NOT AN END!

Bonjourcris,


-

continue with our graphic discovery tour, this time we start from Sheung Wan to San Wan!
Foodies must need some great foodiii, nahh, actually this time we are really coming for Cafe deadend, we directly taxi up for our apple tart!

-



Today's choices: Dirty!; Spice Apple Tart; Banana Bostock

-
I am totally satisfied with my food trip today, a glass of surprisingly great coffee, and pastries! 
DIRTY! it is recommended by the chef, cold fresh milk with hot espresso, it definitely tastes great. It's so hard to describe how it actually is, but cold milk and hot espresso are just match right, a refreshing one!

And the one I long for it - spice apple tart, there are really layers of sweetened apples on the tart. Hot baked, and smells great! that is the best apple tart I have ever tried before! Not to forget to enjoy the tart with the cream aside, match perfect too!

Banana bostock is another recommended one! I love bananas but I seldom eat banana-made food. This bostock is great pastry, vraiment!!! Not too sweet and too heavy, but in super rich banana flavour, and it match perfect with the caramel syrup and almonds on top! Lucky, I didn't miss this :D

-

Charge up with good food, some exercises are needed hahaaa! Why not continue with our tour just right the way to San Wan! For more pics, still come to my Facebook album.





-

I remember places are just quite dirty this time, so many flies hahaa. But for sure, these can't stop us from taking photos with them. I do think this is great experience for me, at least I can proof that I am able to...... hahaaa i m kidding, I can hold it because I can do what I like!

-

I guess our trip has not come to an end......

still,
to be continued
yayy

G R A P H I C S !

Bonjourcris,



-

Welcome to discovery Hong Kong, how to spare your summer break unforgettably, have a holiday enriching, inspiring, exciting, rewarding, this and that, that and this hahaaaa!
Recently, I have found a street art guide from certain local culture site, it is totally for a fresher detector to trace them out hahaaa! What a nice day, sunshine good weather no rain! 

Get prepared with your phone with GPS, get set GOOOOO!

-

Today's Route: Tai Hang to Sheung Wan!

-

To start off our tour, we definitely needa charge up ourselves. I do think a good trip needs good food.
Tai Hang is a place hidden with lots of nice food that people seldom realise that, like I was. This time, Im going to try out their traditional japanese ramen! The shop is of the style, chef as well! I love the ramen texture, nice one. And the soup base is very rich too!



Station 1: Ramen Kureha  (拉麵來 ラーメン来)



-

sik bao bao, now let's go! I admit we didn't make a good plan, cus we taxi up to central hahaa

Station 2: Discovery Hong Kong
My route is like...... umm, hahaa random?! just a lil advice, not really, but a subjective opinion. Actually we are just doing this for fun, don't make it too serious or too eager to search out every spot, cus being random is much more fun and rewarding. Like you will see many other nice graphics out of expectation! So just feel free to walk around, see any corner you are interested in, snap everywhere. Pay attention to the surrounding not exactly to be super focusing, but just feel the atmosphere and feel what hong kong actually is :D

-

start at D'aguilar street, walk up stanley street, up to hollywood road, then walkkkkkk, we get lost hahaaa
be R A N D O M!

-
Our souvenirs!







-
For more street art photos, just check out my Facebook album :) 

-
btw, I do think it is definitely a healthy activity anyway. You need not breath in those exhausting air, and keep walking keep being fit, Exercise! what's more, you need not spend lots of money anyway!

-
One of the advantage is, when you feel tired you can ever find good food here, Sheung wan. There are lots of small unique cafe or food stores. Each of them has their own style, that perfectly meet my needs - somewhere comfy, somewhere special!

Station 3: Homei!
a beautiful cafe full of nice drawings, colourful and cheerful! 




Nice chill: Greentea Latte

-

ummm... yeaaa we need more! 
walking for hours under bright Mr. Sunny, sweat through, one cup of drink defin not enoughhhh!

-

Station 4: Cafe deadend
Originally we wish to have the apple tart, but then they're all sold out, what a pity. Must return for that, cus i urge to try it!!



-

Remembering the staff said, I have been taking photos here for many customers, this is the best spot i mean best angle for that. HAAHAA you sure? :P 
Charge up with a nice dessert - panna cotta and a cup of fresher! btw, though i can't really take the mint flavour, but this fresher is quite good and refreshing indeed!

Finally i understand why people love here, escape from the crowd, kinda feel the silence of a flourishing town. like you would listen what friends saying without asking them to shout out. hahaaa! really enjoy my trip here.

ALL WE NEED IS A BRUNCH!

Bonjourcris,



-

Good morning! it is hard to wake for a breakfast in a holiday.
then,
All yew need is a B R U N C H!

-

mind the people demonstrating along gloucester road or wherever,
we are out for a nice brunch in causeway bay.
I admit I am a maniac of all the breakfast, scramble eggs, beans, potatoes or like hash brown, smoked salmon, toast, and a nice cup of coffee!

-

Brunch Club and Supper
I always wish to try this out, why we need a shop specialised in serving brunch?


-

I do think it is a quite special restaurant, the deco is of old-fashioned style, a lil like village-style or vintage isn't it. a different comfy place for a brunch, but there are lots of people in the shop so a bit noisy for me.
well anyway, it's still ok. Brunch time, people wakes so more to say hahaa :D

-


Today's Brunch: Egg Benedict with Smoke Salmon; Iced Caramel Latte

-


Good egg benedict! creamy enough but I love the hash brown more hahaa! If this shop is just near home, that would be amazing. I will really try out their all day breakfast thingy next time cuz i was attracted by the egg benedict this time.

Ummm, the iced caramel latte, I guess the hot coffee would be better, I'm not sure. More coffee flavour i would prefer!

-

Another thing I like it, its the yellow P I A N O!
vintage style, i like it so much :)





-


nice brunch nice morning.
