Day 4 - Lantau Island and Raw Food

It's another early morning... left the apartment at 9am to catch the bus... We are going to lantau island to see Mr Buddha on the hill... Check height first see whether can get free train ticket... alamak... too tall... have to pay... isk...

Took the train to Tung Chung and hopped onto the Ngong Ping 360 cable car... prices are not cheap everywhere in hong kong huh?

Cute little cable car... not much different between the normal and crystal one since only the floor is see through....

Up up and away!!! wait... look down there...yikes... there are ppl who walk? holy cow... it's super duper far leh.. plus uphill...and ppl do this as a morning exercise? me is shock-ed....

Look over there!!! A glimpse of the buddha....
Finally we are there... had to pay HKD60 for vegetarian or else they dont let you into the temple... jeez... and it's an uphill climb from here... Mr Sun was being particularly frenly that day so it was hot hot hot!!!

A bit more only... gambate!!!

Tadaa!!! Hi Mr Buddha... *Waves*

Next stop... temple for elaine to light some incense... unfortunately aichin had to help... *cough cough* so much smoke.... Made a little prayer for everyone in the family.. :)

After the sweltering heat... off we were to the Tung Chong outlet mall!! All shops are outlets!! Woohoo!! spent many hours there... haha!! but didnt really buy that much la... Elaine was the biggest spender here...

After all that shopping it is time for food!!! Went to Itacho which was highly recommended by the person who owns the apartment we tumpang.. even told us to mention his name to get a fast seat...unfortunately the line was so long that giving his name also not effective coz it was just too obvious to squeeze us in... so we waited patiently... tick tock tick tock... after almost an hour... finally.. a seat.... Dinner was ordered for us without us knowing what was coming... Our menu...

All ready to dig in...

First platter out... it was sushi with loads of raw stuff...

Next platter up... also sushi with even more raw stuff...

Finally the highlight of the nite!!! Just plain raw stuff... sashimi clam to be specific....

Verdict? Sushis were damn fresh.... but the clam was damn fishy... ewww... but after the meal... all our mouths tasted raw... hahaha!! sashimi overload... but the meal was good...

Time to head home and sleep again.. think it's my turn on the floor... :(
