Artisan Lounge @ K11 Musea {Foodee}
I met up with May over the weekend and we had coffee and cake at the Artisan Lounge in K11 Musea mall. Luckily they had a bar spot for two people even though we had no reservations. That place is really popular because of its view of the mall’s gorgeous indoor architecture, so it’s almost […]
Big Birdy {Foodee}
Sometime during the week, my Filipino colleagues and I had lunch at Big Birdy in Wan Chai. Here’s the menu: Most of us picked the lunch set which comes with a choice of starter, main, side, and drink for H$115. I chose the soup for my starter. It was a pumpkin soup with a side […]

A few days ago, I got an email saying that my blog was named as one of the Top 30 Asia Expat Blogs on Moneytransfers.com. If you go through the list, you’ll see a lot of blogs in different Asian countries, and I was the only one listed under Hong Kong. So does that mean […]
Maycation at Ritz-Carlton
For May’s birthday on June 4, she planned a full day’s worth of activities. I said we should call it a Maycaytion – a play on her name plus staycation, get it? 😁 Brunch at Kitchen W Part 1 was buffet breakfast at Kitchen W. The set up is so beautiful, like something worthy of […]
Bridge Climb Sydney
Two years ago, my friend Cate and her husband Glenn gave their bridesmaids a generous gift – a free ticket to Bridge Climb Sydney.
