One thing about taxi driver in Hong Kong, you rarely see a cab without a few mobile phones mounted on the dashboard. The taxi driver here loves to talk and if he's not talking to the passenger, he will be on the phone with his friends or whoever. Sometimes, in-between chatting with you, the driver will switch to talking on the phone and as he is on ( Read more... )

I stayed within walking distance from the Wanchai market.

Basically besides the air-conditioned wet market, the various streets in Wanchai are filled with stalls selling fresh fruits and vegetables, poultry and meats, seafood, dried goods, clothes and hats and so on and so forth. To be very honest, I hate this part initially as it's so haphazard but ( Read more... )

There are 2 shops near the A3 exit of Wanchai MTR station that I'll go to get my baking supplies. Both of them are located in the same building -- Simsons Commercial Building.  The building faces the main road with the tram line but it's entrance is small. so have to really look out for it.  The shops are ( Read more... )

I had a ladies night out last Friday and that was when I discovered this quirky bar - Tai Lung Fung (大龍鳳). What's we like best about this is it serves the most addictive prawn paste chicken wings (虾酱鸡）!　 The chef who doubles up as server was very friendly and funny. I ended up going there three times just in a week!

I went to the History Museum for the first time last Wednesday. I chose Wednesday as I know it's free admission. The history shown in this museum dates back to millions of years ago, in fact, there are so much information that I find it a little over-whelming. I did not even venture beyond basement 1 -- "The Hong Kong Story" . Think I will have ( Read more... )

It's been almost a year since we first got the Disneyland annual pass and actually we did not utilize the pass very well. Last Sunday, I decided that we should at least go for the last time before the pass expires. I still remember it was mid-autumn festival when we went to Disneyland last year.

We caught an early morning show, Mission Impossible 5 - Rouge Nation. Just like the other MI show, the suspend kept us glued to the screen for the entire 2 hours. The setting took us from London to Cuba to Vienna to Morocco. The female lead actress, Rebecca Ferguson, is very attractive too ( Read more... )
