Now with a baby and a stroller, I'm trying to navigate my way around Hong Kong. And let me tell you, it is not easy. There are too many steps, narrow aisles and uneven pavements everywhere. It is not fun to take a stroller out. However, I am making an effort to find some routes… Continue reading Walk from Tamar to Sheung Wan
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
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
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
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
I know - the mid-autumn festival is officially over (and it has been long gone, since two weeks already). However, the other day when I was strolling through Sheung Wan, I saw these colorful lanterns hanging in the entrance of a residence building. They looked fun - nice and colorful against the dark colours and… Continue reading Fish lanterns in Sheung Wan
Here are just a few pictures of some of the graffiti and stencils in Sheung Wan, there are many more and they keep changing almost every day. I picked those that I like the most - starting with this camera shot, which Patrick actually has as his wallpaper on his phone right now. Then there… Continue reading Graffiti in Sheung Wan
A few days ago I grabbed my camera and just walked through Sheung Wan. I really love this part of Hong Kong, with its small streets, narrow alleys and stairs that run up and down the area. There are so many little shops. Some are stuffed full with products to buy - like this little… Continue reading Strolling through Sheung Wan in October
I wanted to try something different this Friday and I checked out MeetUp to see what was happening in town. I noticed a baking group, called 'The Mixing Bowl HK'. I was intrigued by it. I checked it out (here is its website and Facebook page) and it turns out that Victor and Kyle are… Continue reading Macaron Baking Class at the Mixing Bowl
This is a hidden gem in Sheung Wan. It is tucked away in an inconspicuous building on Po Yan Street. I'm sure I must have walked past it before, but never noticed it. It is a little Oasis hidden away from the hot and busy city. You pass through a narrow corridor into a room… Continue reading Tea Studio in Sheung Wan
