Hong Kong Revisited II - Part I

After some long off from international travel, it's time to travel and unwind. This trip is not so much of visiting places but rather to relax and go easy as the motto was 'Relax and Unwind'. Yes, it's Hong Kong again if you may ask.


The night scene from the peak, after a long queue though.

Enrolled at the Cathay Pacific, the package comes with a 3 day 2 nights stay in Hong Kong, inclusive of flight tickets and airport transfer, quite a nice deal, check it out!


Hong Kong Airport.


The airport transfer services, Vigor coach buses to hotels.

We decided to revisit Lanson Place, we had a nice experience with them, since it is a relax and unwind trip, we just wanted less hassle and less research on hotels. We were surprise on two things, we were given free upgrade to deluxe room, but we were not given complimentary breakfast. This means more costs as the breakfast is now a costly HKD 60 per person.

Queen sized bed.


Part of the bathroom.


Quite a nice environment for relax tour, choose Lanson Place.

The first thing to do in Hong Kong is definitely food. Having sampled Salon de the Joel Robuchon in taiwan, we went to Le Salon de the Joel Robuchon in Hong Kong, the Landmark to savour the high tea. The restaurant is adwarded Michelin 2 stars.

The high tea costed $240 which is RM99 for 2 ( conversion rate RM 1 = HKD 2.42 ) , I think it 's quite worth it.


While waiting for food... we ordered the Pastries Set for 2


The home made strawberry jam with Devonshire clotted cream


The scones of different shapes, lemon and raisins scones


Milky and buttery taste just perfect scone


The small cup of Machiato Cafe and Cafe Latte. The Machiato is too strong and bitter to my liking


Blueberry cheese cake and Petit Fours


From left, Paris-brest, Mont-blanc, Macaroon ganache.


A slice of cake,, Exotique.


The array of sweet items.


The blueberry tinge of sourness with the mild cheese blends in nicely and very aesthetically pleasing with gold flakes.


The small but nice macaron.

Overall the pastries set is very nice, scones were served cold, if warmed would be better. I recommend this to those who likes to enjoy high tea. For Rm50 per person, it can't get any better, also you get to enjoy Michelin 2 stars restaurant food.
