We spent the first day of 2015 walking around Wan Chai - it was such a beautiful day. I can't believe we had 20 degrees and sunshine at lunchtime, while it was cold and snowing in most parts of Europe. We were sweating and staying in the shade, trying to be careful not to get… Continue reading Walk along Bowen Road
What to do if you've been to numerous concerts and exhibitions across Hong Kong? You try something different. That's what we did - we went to see the Hong Kong Marching Band Contest this Saturday (Dec 27) at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium in Wan Chai. This might not be your usual cup of tea, but… Continue reading Hong Kong Marching Band Contest 2014
Ok, I admit it - some things take longer to reach me! I had no idea there was a 3D light show at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and the Clock Tower at Tsim Sha Tsui, that will coincide with the Hong Kong WinterFest. I just happened to stumble upon it after leaving the Cultural… Continue reading Hong Kong Pulse 3D Light Show
I think I've found my favourite exhibition in Hong Kong this year - it's at the Ben Brown Fine Arts Gallery in the Pedder Building. When I walked in, I had no idea what to expect and I was blown away. I had no idea who Tseng Kwong Chi and at a first glance, I… Continue reading Tseng Kwong Chi at Ben Brown Art Gallery
A quick review of the Jeff Koons exhibition that ran until December 20, 2014 in Hong Kong.
I noticed when I posted about the MUJI Cafe, that I had not really posted about all the great food (snacks, cookies, drinks etc.) before. At least not in detail. So here we go today! All the MUJI stores in Hong Kong carry a wide selection of food and drinks, but those are all packaged… Continue reading MUJI Food
One thing that annoys me a little in Hong Kong is the limited focus on recycling and saving resources. Generally I find utility costs lower in Hong Kong than what I used to pay in the UK and in Germany, and what surprises me is that on the monthly/quarterly bills it compares our household consumption… Continue reading Recycling in Hong Kong
Finally it is cool enough to go for Hot Pot - and one of our favourite places is Him Kee, a Szechuan hot pot restaurant tucked away on the first, second and third floors of a building on Jaffe road. The restaurant is easy to miss, if you don't know which stair case to walk… Continue reading Review: Him Kee Hot Pot
Wondering where to go for a Sunday breakfast? Check out the new 'The Cupping Room' in Wan Chai, which opened recently on 32 Swatow Street (that's opposite the Southern Playground in one of the side streets between the Wan Chai Markets and The Pawn). Now we finally have an alternative to the amazing, but often… Continue reading Review: The Cupping Room in Wan Chai
Last Saturday we made a spontaneous decision to visit the Cafe Causette at the Mandarin Oriental - for no specific reason other than Patrick and I had time to spare and we were close by. Patrick had never been before and while I had visited it twice already, I've never tried the afternoon tea. So… Continue reading Review: Afternoon tea at the Cafe Causette at the Mandarin Oriental
