I've been lucky once... and I've been lucky twice. A few months ago I went on my first Foodie Tour around Central and Sheung Wan and I really enjoyed it. Now, a few days ago, I went on my second Foodie Tour around Sham Shui Po and really enjoyed it too! This time Silvana from… Continue reading Hong Kong Foodie Tour in Sham Shui Po
A few weekends ago I was strolling through Sham Shui Po - an area that I'm not familiar with. It is really interesting, with lots of old shops and stores, lots of street and flea markets and many local people. There were not many tourists in the area when I was walking through the streets.… Continue reading Photography: Walking through Sham Shui Po
The following pictures were taken on a cold day in Sham Shui Po - but they could have been taken in several places in and around Hong Kong. It's not an uncommon sight to see a vendor selling roasted chestnuts or even sweet potatoes, there are quite a few in Hong Kong. Often, when I… Continue reading Photography: Hot chestnut vendors
Oh no... I'm a day late, but nonetheless, let me present a great blog for food lovers in Hong Kong (that includes locals, expats, tourists, visitors and people just dreaming of visiting Hong Kong). It's HungrySu by Suzanne Guan. Suzanne is a Chinese girl that loves food - any kind of food! She blogs about… Continue reading Interview with HungrySu
After exploring some recent art exhibitions in Central we continued our stroll through Sheung Wan. I really love this area, it is so nice with little shops and studios. It has great character with all the old houses and little streets, I really hope it continues to stay like this and don't get too commercialised… Continue reading Strolling through Sheung Wan in January
I'm always a big fan of the Pearl Lam Galleries in Hong Kong, they put on such great and fun exhibition (for example the Jim Lambie exhibition earlier this year). Just before Christmas I went to see Yinka Shonibare's exhibition there, which runs until January 9, 2014. This is the first solo exhibition in Hong… Continue reading Art exhibition: Yinka Shonibare at Pearl Lam Galleries
Every year Hong Kong puts some amazing fireworks on show - and every year all the viewing points are pretty packed. But it is worth waiting and queuing up for the fireworks. This year, the New Year's Eve firework display lasted eight minutes and was really beautiful. But let's start from the beginning. On New… Continue reading New Year’s Eve 2013
Today I'm featuring a blog I recently discovered while searching for information about Chinese letter boxes: StyleBriefHongKong. This is a great blog about life in Hong Kong - with amazing pictures that always capture my full attention. Even if I might have walked past the place or shop before, Belinda and Ingrid show it in… Continue reading Interview with StyleBriefHongKong
It has taken me such a long time to visit this famous place - I've almost lived three years in Hong Kong and just a few weeks ago it was my first visit to the ABC Kitchen (and I had read so much about it here, here and here). Needless to say that I have… Continue reading Review: ABC Kitchen
I am a regular reader of Jennifer's Expat Lingo blog - her comics about everyday life and the culture clashes in Hong Kong and mainland China often make me laugh. She has a great sense of humour and I love that she openly shares her experiences of living in Hong Kong with two kids, comparing… Continue reading Interview with Expat Lingo
