Eat my way to Hong Kong - The cable car with a glass bottom!

Okay, before we scare ourselves to death on the cable car with glass bottom, we need to feed our empty stomachs. And besides the dim sum and wanton noodles, congee is a must-have in Hong Kong. So early in the morning, we took the MTR train all the way to the old streets of Shueng Wan to look for the famous Sang Kee Congee Shop.



Sang Kee Congee Shop, like the name says it all, specialises in selling congee... all kinds of congee that you cannot imagine. They have the single ingredient like beef congee, double ingredients like fish stomach and beef congee, and even the super duper big bowl of triple ingredients like fish stomach with beef and chicken congee! And the price is so reasonable that even triple ingredients congees are just HKD42, which is merely SGD7! Do you believe it?!?



My bowl of fish stomach and beef congee came overflowing with deliciously smooth congee and tender fish stomach and beef slices. The congee is so silky smooth that you can tell it has been boiling there since dawn, and the ingredients are so generous that I still had got more fish stomach and beef slices left when I was almost done with the congee! Hey, with such cheap and good food, I definitely have no problem coming to this small and remote congee place again on my next trip!

With a full stomach, we proceeded to take the cable car. Hmm... didn't sounded right especially when we're expecting some scary glass bottom... But anyway by the time we've queued like one hour to get the cable car tickets, most of the congee and excitement had been digested.

While the Crystal Cable Car with glass bottom is more expensive than the normal one, we took it because (a) the glass bottom is special (b) the queue is shorter.







The whole cable car journey is about 25 minutes, and you can see the beautiful big sea and high mountains on the way. Oh, you can also see the airport. So we kept ourselves busy taking picture in that long 25 minutes ride.











Actually the glass bottom of the cable car is not that scary. Well, unless you've got real serious height issue. Even my friend who were scared and sat one corner for the first few minutes eventually got into photo-taking mode! So don't worry and give it a try! It's cool!



Oh yes, there is actually trails on the mountains leading to the Giant Buddha and we actually see some strong determined people trekking...
