HK in 3 days 2 nights

I was back in HK for a 3-day business trip which turned out to be more of a shopping and feasting trip for me. Having been away for more than 6 months due to pregnancy and maternity leave, most of my "supplies" have run out and I need to replenish them. With the extremely low HKD and summer sale, it was extremely difficult to resist shopping and feasting!



On the first day, we had sushi at Sen Ryo, one of the finest conveyor-belt sushi in HK. 4 of us stuffed ourselves crazy on uni, botan ebi, negi-toro, amaebi & kani miso, salmon, scallops, etc. and the total bill came out to be just HK$900+ which was like less than S$150! Then I went shopping for my skincare supplies at Laneige, bought a new fragrance from Benefit and then went to meet Wing and his wife for desserts.

On day 2, my IT team and I had a lunch meeting with one of my supplier and he booked a Michelin ranked restaurant at Harbour City! It was a semi-buffet featuring "east meet west" cuisine and it was sumptuous! More shopping after work where I bought 2 pairs of shoes, coffee capsules for my coffee machine, supplements and tonic soup packs for mum. Then at night, I had another dinner date with several ex-colleagues who filled me in on some gossips.

Met up with "old man" on day 3 for lunch and showed him photos of baby J. He was all smiles when he looked at baby J's photos on the iPad and I wanted to give him a hug. He's more like a father to me than my real father who doesn't seem to be keen on meeting up with me at all...I have been worrying for the past couple of years that I may not be informed when something happens to "old man". He is afterall 70+ now...I guess he was thinking the same as he said that he regretted for not introducing his 2 children to us when we were still living in HK. I told him to arrange a meeting another time and I hope that by the end of this year, we will get to be properly introduced...
