the long line.
We're not usually the type of people who plan an entire day around theme parks
but since we had never visited this one before, we were curious to see what it had to offer.
There was no line so maybe we'll try again.
We were thinking that between this one and the other one in front of us
is one of the most popular ones right now in Disneyland.
It's a small world.
We saved the spot along Main Street to watch the parade
where we got to see all the different Disney characters.
And as the afternoon slowly turned into evening, we watched the show,
grabbed a quick snack and then ran to catch the final firework show.
By the time that final firework exploded, we were completely exhausted.
But it had been a really fun change of pace and it really was a great day.
We headed back towards Tsim Sha Tsui and ended the night with dinner at one dim sum.
We started the morning at another Cha Chan Teng,
this time at the hidden and famous Lam Phong Yuen.
One thing we love about these places is how different the experience feels.
Seating is limited, tables are often shared
and you naturally either become part of the rhythm of the place
or you'll miss out on the whole experience.
And true to Hong Kong fashion,
we ended up sharing our table with three strangers while enjoying our breakfast.
It's so good!
After breakfast, we took the MTR towards Yau Ma Tei to visit a bakery.
But as often happens in Hong Kong, the weather had its own plans.
The rain started pouring down,
so we looked for a cafe where we could take shelter and wait for it to pass.
We started making our way back towards the hotel,
stopping along the way for something we couldn't resist.
Mi Choy.
I ordered a super strawberry sundae.
It has a lot of strawberries.
It's coconut, mango and taro.
It's really good.
And really cheap.
We spent some time exploring the mall,
grabbed a hei tea,
and ended up watching a movie before heading out again in the evening.
Well, we finished the day here, we already had dinner.
We're going to go to Victoria Bay again
to see the night skyline because we haven't done it yet.
To finish the day,
we did something that had become a small tradition during this trip.
We bought a pineapple bun and walked back to Victoria Harbor
where we sat down,
looked at the Hong Kong skyline at night,
and enjoyed another great moment with the city.
And with that, we ended our first few days back in Hong Kong.
