Quarantine hotel in Hong Kong part 3

 The last leg! 7 days to go and freedom awaits hehe

The hotel gave some woodcraft to cure our boredom haha

When I first saw the instructions, I did a double take on the front of the box saying this is for 8 years old and above >.< It looked complicated but yay managed to build a 3D church woodcraft all by myself hehe

And a swan! Woo-hoo

Tea time surprise was Sachima, a Chinese egg pastry made from fried egg noodles mixed in syrup. Sweet, fluffy and melts in mouth! Thank you <3

Sudoku book to get the mind active in quarantine haha

Day 19 is the last testing day in quarantine yay! They took 2 different samples from each of us and if our 4 samples turn out negative, we could go out on Day 21 =))

Husband's colleague delivered a super cute hand warmer for the coming colder days =)

Day 20 Dinner- Teriyaki Chicken & Chicken and Cheese Spaghetti Bolognese

It's DAY 21!! OMG *excitednessss* Last dayyy

Breakfast- Hong Kong Satay Beef with soup noodle.

We've been ordering the same meals these days hahaha. Lunch was scrambled egg and pork cutlet with rice.

Tea time surprise is black sesame biscuit.

Dinner had something special as well...complimentary soup. So good! Missed drinking soup.

Black pepper beef with rice.

And finally it's check out time yay!! Freedom and fresh air awaits haha

Stayed in Holiday Inn Golden Mile, Tsim Sha Tsui and honestly, it's not the cheapest nor the most expensive. We paid almost HKD40k all in (inclusive air purifier & exercise bike) for 21 days. It's a 4 star hotel so we expected better service honestly. They could have improved in their service but understandable because they were recently included in the quarantine hotel list in December so technically we're one of the very first batch so there were teething issues and government kept changing the quarantine rules making it stricter -.- But overall, they improved within the 21 days, the amenities came faster, they responded faster and tried their best. They arranged games and tea time surprises for us which is very good and interactive. Food wise, some hits, some misses but on days that the food can barely be eaten, we have our instant noodles from Malaysia and ready to eat food. We were super busy working throughout the quarantine period so the entire quarantine flew by very fast. Couldn't believe we were kinda comfortable in a 290 sq ft for almost a month haha that when quarantine period is almost over, we were afraid of what's to come outside LOL

Certificate of completion woohoo! Yup maybe we do deserve a certificate of completion for surviving the world's longest mandatory quarantine LMAO

First time seeing what's outside the four walls of our room haha

Uber to our temporary accommodation! Til the next adventure after quarantine =)

Quarantine hotel in Hong Kong part 2

 We have now completed another 7 days of quarantine which means 14 days done. Another 1/3 more to go! Woo-hoo! Time flew by honestly. We were super busy and super occupied with work, studying Chinese(since I'm not Chinese educated), attending many virtual calls & finding out about the property market in Hong Kong (for our permanent residence) etc The food in this hotel is also going downhill but their service is improving. I guess you just can't have it all haha

Day 8 lessgo

I was quite surprised when I saw macaroni with soup >.< but then after posting this on instagram, apparently a lot of people DM-ed me saying this is the norm in HK. People in HK eat macaroni in soup so ermm...I guess if it's their culture I got nothing much to say and just avoid this food when I'm out later LOL

Today's meal CMI. So had to cook Mi Sedap haha

Day 9.

Hotel also sent some 3D building blocks so that we don't feel bored *laughs*

5th PCR test in quarantine. 5 more to go haha

Hotel then sent some complimentary HK Yau craft beers for happy hour.

On to Day 10

It's Bingo Day! Organised by the Hotel via zoom hehe Quite fun.

As you can see, I didn't win LOL

Yay! Tea time surprise. When you're in quarantine, this is what you look forward to. Small surprises from the hotel hahaha

Mini polo bun =) Soo good! Will get more of these when we go out.

Today's dinner also can't make it ahaha so penang white curry mee it is!

Day 11 lunch was a system glitch.

Hotel sent us some maze activity book so that we will not bombard them about the lunch mix ups hahaha

Moving on to Day 12.

6th PCR test.

Same spaghetti on repeat *rolls eyes*

Cannot stand. Magic cooker has to make another appearance haha...Bought some ready to eat meals from Shopee right before we flew so we can have some Malaysian food in quarantine.

This was spicily good! Eat this hot with white rice and we were more than happy for the night hehe

Day 13.

Day 14. Yay! We survived 14 days. Another 7 to go!

The prize was a box full of Kinder Bueno chocs! Yay! With lil surprises like these kept us going. Since we don't have any family/friends to bring us food, these mean a lot to us =)

We totally indulged that night haha

Don't know what is up with the same spaghetti sauce on repeat LOL..luckily we have a stash of Malaysian food on days like these. Now that it's only 7 days days more to go to freedom, feeling a bit uncertain with what is waiting at the outside world now hahaha
