Harbour Plaza Resort City & Kingswood Ginza – Tin Shui Wai
Filed Under (China, Cuisines, Hong Kong, Shopping, Travelling) by Janet on 04-06-2008
Dear at the door to our Hotel Room No 2127 at Harbour Plaza Resort City :
And upon entering our Room, we were met by our 2 precious Babies Smartie & Sparkie, seated together so adorably on the neatly made-up bed!!
Heheh the Hotel chambermaid had actually placed Smartie in a hugging Sparkie from behind position on our bed – how nice of her!
And to see Smartie & Sparkie in as such a cute seating position (though differently) as we found them when we woke up that morning really made our hearts smile!!
Dear & I soon came out of our Room to go shopping at the Kingswood Ginza which is connected to the Hotel – & well, it was around 9.45pm then & only the following Park n Shop Superstore was open :
Wow Wow there was my favourite Strawberries – Dear holding the Packet of Long Stem Strawberries which we later bought :
And we shopped for a while cos we wanted to go for Supper heheh – the following are some snapshots I took inside the Park n Shop Superstore :
Cutie Cutie Miniature Cuisines :
Notice the miniature Suckling Pig – haha that was both Dear & my favourite Cuisine :
Dear paying for our Strawberries & Coke at the Cashier Counter :
Our receipt from Park n Shop Superstore :
Dear & I decided to have our supper in the following “Ah Yi Sao Er Fan Dian” (meaning “No 1 Roasted Goose Restaurant”) in Kingswood Ginza :
Here’s the Menu from “Ah Yi Sao Er Fan Dian” :
Dear pointing at the Menu :
And here comes our chilled Pearly Tea (Zhen Zhu Nai Cha) :
Can you see the black pearly Sagos resting at the bottom of the Glass – heheh Dear & I simply adore them!!
And soon afterwards came our most yummy Hong Kong Cuisines – BBQ Spare Ribs & Roasted Goose - Hmm……Dear & I couldn’t wait to tuck in tuck in!!
These Cuisines were all our favourites & looking at them now makes me drool……haha!!! We’d wanted to order more like Suckling Pig & Char Siew or Roasted Pork but there wasn’t any left as the Restaurant was about closing!!
Close-up view of the Roasted Goose (or ”Sao Er” in Chinese) which was the Signature Dish of “Ah Yi Sao Er Fan Dian” :
Haha I could still remember my sister used to bring home the whole Roasted Goose all the way from Hong Kong back home to Singapore for us & they were so Yummy Yummy!! And so were these!!!
And here’s the close-up view of our BBQ Spare Ribs – these tasted kinda sweet (like honey-glazed) & they were really delicious!! Still remember fondly my Dad used to bring home such yummy tasty tender BBQ Spare Ribs from Katong in Singapore!! Those were my happiest happiest days!!
And here’s our big bowl of local Soup Noodles garnished with diced Spring Onions – & we were surprised that the Noodles look like Instant Noodles!!
And amazingly they were delicious & the broth tasted so good!!
Dear attacking the BBQ Spare Ribs!!
And to our pleasant surprise, there were Roasted Peanuts underneath the Roasted Goose – so crunchy & most delicious!!
The skins of the Roasted Goose was crispy & the meat very tasty & well-prepared – actually Roasted Goose is similar to Roasted Duck except that Gooses are normally bigger in size & their meat slighter tougher :
Both Dear & I had such a yummy yummy supper we were telling each other how lucky we caught the Restaurant just in time before it closed – if not we wouldn’t be able to sample such gourmet Cuisines of Hong Kong on that special Wedding Anniversary night of ours!!
Well, above is the already closed Sky Comics Shop at Kingswood Ginza near the “Ah Yi Sao Er Dian” – I took the snapshot cos I found the many big & small toys inside pretty amusing heheh!!
And well, below’s Moon Ting Fong Chinese Restaurant at Harbour Plaza Resort City which is connected to Kingswood Ginza - here we saw display of Chinese Rice Dumplings (or “Zongxhi” in Chinese) - ”HEY Dear they even have Abalone Rice Dumplings!!! I wana buy!! I wana buy!!” I shouted most excitedly to Dear!!
Haha I was so happy to see the above signboard as it was near the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival (or “Duan Wu Jie” in Chinese) & I’d actually been looking out for special Chinese Rice Dumplings since arriving in Hong Kong cos I’d wanted to buy some back home for Mom & Dad!!
Unfortunately unfortunately it was all a false alarm of happiness on my part cos these were just samples & there wasn’t any Rice Dumplings (Abalone or meat etc types) yet for sales!!! Cos the Chinese waitress said that the Dumplings would only come in a week later, but Dear & I would already be leaving Hong Kong in 2 days’ time!!! Errrrr…..errrrrr I was so mad so mad & so sad so sad!!!!
We soon walked through Moon Ting Fong Chinese Restaurant back to Harbour Plaza Resort City lobby :
Now looking at the very impressive & grand lovely Hotel lobby with very high ceilings decorated with long Chinese Bamboo Bird Cages :
And here’s the huge grand staircase from the Hotel lobby leading to Moon Ting Fong Chinese Restaurant :
Moon Ting Fong Chinese Restaurant as shown below - above the Hotel lobby :
And while exploring the Hotel lobby, Dear & I met our 2 mother-daughter tour mates & we started chatting about their Lantau Island & our Hong Kong Disneyland visits that afternoon – Auntie laughingly telling us that they had only had time to travel to Lantau Island (Ngong Ping 360) & back again from the Island via Cable Car without even stepping into the Ngong Ping Village cos there was simply no time as the queues to the skyrail were far too long!!
And then Auntie & daughter started sharing with us their greatest deal of unlimited dinner buffet at Kingswood Ginza which was so cheap & so good etc at less than ten Singapore dollars each!!
And well, we all continued chatting for a while at the Hotel lobby before Dear & I said Good Nite to our 2 friends & departed to our Room – what a nice nice way to end our Wedding Anniversary night after a whole long day of fun explorations, romance & laughters, sweet shopping sprees & marvelicious Cuisines in Hong Kong heheh!!!






























































Thank you for publishing the photos of the hotel and shopping mall on your blog. I am thinking of booking the hotel for my brother. I have one question – Is the hotel adjacent to the MTR station – Tin Shui Wan? If yes, how long does it take to walk to the MTR station? I’m a bit confused by the info on the hotel’s website. What is the MTR Light Rail Ginza Stop? Thanks
Dear Sherry,
It’s my pleasure
Actually I’m not very sure about the Tin Shui Wai MTR Station, as I only travelled by Hotel Transportation to/from town, as well as via booked tours to Disneyland etc.
However I think it’s pretty near, within short distance walk to the Hotel, via E2 exit.
Alternatively, you can get off at Ginza Stop (which is the MTR Light Rail Ginza Stop) which is only 2 mins walk to Kingswood Ginza, next to, & linked to, the Hotel.
Here’s the URL of the MTR Route Map – http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/lr_bus/routemap_index.html
Hope my above answers help huh?!!
I wish your brother a very happy stay in the Hotel – am sure he’ll enjoy lots
See YA!!
Great review, thanks a lot regarding the posting. are you gonna be putting up further reports just like it?
Thank you very much Abelson for your compliment – yes I’ll definitely be featuring more of such Shopping & Cuisines posts in my blog as these are my 2 greatest passions besides Travelling
