Tawny invited us to make our own personalized cup noodles at the Cup Noodles Museum, so we we went last Saturday. We paid 60 hkd for a ticket. When we got there we were led into a room where we were first asked to sanitize our hands, then we got a an empty cup with […]
Beach Day @ Repulse Bay
Hong Kong has been hit by almost back to back typhoon signal number 8s these past few days, so it was great to see the sun again today, especially at the beach. My friend May and I had signed up for a Girl Gone International* beach day which was held at Repulse Bay. We first […]
PH Independence Day Junk Boat Party
I went on my first junk boat party last June 12, which is Philippine Independence Day. In case you’re wondering what a junk boat is, which was what this newbie expat was wondering about at the beginning, CNN explains: Though the word “junk” traditionally refers to Chinese wooden sailboats dating back to the Han Dynasty […]
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 […]
Daycation @ Kerry Hotel
No I did not invent that word, that’s actually the term used by Kerry Hotel. What it means is you can stay for the day but not overnight, which is when it becomes a staycation. My friend May and I decided to book a daycation slot which includes pool day pass and set lunch for […]
Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel {Staycation}
Last month there was a long Easter weekend (April 2 to 6), so my friend May and I decided to have a one night staycation at Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel during one of the days. Funny story about this – we’re both new to Hong Kong, so we thought the long weekend was only […]
Hiking @ Dragon’s Back {Deetour}
A couple of Saturdays ago found me and my friends May, Mico, and Adrian huffing and puffing our way to Dragon’s Back. It was Adrian’s brain child; he loves to hike and promised that it would be easy but well, I suppose he grossly overestimated my fitness ability. 😜 It probably didn’t help that the […]
Peng Chau Island {Deetour}
On Valentine’s Day, my friend May and Mico invited me to go to Peng Chau island with them. First we had brunch at a place called Flying Pig Deli Social at Sai Ying Pun. Then we caught a ferry to Peng Chau island. It was a quaint seaside village. We ate some grilled squid and […]
Hiking @ The Peak
Last Saturday, I went on my first hike of 2021 and visited the peak since May invited me. Since I’m not a very fit person and usually don’t do well on hikes, we decided to take the easy way by taking a shortcut via the escalators on the mid-levels. Along the way we passed by […]
K11 Musea
Over the weekend, May brought me to her favourite mall, K11 Musea. It is so stunning inside! I love that ball! Of course we had to take pictures with the dazzling Christmas trees in the middle. And the beautiful view is not just inside, but also outside the mall. After enjoying the view, we had […]
