Not just the Central Ferry Piers are relatively new (at least to me), also the whole esplanade that's currently opened between Central and Admiralty. Next year, it will be going all the way from Sheung Wan to Wan Chai and it's a nice alternative to walk next to the harbour instead of the road. After… Continue reading Central Waterfront Promenade
Despite all the Christmas decorations… it's still very mild in Hong Kong. We still have temperatures around 20 degrees with amazing blue sky and sunshine. The weather is better now than it was in May and June this year. On the first December weekend I was walking around the Central Ferry Piers and decided to… Continue reading Central Ferry Piers 9 and 10
I enjoyed the treasure hunt to Sai Kung so much that I decided to ask Stanley a few questions about how he organises the hunts. He was kind enough to answer them for me: Why did you decide to organise the treasure hunts? Except for the orientation day in the university, there is no similar… Continue reading Interview with HK Hunter
On one of my recent hikes I had heard about a treasure hunt in Hong Kong. I was intrigued by it, I love puzzles and challenges and if I could combine this with a way to sightsee in Hong Kong and learn something new, I would be totally happy to take part. So I did… Continue reading Treasure Hunt to Sai Kung
Opposite the Red Brick Building is the old Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market - which turned 100 years this year. It consists of stone buildings one or two-storeys tall and runs along Waterloo Road between Ferry Street and Reclamation Street. Founded in 1913, it’s the oldest fruit market in the city, which was also once… Continue reading Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market
Strolling through the streets of the Yau Ma Tei area, I noticed a small house built with red bricks - it stood next to a high-raise apartment block and I almost overlooked it. It was freshly renovated and had a sign on one of its sides, so I walked closer to find out what it… Continue reading Red Brick Building in Kowloon
After our great tonkatsu dinner at Saboten we were really surprised that we had room left for dessert ... but we had heard so many great things about the green tea ice cream at Via Tokyo (just down the street) that we just had to go there. We were lucky, the place was full but… Continue reading Review: Via Tokyo
Continuing with food this week... we found a new place to enjoy tonkatsu pork cutlet. In the past, we liked to go to the Ginza Bairin in the IFC, but now we prefer Saboten in Causeway Bay (don't confuse it with the Saboten at the Hong Kong International Airport. That's nowhere as good). Saboten is… Continue reading Review: Saboten in Causeway Bay
Every other Monday I'll share with you an interview with an interesting person or team I've met. This could be a fellow blogger, local foodie, world traveller, entrepreneur or just a friend. Let's kick-start the series with Jun & Priscilla from Homemade in HK. They both live in Hong Kong, love to cook and started… Continue reading Interview with Homemade in HK
Finally, I'm back in Hong Kong ... and the weather has cooled down. It's now so much nicer to stroll around Hong Kong, without having to carry lots of water and a towel with you! Last weekend I walked through Sheung Wan, just strolling around the streets until I found Wing Lee Street. This is… Continue reading Wing Lee Street
