I had written before about useful hiking info on the Internet and what guide books I use, but I've never shared all the useful apps that I use when going out hiking in Hong Kong: MyObservatory (iTunes / Android) This is the best app to use BEFORE a hike, when you are trying to find… Continue reading Useful apps to plan a hike in Hong Kong
I've already posted about a number of hikes in and out of Discovery Bay. By far the most popular one is the Mui Wo route, as it is easy to walk and only takes 1.5-2 hours. I've written about it in 2011, when I first came to Hong Kong, then in 2012 when I hiked… Continue reading Hiking from Tung Chung to Discovery Bay
After weeks of laziness I'm back on the hiking trails - and I discovered a new night hike route that I really like (I should add it to my list of favourite night hikes). It runs from Wan Chai to Aberdeen via Bennett Hill and is short (6km), but fast. The hike starts at Hopewell… Continue reading Night hike: Wan Chai to Aberdeen
Ok, I admit it - I'm a little obsessed with PMQ. It's such a great building and I love that it houses so many different shops. Even if not all of them have been opened, I walked around for two hours checking out the different outlets. The plan is that by mid-June 2014 all 100+… Continue reading Exploring the shops at PMQ

It is a very interesting building, so let me write a little bit more about it today. The original police married… Continue reading PMQ is open

The site is a grade three historical building, and consists of a… Continue reading Night Market – PMQ Central
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
You've been reading my blog for some time? If yes, then you know that I enjoy hiking in Hong Kong and that I'm regularly participating in hikes organised by the Hong Kong Hiking MeetUp. What you might not know is that the group was founded back in February 2005 by SK Shum, who still runs… Continue reading Interview with SK Shum – the founder of the Hong Kong Hiking MeetUp
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
