My recent date (wanna be) at Jing Jai Market in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We went to this special event called 'A Date in Hong Kong (เดทนี้ที่ฮ่องกง)' and it was interesting!
First off, the ticket price was only 50THB, and to sweeten the deal, if you posted a photo on Facebook or Instagram, you got a FREE classic Hong Kong drink. My bf, Kevin and I were lucky enough to go on the last day, so we didn't even have to pay for the entrance..
Now, I'm a huge history buff, so this kind of stuff really gets me going. As we entered the event, we were transported back in time to Hong Kong in the olden days. They recreated an entire mini Hong Kong street with all the little trinkets and treasures you could imagine. Even the staff was dressed up like Hong Kongnese from back then.. There's also a barber where Kev went and had a seat, the staff fake cut his hair which looks almost like the scene straigh out of a Hong Kong movie. it was so cool!
One of the highlights of the event was the show they put on. As we were walking around checking out the stalls, they had actors performing on the set, almost as if we were in the show too! The kids loved it, and to be honest, so did we.
Now, let's talk about the food. They had a few different Hong Kong snacks on offer, and I decided to be a little adventurous and try the seasoned stomach and tea-boiled egg. I have to admit, it looked interesting, but the taste was just like a regular egg with a hint of tea scent. Nonetheless, it was a fun experience trying out some new things.
Overall, it was quite unique and cute stuff they have going on. I enjoyed it a lot. Wish it was a bit bigger of an event so I could enjoy it longer! If they hold this event next time, for sure I will be there!
