Started off the 3rd day with Gai Dan Zai 雞蛋仔 (again) and curry fishball for breakfast before heading off to Central which is situated in Hong Kong island.
Getting to Central from Tsim Sha Tsui is pretty easy. Just gotta take the MTR (red line) from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central (which is the last stop), and it's 2 stops away only, pretty fast.
Exiting via J2 will lead you to Chater Garden, which is a small but beautiful park where you can take glorious shots of various skyscraper and not forgetting the Bank of China building.
From Chater Garden, we head to The Landmark, which is another shopping mall. Gosh, the amount of shopping mall in Hong Kong is overflowing like nobody's business. From there, we walk to Lan Kwai Fong (which is obviously not busy because it's a night life kinda place and we were there in broad daylight). Check out the amount of people at Queen's Rd Central !
We head off to Victoria Peak via the Peak Tram since we have some time to kill. Victoria Peak offer this Sky Terrace 428 where it gives you a panoramic view of Hong Kong which can be view either in day or night.
Well, if you're somewhat 'kiasu' as me, wanting to see day and night view, I suggest going up the peak via the tram by 4pm. The tram takes approximately 10mins to go up. When reaching, there's a shopping mall up there for you to kill time (if you need to). Starbucks, McD, 7-11, Delifrance is available up there so don't worry about food.
Sky Terrace 428 is actually an observatory deck on top of a white/silver/grey boat like funny building. In order to go up, you just have to follow the crowd going all the way up using the escalator inside the building. But letting you know first, entering Sky Terrace 428 is per entry only, which means once you come out you cannot go back in again. So if you wanna see day and night view, I suggest going in around 5pm or 6pm and stay up there till you get the night view (which starts around 7pm plus or 8pm).
But if you're an impatient person, you'll have an alternative of getting night view without wasting your time up at Sky Terrace 428, but it'll not be as panoramic.
The brown building beside Sky Terrace 428, they offer FREE view on the 3rd floor. But you gotta work your way up cause only a certain lift will take you up there. YES TOTALLY FREE, but not so panoramic.

It was pretty cold up there since it's on a hill and due to wind blowing.
Since I can pretty much bear the cold, I wore a thin long sleeve shirt plus a not-so-thick down feather jacket. The weather was around 16°C - 18°C that time.
After an exhausting day, we stumble upon this pizzeria called Paisano's Pizzeria which has super huge pizzas. It is next to The One shopping mall in Tsim Sha Tsui. We brought two big slice back to our room to eat and god.. the pizza is super good ! not sure if it's super delicious because we're so hungry or it's genuinely delicious.
