After Disneyland -- Dinner time at Han-Yang Won Restaurant- The Quetz travel 2013

After Disneyland, our relatives in Hong kong took us for dinner at Han-Yang Won Restaurant.Sounds Korean? 

Yes, it is a Korean buffet Restaurant at Hong Kong. Actually, I was shocked as to why they took us there instead of a Chinese Restaurant. And the minute that we walk in, it's not only a buffet which offers Korean food, it has food variations from Thai, Japanese and Chinese.

They have great soups, appetizers, and vegetables (raw and cooked). They got a great selection of marinated meat and seafood that you can cook from your table.They got a good selection of desserts especially loves their flavored Ice Cream.They have all types of juices and soju.

As we are so many we took the long table and luckily we have Ahjumma Ate to assist us.

She took care of us while we dine here (see first photo below). 

Our tummy satisfied, nice restaurant ambiance, staff are friendly and courteous.

We had a great laugh and Mama and her nieces got great talks and have time to catch up with gossips (wink).

Memes goofing around

Panda Memes says Hello

As I wasn't able to take a photo of the food here, just take a look at our table so you can have an idea.
Some of us, just like my children, if the food on the table was not familiar they don't want to eat neither taste it. However, tonight is something different for them they are able to eat and had fun too. Elder people always say "A Happy tummy means Happy People".

Jaja and Memes wacky face

Back to chow time.

We were here from 2000 -till it is almost closing time. We took time to eat, drink, savor the taste of the food. Our relatives and granny took this time as well to talk about life, hang around with each other as they haven't seen each other after long years. Everybody was busy with work, children had grown up and so many other stuff. As for me, I savor all the foods I could eat and Aunt Kaye's moment as well, as this will be a treat for her after graduating from Medical School. A lot of things going on at one long table like this.

All the happy Faces you see is because they love the foods. We all deserved to eat such a feast after a day from work or for us after a day we explore Disneyland. A night we can treasure to remember, this place is like cloud nine for the tummy. And didn't I mentioned that is not pricey, it's worth the money.
They have four branches in Hong kong:
Address 1: Jd Mall, 235 Nathan Road, Jordan, Hong Kong
Address 2: Chung Kiu Commercial Building, 51, 47-51 Shan Tng Street, Hong Kong
Address 3: 5 Cameron Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
Address 4: 1 Great George St. East Point, Hong kong

If you happened to be near these places, visit and taste the food. 

Munchkins tummies are full 

Sister love

Panda dining with us, LOL!

Panda's sleeping now after food

It was a beautiful and feastful dinner with our relatives in Hong Kong. Everybody ate to their heart's content. We share some laughs, talk about what we did for the day.It was a memory to remember for my Jaja as this is part of her 7th Birthday Celebration.

Food is worth the money we paid for. Cool ambiance and nice staff. Affordable and filling Korean/Asian buffet.There locations or branches are easy to find. It is situated to busy place. Lots of variations of food, for sure you will find one to your liking.  The food is fresh, the place is clean and the server always changes our grill. Self-cooking, marinated meats, cooked food, drinks on the tap, dessert, fruits, the list goes on. Overall, we loved it and for sure we will come back with a bigger crowd. Good food always nice to share with someone you love.

Writing this blog in memory of our Ate Felicing who is not anymore with us. Only met you twice however you have shown us that aside from your awesome appetite, you also have a generous and loving heart.

Till next blog guys. The Quetz will see you later.

The Quetz Travel to Hongkong Disneyland - Evening

Still here at TomorrowLand, this place means future like the back in the future kind of thing (first thought)? I guess not.. It's like a Sci-fi meets FantasyLand. It gives us a view in the future about the space travel and exploration.

Due to time constraints plus the fact that,not all the ride we can enjoy due to my little munchkins. We just decided to take photos and stroll around..

BTW, there are five main attractions here. Namely Stitch Encounter, an interactive character show where guest interact with Sticth. Secondly,Orbitron it is a simple spinning ride (up and down motion). Thirdly,Autopia it is the park's circuit driving attraction.Where you get to drive a slow electric vehicle along with the track. Fourth,Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. It is an interactive dark ride,feature fully rotatable vehicles and has a movable laser guns. A kind of slow moving ride , with  score targets however no price if you get the highest score, still entertaining and fun. Lastly, the Space Mountain which is a roller coaster attraction.

Catch you Buzz

The Quetz and Buzz to infinity and beyond..

I guess we are blessed to see Buzz here as we are unable to enjoy the rides. Still it was fun and entertaining just seeing this character come to life. The other buildings at this place are restaurants, with very nice roofs. Tomorrowland has the largest restaurant in the park, it's called the Starliner Diner. It is a fast food  which serves burgers, fries, chicken wings and more.

Inside the future OOTD

The Quetz were here to travel to space and beyond.

Strong Jaja carrying the world .

So that complete our tour around the TomorrowLand,  as the sun goes down we need to get going and move to the other themes of this Park. 

Since it's almost dark, we decided to take  the train at the Hongkong Disneyland Railroad- Main Street Station. It is a vintage locomotive for a scenic tour at the Park. It is one of the easy and quick way to go around. Because the train are scheduled to arrive at each station every 5 to 15  minutes throughout the day. While riding the train you will hear the clamor of the engine, chug of the wheels and the call of the whistle. The train stops at Main Street, U.S.A. and FantasyLand. It also the perfect way to see the scenery at Hongkong Disneyland Park.

The seats or benches face the park (see photo below) so you can see and enjoy the spectacular views of the theme park. There are 2 trains in total is called the "Walt" and the Disney train.

Enjoying the view while riding the train.

Adventureland

Our next stop was the  jungle - themed area of wild animals, savage headhunters and rain forests.The themed  park resembles the remote jungles like Africa, Asia, South America and South Pacific. There are four things to see and explore in this theme park like Jungle River Cruise ride,Tarzan's tree house, Liki tikis and Festival of the Lion.

Again, due to time constraints and my munchkins were scared of the sound of the jungle we could only enjoy the Jungle River Cruise ride around the the theme park, see Tarzan tree house and Liki tikis. Each boat has a tourist guide explaining what we can see around, so it was still fun.

Jaja covering her ears as she doesn't want to hear the jungle sound.

Boarded the Jungle Cruise ride boat.

Waving goodbye to people on queue.

And here are some of the photo .

Hippo on the side.

As it gets dark, still were taking photo at this Pixie Hollow because it's so cute.

Fantasyland again, because it's situated at the back of the park and flanked by AdventureLand on the left and TomorrowLand on the right.

Bye for now guys ...

Almost all people on mobile phone , Internet connection is fast here.

Munchkins are all so tired .

Finally train arrived.

And that ends our day trip to Hongkong Disneyland, for us who have small kid below 5 years old , a day trip will be okay. However, for bigger kids and young at hearts, a day will not be enough to really explore this beautiful theme park.

 A lot to consider like the queue on each ride,the phase how we walk on each areas and how much time we spent on each themes parks. Hongkong Disneyland has a different things to offer it's guest, highly recommended to make each one happy at the end of the tour.

Will definitely comeback to this happy land.

We are all tired however happy to visit this place. See for yourselves and experience it.

The Quetz saying goodnight and see you on the next blog.

This was just posted by me now as I want to remember and feel again the happiness when we travel. 

Some of the attractions might change, just look  at the Hongkong Disneyland official website for updates.

The Quetz Travel to Hong kong - Disneyland - At Midday

After the activity in the morning we are all famish, the nearest restaurant we could find is the Maxim's. Actually there was a long queue and we have to wait for our table, however we didn't mind as we are too tired to walk and to look for another place.

In addition to that, queue means people love their food so we got to try this restaurant.

And when we finally got our seat, energy low and really hungry.This is the time that we found out it's a Chinese restaurant, food is similar back home and to our taste bud likings. Their presentation of food was nice,there was somebody with the small food cart going around and you can take what you want, we took all kinds of dumplings there. However as we are hungry and excited to eat ,we are unable to take pictures.We enjoy our meal and our tummy satisfied.

Our faces while waiting for our food (Mr. Quetz is the one who took this photo, reason why he is not on the frame).

It's a Small World

It is actually a boat ride where children around the world singing the song "It's a small World". Travel to the 7 continents, see and experience a rainbow of diverse cultures of 

locales children from the North Pole, Europe, Middle East, Africa, America, Asia, Pacific Islands and the Rain forest.At the end of the journey you will see for yourself that indeed it's a small world after all. During your travel look out for some of the Disney characters as well. The Hong kong Disneyland score features four Chinese instruments namely the Xiao, the Guzheng , the Pipa, and the Erhu. This version adds four new languages to the song like Cantonese, Putonghua, Korean and Tagalog. The Cantonese lyrics were originally written more than 30 years ago by the lyricist James Wong for a Disney musical in Hong Kong. Original composer of the song 'It's a small World"  is the award winner Robert Sherman.
