[Macau - Hong Kong] Day 10 : Bye Hong Kong

August 8th, 2014

This is the last a day for our holiday. At 7 pm we checked out from Regal Airport Hotel, and walked to the HKIA. There's an indoor bridge to connect the airport from the hotel. You also can take the trolley to put your luggage from the hotel.

Hong Kong International Airport 

First, we checked in our luggage and get the boarding pass. After that we had a breakfast at Crystal Jade restaurant. I thought they have the same menu with Crystal Jade at Harbour City. But they haven't. They only have porridge, and a few kinds of dim sum and wonton noodle. They will serve the complete menu after 10 am.

We didn't have much time at HKIA. After breakfast we had to go to inside the airplane.. Bye Hong Kong :(

We used Tiger Airways for our flight back. So we needed to transit again at Changi Airport. Arrived at Changi Airport, we had lunch at the food court. I saw a long queue in front of the Bak Kut Teh and Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle. I felt curious with Tai Hwa's pork meatballs (I'm a big fan of meatballs ^^). So i ordered it for my lunch. I didn't try the noodle. Because i saw it contains offal.

Tai Hwa Meatballs Soup

I like the meatballs so much. They are firm yet springy when you chew it. And the broth also taste good. 

Finished with our lunch, we just walked around and waiting for our flight. I didn't feel bore to wait at Changi Airport. They have a lot of stores selling good stuff such as chocolate, make up, perfume, etc. Even they have Victoria's Secret store.

So that's the end of our trip to Macau and Hong Kong. I like the situation at Macau and Hong Kong, especially when i went to local places. Just 1 thing that I didn't like from this trip : hot weather!! It ruined the plan that i have made before. Maybe next time i'll go to Hong Kong again, but not at summer.

[Macau - Hong Kong] Day 1 : From Airport to Terminal Ferry

July 30th, 2014

In the morning, i went to Soekarno Hatta International Airport. I used Tiger Air for this journey. While i was waiting, i bought some foods for my breakfast at Starbucks.

Hazelnut Chocolate and Smoked Beef Quiche 

Actually i was looking for Cheese Quiche. But that was sold out. After that i flew to Changi Airport for transit (because i used Tiger Airways, the airline based in Singapore). 

When we arrived, we went to transfer desk E2 to get the new boarding pass to Hong Kong. I didn't feel hungry at that time so i just bought Subway sandwich.

It didn't take a long time at Changi. It just about 2-3 hours waiting, then we had to fly to Hong Kong.

At 8 pm, we arrived at Hong Kong International Airport  (HKIA). But we didn't out from the airport, because we need to go to Macau by ferry directly from HKIA. If you want to go to Macau from HKIA, you don't need to go out from the immigration and claim your baggage. Just show your baggage tag when you buy ticket for ferry, and they will move your luggage to the ferry. 

 Actually at the first time we didn't want to go to Macau. We just had a plan to go to Hong Kong. So i bought the flight ticket from Jakarta to Hong Kong. But suddenly i thought we need to go to Macau because it's not far from Hong Kong. And we could just use a ferry  to go to Macau. So this is what happened. We spent a whole day just for the trip from one airport to another airport. This is very annoying indeed.

I felt tired and sleepy. And i saw restaurant named "Super Super Congee and Noodles". I ordered wonton noodles and it tasted good. Can't wait to try the famous Tsim Chai Kee at Hong Kong ~~

Finally, this is the time to go to Macau. We rode a small train to catch the boarding gate. Just follow the sign. All in English, so don't worry if you can't read Cantonese.

Yey... Macau..

It just took 45 minutes until we arrived at Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal. After we finished to claim our baggage, we found the shuttle bus to Sheraton Hotel. It located across the street. So we had to pass the underground to go there. There will be so many buses there. You just need to find the name of your hotel at the bus.

It's not crowded at Sheraton Hotel. Maybe because it's already late night. Well, that's the end of our first day, and don't forget to see the next post, to read more about our adventure in Macau.
