F R E S H Y EXPLORER - Central

Bonjourcris,

-

semester ends, food trip starts!

instagram is definitely a good platform promoting new foodspot.

You can even discover new and special foodspot to try out

-

Seeing lots of people coming over this cafe, or perhaps tea shop, I guess i should not miss it.

-

Today's choices: Scrambled eggs and ham on toast; Green tea cheesecake

-

I don't get used to come up here, so here is a lil bit new to me.

love the environment here, though there are no mall no fabulous boutiques,

i totally love the places here.

-

 |Central | Sheung Wan | Sai Wan |

I am sure I am going to discover more about them.

Newbie searcher, nahhh, exploring fresher! yes sir :D

Today, I have been to TEAKHA. I really like the shop's environment, tiny but comfy.

if i can, i would love to spare my whole afternoon here

with nice tea and cool breeze, enjoy the silence with a magazine and some songs.

defin a good choice - that's what i suppose leisure to be!

-

I do think my scrambled eggs toast is good! like it a lil bit expensive than it worths but i still love it, egg is good! and like many people recommend, the green tea cheese cake, I'm a lil disappointed with it, i think that's not i expect it should be, not really green tea indeed. But I do agree it looks nice and photo FIRST hahaa

-

The highlighted thing: T E A!

teakha is famous for its tea, never should we miss that.

rich and smooth milk tea with different tea base.

Smells really awesome, and definitely tastes perfect :D

-

 Today's tea: Masala Chai and Keemun Milk Tea

-

Masala Chai - milk tea boiled with indian herbs, i am not quite sure, as i am just interpreting everything from its chinese name. A rich tea flavour, and smooth! 

Keemun Milk Tea - I do think it has stronger milk flavour than the previous one, but it is very smooth and quite alike with the cha chan teng's!

-

Coming up, walking down!

 Central maybe i should say I'm in Sheung Wan right now. It is a lil upper than I guess Im on the map loll

-

I would really spare my whole day here, i mean on the upper side.

whyyy?

cus i found my favourite thing! street art!

like I has always been in love with local art, like wall art, and some special graphics on the street!

I know I'm a newbie to it, like everyone has known about them and has been taking photo and analysing them all the time, I guess it's not late for me to start now. yeahhh! wait for meee :D

-

-

so many to discover.

I can foresee my whole S U M M E R break would be with 

here!

hahaaaa :D i think i will like it

so do you?

BREAK THE HEARSAY

Bonjourcris,

-

Tonight's dishes: Guinness Pie, Palma Ham Pizza,  Spagehetti topped with Meatballs baked in Cheesy Tomatoes Sauce

 People often say, we can hardly make good friends in class in the university. But I guess, we have broken this hearsay. I am so happy to meet these new friends whom I knew from my language course in university. We have been working out many projects and assignments together. And for sure, those common points we discovered through chats are the mainpoint linking us up!

-

Tonight has been wonderful, we dinner at Bricklane Gallery, I regret for forgetting to take photos of the restaurant, as those paintings and decorations are really nice. And food is good too, we have had a Guinness Pie, a pizza and a pasta. I really would love to come again for another meal, and trying out their big breakfast and egg dishes.

ONCE IN LIFE

Bonjourcris,

-

Today's Lunch: Cotton Candy with Espresso

hello, feel the hot air? 

Once in my life, we should never hide our passion to craze our prime up. I crave to visit Coffee Alley for long, people around ever told me how long they had lined up for it. And checking in on their instaG with mouthwatering waffles, whatever. 

Alright, come to my story. We got there at 12.00nn sharp, while there has been a long queue right around the corner, so definitely I missed the first round. I have been waiting to get in for a total of 1.5 hours in the hot and stuffy staircase, frankly speaking, I think that's okay at least I waited less than my friend who told me 2 hours. Looking around the people waiting, obviously the average ages would not exceed 25, yea, prime.

We have ordered three signature dishes and two cup of coffee. I am definitely coming for the cotton candy dessert, and others would be a bonus to me. Anyway, it is really cute and cool. All the way you pour the espresso on it, it melts, and that's interesting!

We had the Loin Cheese croissants and Salted Caramel waffles as well, and I love them too, especially the croissants. They are stuffed with lots of hams veggies corns cheese tomatoes, that's awesome!

Coffee Alley, I should not miss coffee right. We have had Coffee Latte and White Chocolate Mocha. I am not an expert of coffee, but anyway, I just feel it is a lil bitter than those I used to have.

 Today's Lunch: Salty Caramel and Vanilla Ice Cream Waffles, Loin Cheese Croissants Sandwiches

Today's Coffee: Coffee Latte (with a Brown Sugar Stick), White Chocolate Mocha

  

-

After our big Taiwanese meal, we met Totoro at Harbour City. And did some photoshoots with it for sure. To record our prime at any moment, capture all precious moments in life.

once in life, cherish our prime!

Today's Lunch: Banana Pancakes with Ice-cream

-

It's another rainy afternoon, my randomness takes me a great date of myself today. Partly, I should thank my luck, if I didn't get on the bus that I rarely took, I wouldn't have such a great walk in Causeway Bay. Hahaaaa, how was it?

When I saw the 108 bus coming, I just spontaneously got on the bus. I decided to get off anywhere that the station name I have heard of it. And guess what, ehh, I will tell ya. I saw Cafe Matchbox, which I long to try it but I have no idea how to get there, and so,

I am luckyyyyyyy!!!!

I have tried their signature banana pancakes with walnut, it feels like everyone is jealous on me when seeing my food, because I am ordering the right thing!

- 

And coming to my next station, for sure, I have no idea. Just wish to walk around Causeway Bay, or to shop around. And my second luck of the day, I found Marimekko right at the corner of the street. Just simply shop a little in it, I got their signature cup as my souvenir.

LUCKY. Bises,

NEI HO.

Bonjourcris,

-

Pre-celebrating our papa's day with my family. Sneaking out from the bustling life, we are having a great high-tea in cafe landmark. It was awesome, as this should be the first time I went for high tea with my dad, normally we love tea in cha chaan taan or wherever else. 

-


then,

we went home by the star ferry that i haven't taken that for like years, I miss the sea breeze and the traditional ferry very much. I indeed feel like myself was a tourist of Hong Kong. 

"Nei Ho Ma Heung Kong?"

FAST - SLOW

Bonjourcris, 

-

my lunch: Mana! Love (flatbread with grilled haloumi, veggies and rockets) and Sun Juice (apple, carrot and ginger)

Walking way up Wellington Street alone, on a rainy afternoon, just wish to try out some good food. I have been searching the web for like weeks for some new things, yes and I got Mana! Fast Slow Food right in my list. I really expect to enjoy my nice afternoon in Mana!, but Mana! was crowded with many people, and I get it, FAST SLOW FOOD, ahhaaa interesting! 

Anyways,

I do have a nice time in this little shop, and the shopkeepers are so lovely.
