The other exhibition we visited in Chai Wan was Ho Fan's 'A Hong Kong Memoir', which runs until January 31 at the AO VERTICAL gallery. It really is worth a visit, so if you are into photography, you should go and see it! Ho Fan is one of Asia’s most beloved street photographers. He captured… Continue reading Photography exhibition: Ho Fan at AO VERTICAL
I am a bit annoyed with myself that I discovered this exhibition late - that's because it is hosted at the YY9 Gallery in Chai Wan, which is in the Far East of Hong Kong Island, and it is open only on Wed-Sat. So I had to find some time to go there - but… Continue reading Art exhibition: Soulmate at YY9 Gallery
I stopped counting how many Tin Hau temples I've already visited in Hong Kong - I've been to the obvious ones in Tin Hau, Yau Ma Tei, Stanley but there are several one. The last one that I can add to my 'visited' list is the one in Aberdeen. It's right at the end of… Continue reading Aberdeen Tin Hau Temple
I've done this hike a few times at night, but never in daytime... so after walking along Bowen Road, we decided to continue uphill to Wan Chai Gap road and from there go down the Aberdeen Nature Trail to Aberdeen. It's a fairly short hike, around 6km, but a very scenic one. Here's a short… Continue reading Day hike: Wan Chai to Aberdeen

I can't believe we had 20 degrees and sunshine at lunchtime, while it was cold and snowing in most parts of Europe. We were sweating and staying in the shade, trying to be careful not to get… Continue reading Walk along Bowen Road

This might not be your usual cup of tea, but… Continue reading Hong Kong Marching Band Contest 2014
I think I've found my favourite exhibition in Hong Kong this year - it's at the Ben Brown Fine Arts Gallery in the Pedder Building. When I walked in, I had no idea what to expect and I was blown away. I had no idea who Tseng Kwong Chi and at a first glance, I… Continue reading Tseng Kwong Chi at Ben Brown Art Gallery
A quick review of the Jeff Koons exhibition that ran until December 20, 2014 in Hong Kong.
Finally it is cool enough to go for Hot Pot - and one of our favourite places is Him Kee, a Szechuan hot pot restaurant tucked away on the first, second and third floors of a building on Jaffe road. The restaurant is easy to miss, if you don't know which stair case to walk… Continue reading Review: Him Kee Hot Pot
Wondering where to go for a Sunday breakfast? Check out the new 'The Cupping Room' in Wan Chai, which opened recently on 32 Swatow Street (that's opposite the Southern Playground in one of the side streets between the Wan Chai Markets and The Pawn). Now we finally have an alternative to the amazing, but often… Continue reading Review: The Cupping Room in Wan Chai
