Sorry - another Ramen post today. As you can tell, I do enjoy eating Ramen. Especially after a hike or workout session! However, this one was enjoyed after work and on my way to the HK Cultural Centre (to enjoy a concert). I was walking towards the Wan Chai Ferry Pier when I noticed that… Continue reading Review: Menya Musashi
I am not a big baker but I do enjoy a night out baking with friends. Knowing how dedicated Kyle and Victor from The Mixing Bowl in Sheung Wan (see my previous Macaron baking class and my interview with the talented two bakers) are, I keep an eye on their calendar to see if there… Continue reading Bread Baking Class at the Mixing Bowl
I really enjoy exploring Hong Kong - not just the landscape and its country parks, but also the backstreets, alleyways and parts that are off the beaten track. One way to find out more about the history of the city, explore new areas and meet great people is to join one of the treasure hunts… Continue reading Treasure Hunt from Central to Aberdeen
The Hong Kong Park is one of the best places in Central Hong Kong to get away from all the hustle and bustle as well as the noise of the city. I try to walk through it every now and then, and when I have the time I visit the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea… Continue reading Hong Kong Park Aviary
I've been blogging too long... three years of blogging and over 1,000 posts later I noticed that I've covered most sights in one form or the other. So this also happened to me with the Bank of China building, which I written about before (on a very sunny day). I revisited the building on a… Continue reading Bank of China observatory
After visiting all the exhibitions I kept walking through the streets of Central ... ... and I just went past all the wet market stalls around Graham Street. I love this area. It is such a classic place to visit, walking along the small green stores with its fresh produce almost feels like Hong Kong… Continue reading Graham Street market revisited
Finally, the third and final exhibition that I visited in the Pedder Building. It was a photographic exhibition that my friends had recommended: Searching Journeys by the well-known Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama. He is widely recognised for his innovative, highly personal and unvarnished depictions of urban life. He is known for back-street boxers, strippers and… Continue reading Art exhibition: Daido Moriyama at Simon Lee Gallery
Ignorant me... I have never explored the depths of the Pedder Building. Hence I have never come across the gallery of Lehmann Maupin. What a shame! I was pleasantly surprised by the exhibition of new paintings by British artist Billy Childish. This is his first show in Hong Kong and I loved how the large-scale… Continue reading Art exhibition: Billy Childish at Lehmann Maupin
I enjoy exploring art galleries - but I often ran out of time to see all the current shows and exhibitions. So I was lucky that all the rain had cut short one of my hikes (a repeat of Wilson Trail Stage 3 with my friend Monica) so I could visit the Pearl Lam Galleries… Continue reading Art exhibition: Spiritual as Mountains at Pearl Lam Galleries
I'm normally not the one who uncovers new bars or restaurants - it takes me months to finally visit them. But there are exceptions to this rule. One of them is Ping Pong 129 Gintonería on Second Street in Sai Ying Pun. I was lucky to visit it two weeks ago during its soft opening… Continue reading Ping Pong 129 Gintonería
