today is our last day in hong kong and there are some sights we want to see some
food we want to eat and there's one special thing we want to do because we may not be able to do it again
so we just popped on the mini bus and we are heading towards tsim sha tsui where
we are going to have one of the most well-known dishes that you have to try when you're in
Hong Kong
the noodle place is just on this side
so the noodle shop we're going to is called Mak's Noodle or in Chinese it's called and it's
really famous for wonton noodle soup we've had it once many years ago and I remember
loving it so we're excited to come back to try it today this one right here yeah look
it says wonton noodles from 1920
wow that's like 100 years old
this place looks good and it smells good look at their menu it has
all of their most famous things wonton noodle soup braised beef and tendon noodles and congee
their congee is actually really famous as well I like this place because their menu has English
on it I think this place is so famous that a lot of tourists come here and that's why
they have English on it the afternoon special is actually a really good deal because a signature
wonton noodle is 45 dollars but now for 49 dollars you get a vegetable on the side and also a tea so
i think let's do that what are these these are just boiled vegetables with oyster sauce
so what I got is
this braised beef and braised tendon noodle tendon looks really soft
I love tendon
their noodle itself is very famous it's supposed to be bouncy and chewy
yeah the guy behind me just making it fresh yeah he's like portioning them because they
need to be quick when it gets busy let me try the wonton why is it famous again they
say the prawn is really bouncy and the skin of the wonton is very thin so that's why it's
like an exceptional wonton it is so tasty
wow this is really good let me try yours wow look at this piece of beef looks real tender
which one do you like more beef or wontons I feel like this one the clear broth is perfect
for breakfast and this is perfect for lunch I think this is a bit heavier a little more
oily on the top too because of the beef but they're both really good
wow we really destroyed this nothing left and it all comes to a $104 Hong Kong dollars
that's pretty good pretty good
so the area we are in is tsim sha tsui which is well known to be a shopping district here in Hong Kong
and as you can tell it is full of internationally recognized brands like H&M over here and also
some brand names like Prada over here Gucci and Gucci a lot of the shops that we can't afford
window shopping yeah window shopping here but it's pretty crazy because a lot of
people come to Hong Kong and they would line up in front of the brand names just to go
inside and buy them because I think they are like no tax or something here and it's more
affordable but we don't know anything about that we just go to H&M
so the place that Note is taking us to right now is the Avenue of Stars which is one of
our favorite places in Hong Kong it's just a really nice promenade where you can
walk you can chill you can sit but it also holds a special meaning for us because something
happened here 10 years ago and I think Note wants to share that story with you guys I
think it's here but it looks so different yeah because they do everything yeah they've
redone this uh since the last time we've been here so at this very spot 10 years ago in
2012. I went down on my knee and proposed to you do you remember that I do I remember I
made a lot of promises did I meet any of those promises uh most of them know but hey I promised
to love you forever yes that was still here that's the most important one 13 years later
we're still together
she said yes
I'm so embarrassed
she was clapping there was someone filming the majority of people are so confused but you know what
though the first time when you actually did propose I was so embarrassed too because I
didn't think you would do it here you know what I mean so public and it was packed the
day you did it there was a group surrounding us clapping and cheering there
was a girl crying I think we better move somewhere else let's go

let's try the upper deck this time so we're going to Central
we can just flip this cool
so we've always enjoyed taking the Star Ferry to cross between Tsim Sha Tsui and Central or
Central to Tsim Sha Tsui and today this is one of the things that we really wanted to do because we may
not get a chance again because we've heard that the Star Ferry company is under a lot
of debt and there's a chance that they are going to stop this service next year so they're
going bankrupt is it because people prefer to use other means of transportation or is
it because they're relying on tourists that's kind of a hard question to answer because
I don't know as well but what I feel is that coming to Hong Kong this time the MTR station
has really upgraded their facilities their access to different places in Hong Kong people
easily just take MTR to go everywhere now and the Star Fairy is quite cheap I think
it's $3.20 for an adult to cross between the Victoria Harbor so they're
not really making that much profit I mean there's always a chance that a private company
will buy the Star Ferry and that if they make it private maybe they will continue it but
they would increase the price that way perhaps they can stay afloat
bye but I hope you're gonna stay
so I'm taking you from transportation to transportation today we are now in the
taxi going to the tram station uh to go up to the peak it's a perfect time to go because
they have just released the new version of the Peak Tram I think it's like the fifth
or sixth model so we'll go see what that looks like I really like Hong Kong taxi because
it's so roomy look at the space we have and also you don't have to bargain when they say
it's the meter it's the meter yeah not like Thailand sometimes they don't even take you
right now it's typhoon three yeah I didn't even know it's gonna be super windy
up there oh babe look this one here this is the original I think [Music] so I think
now we can go up to see the fifth generation so there different passes you can get so
the first one is Peak Tram Sky Pass which includes the Peak Tram and the Sky Terrace for
$118 return or if you just want to go up the tram and walk around
then you can do the return ticket for $88 a person I think we should do that one yeah
wow it's so modern looking and it's so quiet I remember back then it was like riding a
train it definitely looks like the tram and the tram station here has gotten a complete
makeover did you notice there's no more staircase as well going up right I think it's probably
for like it's elderly friendly and it's more wheelchair accessible too
so clean oh wow you see this at the top they have this what do you call this glass
roof now yeah a glass roof and the windows are humongous the lady like in the speaker
just said that the tram has been going since 1888. that's over 130 years it's 134 years
and when they started at the very early early years they have a bunch of people on top pulling it up
really
i just made that up
we might be lucky to see the sunset too
babe you were right
they're pulling the peak tram up see I know what I'm talking about well that looks scary
bungee jumping from the sky terrace I didn't know you could do all these things up here
I always thought it was restaurants and there's a cafe like coffee shop there let's go up
to see the view though
so we're now at the main area of the peak there is a shopping mall here there are some
restaurants some cafes it is a little bit windy because I think the typhoon is hitting
what time does the Peak open till I think it opens till quite late like maybe even midnight
because people come up here to go to the restaurant check out the view so we don't have to rush
no we might even be able to see the sunset it might be hard because it gets cloudy all
the sudden let's walk around to find a spot where you can overlook the whole skyscrapers
okay okay
the typhoon is coming
that's so beautiful wow
I love it here
I think they're shooting a movie I think it's for the local TV station because
I recognize the actors and actress are they famous yeah in Hong Kong they're quite famous
are they as famous as us
it got real windy and real dark so I think the typhoon is coming we're probably going
to wrap the video up here and just enjoy the night view of Hong Kong we have some exciting
plans coming so stay tuned thanks again for watching and as always Have a Wonderflo Day
we will see you in the next one bye
