I went with my friend and her family to Prince Edward (太子) to meet up for a tour around a few parts of Hong Kong. There was a tour guide and bus: the experience was really amazing!

The first stop was a farm; we had a choice in making either bread, soy milk, or pizza. My friend and I chose to make pizza. It was surprisingly not that difficult and tasted pretty good (though I’m sure if I wanted some really good pizza it’d take quite a while). Sadly, all we had a chance to do was play with the dough and add a few toppings and ketchup. Still, it was definitely a good experience.

Afterwards we went to a buffet at the Hong Kong Science Museum (香港科學館). We were rushed for time (we only had about half an hour to eat), but we were also allowed to walk around and see the various things there, including some really nice views. It was actually quite funny; the place we went to wound up being so close to where I live – I didn’t have to travel so far to Prince Edward! It was ok though because then we’d miss out on making food.

Our next stop was in Yuen Long (元朗) to (somewhat) witness how people made the infamous Wife Cake (老婆餅) at the Hong Kong Hang Heung (香港恆香). We even had a complimentary one! Considering I’ve been in Hong Kong for over two months now, it’s been a bit of a surprise that I didn’t eat one yet. If you come to Hong Kong, this is one thing I would recommend!

After Yuen Long, we headed out to Sau To (壽桃牌), also in Yuen Long, to see someone advertise a lot of noodles for a really low price; some of these noodles could not be found anywhere else! I was really amazed at how fast the woman spoke and how she memorized all the prices. Back in the bus, the tour guide passed out complimentary noodle packs.

Our final stop was in Tuen Mun (屯門) to see its park (屯門公園). The main purpose was to observe the reptiles, namely the huge tortoises there. There were some other interesting reptiles, including a long-necked turtle and some huge snakes. Afterwards, we had some time to walk around. Apparently this area is well-known for its elderly people holding music and dancing performances, such to the point it would annoy other residents.

After such a long day, we headed back home, but not before first stopping at a restaurant to have quite a bit of food. I don’t think I’ve had that much food in a while!

All in all, today was definitely a long and fun-filled day.
