Ocean Park Hong Kong

If people say you cannot have too much vacation, don’t believe them because you can. On day 6 of our 7-day stay in Hong Kong, we went to Ocean Park. It was a fun-filled theme park and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hong Kong. If you are torn between Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park, and most of you are grown-ups then choose Ocean Park. However, we did not get to enjoy the rides so much because we were already quite burned out from the past 5 days roaming around Hong Kong mostly by foot.

Ocean Park is divided into two major areas – The Waterfront and The Summit. The Waterfront contains most of the animal shelters and kiddie rides while the Summit has the adult thrill rides and the Ocean Theatre. To go from the Waterfront to the Summit, you need to take the cable car or the train. I think you can also walk through the trails but it might be a very long walk. You need to do the same thing to go back from the Summit to the Waterfront.

Lord Stow's Bakery

Lord Stow's Bakery

Lord Stow’s Bakery is dubbed as the maker of the best egg tart in Macao or probably in the world. It has 5 branches in Macao, one is by the Grand Canal Shoppes in the Venetian, and operates in 5 other locations in Asia. Even in the Philippines, there is a Lord Stow’s Bakery at the Ground Floor of Market! Market! in Taguig City. Had we known before, we didn’t need to fly to Macao to have a taste of “the best egg tart in the world”.

When we visited the Venetian Macao, trying out Lord Stow’s egg tarts was on our list. Fortunately, after twirling round and round the Grand Canal Shoppes, and referring to the touch-screen map in many locations inside the shopping arena, we found Lord Stow’s. The dining experience here was quite memorable because we were seated near the Grand Canal and we can see many gondolas passing by. We can also hear gondoliers singing and we assume that they were songs of love. We think the songs were in Italian.
