Hong Kong Day 2 ~ Dim Sum, Golden Bauhinia Square, Victoria Peak & Jewellery Shopping

The view from our hotel room.. at sunrise...

Morning!!! Cho San!!!

We started our day as early as sunrise at 4.30 am, to offer our Fajr prayers, Fajr finished at approximately 5.30 am in Hong Kong, despite there were no time difference in between Malaysia & Hong Kong.

After witnessing one of the most spectacular sunrise from our bed, we left the hotel at 7.30am to go to the Islamic Centre to enjoy Dim Sum as our breakfast. Typically Dim Sum has pork as it main ingredient but the ones that we had was purely halal, as it was prepared by Muslims in the Osman Ramju Islamic Centre. Dim Sum means stuffings thus anything with stuffings can be categorised as Dim Sum, including our own popiah (and karipap, I guess!)

After the breakfast, we went to the Golden Bauhinia Square which were the place to commemorate the rejoining of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China after more than 150 years.

Next stop was the Victoria's Peak where we were offered a breathtaking view of the Happy Valley & the whole of Hong Kong island.

After a quick lunch & Zuhr/Asr prayers in the Islamic Centre, we left for the TSL, a famous jewellery shop in Hong Kong. We were given an opportunity to see how the jewelleries were hand-made & we were offered a great discount in the showroom later. I got myself a set of pearls on 18K white gold, for only HKD1500. Good bargain eh?

The next stop was a Duty Free Shop which offered numerous watches, cosmetics & again, jewelleries, then straight back to the hotel at around 4pm. We were given some time to do more shopping at the Tsuen Wan Shopping complexes near our hotel before we refresh ourselves for our Gala Dinner that night

The Gala Dinner was something that I never had a picture in my mind. More than 1000 enterpreuner were gathered in a Grand Ballroom for a Buffet Dinner, that offered entertainments, more than 100 types of delicacies, gold rabbits for souvenirs & even a birthday celebration for those celebrating in June.

One of our business partners was elected to give a small speech, in honour of her achievement in this business. Congrats to Diamond Sales Manager Analis Salleh from Melaka :)

We rounded up the night with a small O-group meeting and took the rest of the night off, as we needed to gather our energy for a big day tomorrow... THE DISNEYLAND ADVENTURE!
