The former Police Married Quarters (hence PMQ) in Central has been renovated and launched as a a creative hub for local design talent. The site is a grade three historical building, and consists of a… Continue reading Night Market – PMQ Central
Sorry - another Ramen post today. As you can tell, I do enjoy eating Ramen. Especially after a hike or workout session! However, this one was enjoyed after work and on my way to the HK Cultural Centre (to enjoy a concert). I was walking towards the Wan Chai Ferry Pier when I noticed that… Continue reading Review: Menya Musashi
I am not a big baker but I do enjoy a night out baking with friends. Knowing how dedicated Kyle and Victor from The Mixing Bowl in Sheung Wan (see my previous Macaron baking class and my interview with the talented two bakers) are, I keep an eye on their calendar to see if there… Continue reading Bread Baking Class at the Mixing Bowl
You've been reading my blog for some time? If yes, then you know that I enjoy hiking in Hong Kong and that I'm regularly participating in hikes organised by the Hong Kong Hiking MeetUp. What you might not know is that the group was founded back in February 2005 by SK Shum, who still runs… Continue reading Interview with SK Shum – the founder of the Hong Kong Hiking MeetUp
I really enjoy exploring Hong Kong - not just the landscape and its country parks, but also the backstreets, alleyways and parts that are off the beaten track.

I've been blogging too long... three years of blogging and over 1,000 posts later I noticed that I've covered most sights in one form or the other. So this also happened to me with the Bank of China building, which I written about before (on a very sunny day). I revisited the building on a… Continue reading Bank of China observatory
After visiting all the exhibitions I kept walking through the streets of Central ... ... and I just went past all the wet market stalls around Graham Street. I love this area. It is such a classic place to visit, walking along the small green stores with its fresh produce almost feels like Hong Kong… Continue reading Graham Street market revisited
Finally, the third and final exhibition that I visited in the Pedder Building. It was a photographic exhibition that my friends had recommended: Searching Journeys by the well-known Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama. He is widely recognised for his innovative, highly personal and unvarnished depictions of urban life. He is known for back-street boxers, strippers and… Continue reading Art exhibition: Daido Moriyama at Simon Lee Gallery
