Mong Kok

We had planned a hike at Lamma Island today but we all woke up a little sore from the unaccustomed walking that we'd done in the last 3 days.
So when in doubt of what to do, the group consensus was to go for dim sum again and rethink the day's plan. Yuen Long, Wanchai, Chi Lin Temple were suggested but I was amazed that I mentioned Mong Kok and Ruby came up with a plan ever so quickly.
Mong Kok was interesting because there was the Flower, Goldfish, Birds and Ladies Markets.
Warrick came with us to the Flower Market but was leaving us to do indoor golf, so he wanted some lunch before he went. We were in a huge shopping centre MOKO, and the first food outlet we picked needed a queue number, we got a number but was told that it would be a 30min wait. So we scouted around for more restaurant/cafes however everyone had to half an hour to 45min wait. We gave up searching for a cafe and settled for finding a bakery when the young lady from the first restaurant shouted out to us across the centre that they had a table for us. It turned out to be really nice food of bbq skewers and hot spicy noodles.
Warrick went off his merry way leaving us without navigator.
Ruby took over the role and we then went to the rest of the other markets.
Poor fish at the fish market were in cramp living conditions. Poor turtles didn't even have room to turn around. Saw some pretty rare species like blue jellyfish, axolotl and albino turtles.
Didn't spend much time at birds because Kai took fright.
We walked the length and breadth of Nathan road, zigzagging through one market after another. Of course stopping for congee, and Guilingou and tea eggs. Tea eggs were so yummy, Kai had 2.
We meet Warrick back at the hotel and had a quick visit to Salvation Army Store next door to our hotel before an early dinner at Sister Wah Beef Brisket again.
Early to bed for an early start tomorrow.Read more
