From Kowloon Tong to Mei Foo

We took a mini van ride. This time we got it down without the driver hawking at us. I actually yelled out I am paying for two kiddies HKD 8. Then everyone swiped their octopus card for their own fare. We got out at the Kowloon Tong metro entrance. Today, there were a bunch of solicitors hanging out at the metro entrance begging for passerby to purchase their stickers. One of the ladies gave Clemmie one and placed the sticker on her dress. Clemmie took it off and stuck it to my arm. Apparently, they were not allow to beg for charity even if they are a non profit church group.

We headed out to Mei Foo to visit grand uncle again. I wanted to take the kiddies to the playground under the freeway overpass where I used to play when I was their age, but the playground was long gone. And we ended up at a cake shop. Everywhere you go you will end up at a bakery shop! Too much carb and more carb for the day.

Saint Honore Cake Shop is one of Hong Kong largest cake chain.

Enjoying her black sesame cake ... salty and sweet!

I head out to find Clemmie a playground and ended up in Lai Chi Kok Park (荔枝角公園) with a playground! It is a very large park. A lot of people where out with their kiddies to play even in 30 degree C weather. I was dying after an hour with Clemmie running around.

Dose of swings!

Yo! Ho! Yo! Ho! a pirates' life for me!

Later in the day, my mom and I went shopping at the local stores to get some household goodies. My mom knows only two area in Hong Kong to shop Kowloon Tong and Mei Foo. She sometimes come all the way out to Mei Foo to get fresh chicken for making chicken soup.

At the end of the day ... I celebrated my birthday with a slice of black forest cake.
