Upcoming Destination

This is my third trip to Hong Kong within a twelve month period, and this has been a longer stay compared to the previous two times. Hong Kong still feels like home after all these years, my two weeks in Hong Kong flew by between eating good food and hanging out with family and friends.

I notice I haven’t been taking that many pictures, this is under representing Hong Kong’s entertainment reputation! Nonetheless, here are some highlights:

• 點心代表 (in Central district, MTR exit D)

This dim sum place is pretty special, all the dim sums are characters and have faces on them. Some of the buns are kinda gross- they either vomit cream or poop chocolate. It’s oddly satisfying to play with your food.

• La Espana

Marvel at this waffle tower with ice-cream, brownie bites, and caramelized banana!! It also comes with five different toppings. I caught up with Andy and Mavis over dinner and this magnificent dessert. I came back to Hong Kong last time for their wedding and it warmed my heart to visit their home this time. Their home was well thought out and reminded me of the transformer homes I saw on TV.

• Fashion events

Thanks to Mishy and Chris, I went to two fashion events during my short stay. The Lane Crawford launch party was full of snacks and food, I was sure my motif going there was different than most people at the event. I also got to sit in the first row of a fashion show (thanks to Chris for the tickets). My impression was, tall slippers would be very popular this season in Hong Kong.

• Catching up with my best friend

Meet my best friend- Natalie. Natalie and I spent a lot of time in cafes playing board games and looking for cute stuff. So glad we found the Totoro shop in Causeway Bay!! I stayed with Natalie for a week and was so glad to meet her cute fluffy cats- Tasha and Mochi. I think I made pretty good friends with both of them 🙂 I didn’t get a good picture of Mochi, so here’s a photo of Tasha.

• Family Time!

I spent mid-autumn festival with my family in Hong Kong this year. Instead of eating traditional moon cake, we ate normal mini cakes. We didn’t see much of the moon as a typhoon was lurking near Hong Kong bringing us lots of rain. I stayed with Mishy for a week, the two of us went to the Escape the Room game room and took on a puzzle challenge fit for six people. I thought we made really good progress trying to break out of the “elevator”. In the end, we didn’t solved all the puzzles within 45 mins. We got lost as a team! Since both of us love cats, we went to some cat cafes. Featuring in the image was a cat that bit me after luring me to hug her…

I am in Okinawa now and will be going to Seoul and Taiwan soon. If any of you would like a postcard, leave a comment or send me your address through private message!
