Egg tart was one of the food we haven't tried out after we spent so many days in Hong Kong. During this day, finally we can taste the famous egg tart and 菠萝油 'Bo Loh' bun for breakfast in Hong Kong at Wong Kok area.
Maybe most of the famous food in Hong Kong are a bit over commercialized, therefore I feel that the price of the famous food are mostly more expensive. However, since we already came here from so far away, we should try out the food too. So far, those food that highly recommended by the travel book and internet didn't disappointed us.

After having delicious breakfast, we headed to 昂坪360 Ngong Ping 360. We spent more than half an hour to queue up and purchase the cable car and entrance tickets. We experienced the 水晶厢缆车 crystal cabin cable car ride, it was really awesome that you can see the spectacular view of the hill and sea from the transparent glass of the bottom of the cable car.
Besides the cable car ride, another must see attraction of course is the world's largest outdoor bronze Buddha - 天坛大佛 Tian Tan Buddha statue. In order to have a nearer view of the Buddha, you must climb up 268 staircases. And we did it too!!
After we done photo taking with 天坛大佛 Tian Tan Buddha, suddenly the sky started to rain... So we quickly came down from 天坛大佛 Tian Tan Buddha and we sheltered ourselves in the 宝莲禅寺 Po Lin temple nearby. After the rain was getting lesser, we went to the 昂坪市集 Ngong Ping Village area to tried out the 山水豆腐花 Tau Fu Fa (soya bean curd). I never tasted such a smooth soya bean curd before!! I LOVE it so much... No other soya bean curd can compare to this... MUST try!!
The rain was still heavy after we finished eating, so we went to the souvenir shop and wait for the rain to be stopped. Once the rain getting lesser, we quickly went to the cable car and wanted to leave 昂坪360 Ngong Ping 360. Due to bad weather, unfortunately the cable car service was halted. I was so worried during that time, because the staffs there were arranging bus service to bring the visitors downhill. I don't want to take the bus downhill since I bought the 水晶厢缆车 crystal cabin cable car tickets. I prayed in my heart to Buddha: "Please let us to go downhill with the cable car...". After the queue has reached our turn, luckily the cable car service was resumed. Some of the visitors were clapping hands and cheering during that moment!! Thanks to Buddha to fulfil my wish :) However, due to the rain, we had missed one of the attraction - 心经简林 Wisdom Path...
