Would it not be great if you could not just read this interview but actually taste the fantastic creations that The Mixing Bowl create? Yes, it would! I have been to their place and I know that the small of freshly baked bread and the taste of sweet macaroons goes well with a hot coffee.… Continue reading Interview with The Mixing Bowl
I had been to Ocean Park twice already, but both times were back in 2011. Since then it has changed, several new attractions have been added - from new animal houses over new rides to new areas in the park. When I first visited, back in May 2011, it was a cold and rainy day.… Continue reading Ocean Park revisited
One of the most amazing artworks that I've seen recently was at the Reveal exhibition at ArtisTree. One of the architects that showed his skill is Edward S. T. Ho - and he is an amazing watercolour painter. It is quite unbelievable that he only started to paint in 2009 when you see his artwork.… Continue reading Edward Ho’s travel journal in watercolour
An almost unknown but very creative exhibition space is ArtisTree in Tai Koo. ArtisTree is a pun for the original word “Artistry” which means “artistic workmanship, effect or quality, artistic ability”. I've been there a few times, first to see the Frank Gehry exhibition about the Opus building and then to see Reveal. Reveal was… Continue reading Reveal and M+ at ArtisTree in Tai Koo

So many times I've seen a picture on her blog, of a place that I recognise (or think that I do)… Continue reading Interview with Photos from Hong Kong
Public art can be a great thing - and Public Art Hong Kong (PAHK) is a good resource to find out more about the sculptures around Hong Kong. So recently, when I was walking along the waterfront from Central to Admiralty, I reached the Grand Hyatt and in the Western Garden next to it where… Continue reading Public art in the Western Garden
Sham Shui Po is not just a great place for foodies or for people looking for cheap electronics... but actually for DIYs of all kind. It has tons of shops selling fabrics (here's another interesting posts about crafty little shops in Sham Shui Po at Ira's blog) buttons and also beads. I wish I had… Continue reading Beads everywhere… in Sham Shui Po
Walking through Sham Shui Po is a foodies mecca - there are so many different things to try here, it's incredible. Even without eating a breakfast in the morning I did not manage to try all those tasty things around me! There were lots of shops selling bbq meat - of course, char siu is… Continue reading Food in Sham Shui Po
