This is one of the restaurants (similar to YOUKA) that I've been walking past for so many times without realising it is a restaurant! Kanizen on Thomson Road in Wan Chai. The dark windows and discreet sliding doors make this restaurant hard to spot - but once you open the door you know immediately what… Continue reading Review: Kanizen
I have written about ArtisTree and its exhibitions (the current one is Raghu Rai's photography exhibition about India that I've visited this weekend) before, but I noticed I never wrote much about the building. One Island East is one of many skyscrapers in Hong Kong - there are over 112 buildings that stand taller than… Continue reading One Island East
Hong Kong is celebrating the international photo festival from August 8 to November 11, 2014. It is focused on promotion art photography and was inaugurated in 2010. This year the theme is "Now Becoming Then" and the focus is on how the nature of photography enables human beings to transcend time and space. The now… Continue reading Photography Exhibition: Raghu Rai
I thought I'd knew most hiking routes by now - but because I've still not finished the MacLehose trail there are still some parts of Kowloon that I need to explore. One of these parts is Lion Rock, which is in a country park that has the same name: Lion Rock Country Park. The hike… Continue reading Hiking: Lion Rock
The title is slightly misleading - I didn't actually see that many elephants at the Cityplaza shopping mall last Thursday (I saw more at Pacific Place the other day). That's because the exhibition ended already on September 9. Instead, I spent more time in the shop, looking over all the different designs from the different… Continue reading Elephant Parade in Cityplaza
It's Wednesday, so time for my next blog interview ... and this time it is with Rachel from Little Koo, a blog that I discovered almost two years ago. I was immediately drawn to Rachel's blog because it combines tips about Hong Kong, excursions to tucked away beaches and hikes, as well as a few… Continue reading Interview with Little Koo
After pandas, there are now elephants in town... not as many as there were during the 1,600 papier-mache pandas' visit, but still plenty! I visited the herd at Pacific Place last weekend - they will stay there, as well as in Cityplaza and Citygate Outlets until September 9, so you still have a few days… Continue reading Elephant Parade in Pacific Place
In the first part of the series I told you how we keep Sam safe, then the second part was about how to keep an indoor cat engaged and exercised - the third and final part is how to feed my feline friend. Sam is a spoilt cat – he gets fed a really varied… Continue reading Living with an indoor cat in Hong Kong & keeping Sam well-fed
Another weekend gone, another hike under my belt. I really enjoy trying out different routes, so this weekend was no different. We met up at North Point MTR station and walked for about 3 hours to reach Hopewell Centre. It was a slightly different route than usual, as we didn't start from Quarry Bay. From… Continue reading Hiking: North Point to Hopewell Centre
On Sunday I went for an easy sunset hike from Ma On Shan to Sai Kung - easy means that it is not too steep or too fast, but it still is a 3 hour hike with some incline. We started at Heng On MTR Station (Ma On Shan Line) and walked through the estate,… Continue reading Hiking: Ma On Shan to Sai Kung
