The day of my girlfriend's WEDDING and the main motivation for this SOLO trip!!! But I still had half a day to kill before meeting one of her university friends to doll up in her hotel room. So first things first, I headed to Jenny's Bakery to purchase the cookies my friends (in SG) wanted. And this was one of the main reasons I was "attracted" to an AirBnB located in Mirador Mansion.  Interior Of Mirador Mansion I took the lift downstairs (it was around 10am) and of course I didn't have to queue for long for the purchase.

After a good sleep, I actually woke up at 7am in the morning, unbelievable! I laid around before leaving the place at 9! And thankful I did, because a ministry friend actually saw my posting on social media that I went to Australia Diary Company and asked if I was in Hong Kong too. After conversing, I learnt that it was her last day in Hong Kong and she was going for some Dim Sum and last minute shopping. When I left the room, I still had no idea to do (this is something I grew very familar with this trip). I had planned to check out Central today but when I saw the mad hour rush in the train, I decided to detour and board from the other side of the platform and headed in the opposite direction. Alighted at Prince Edward Station and went to Kam Wah Cafe. Walking through the same route we took on the last day of my last trip...
