I can never, EVER get tired of good ‘ol Hong Kong!  nb. please view with Internet Explorer.

P1000575

On the way up to The Peak Tram. HK has excellent collections of skyscrapers.

P1000576

Passing Citibank. Can’t really see it from this angle. 

P1000577

And no, I’m not a Christian. I just took it for … well for fun and of course its architecture. :p

P1000578

I really think that they could have done a better job with the design. A bit bland innit ….

P1000585  Tram on the way up to Victoria Peak. Reminds me of the tram up to Penang Hill. OK OK, the tram to Pg Hill is a lot smaller.

P1000579

And no, I’m not a fan of Jackie Chan. He just happened to be outside Madam Tussauds.

P1000599

The view at Victoria Peak. There’s mainland across the sea i.e. New Territories. I think. *grins sheepishly*

P1000611

The view point.  A rather small Oriental gazebo.

P1000612

Lurveee the bamboooossssss.

P1000614

Sweeping wind. Brings a cool breeze against your skin. Nice!

P1000618

Cute little cottage housing a restaurant. Didn’t get the name though. 

P1000625

Escalating feature within the tram station at the Peak. 

P1000654

Posh and classy cafe at …. err … think it was at The Landmark. Anyway it’s opposite TOD’S. They have excellent high tea.

P1000665

WAN TAN MEEE!!!!! I would go back anytime, just for this!

I have always been a fan of Hong Kong. But I haven’t been there for over a year and when it was finally time to visit again, I was ecstatic. And notwithstanding the rain, I had a great time! Actually, I think the rain was an amelioration as it got rid of the polluted air. Surely, it is a little hassle to carry an umbrella with you but I think that’s better than breathing the hot and humid polluted air during the warm season in Hong Kong. I’ve only been back a day or two and I’m already missing HK …especially the ‘wan tan mee’ (as pictured above). It is HONESTLY so darn good. The steamed ‘kai lan’ vegetable with oyster sauce are top notch too. I had this everyday … ok maybe not everyday. Should anyone fancy a good French meal, I’d definitely recommend Chez Patrick on Sun Street off Queen’s Road East. Nearest MTR station would be Admiralty. Exit the main entrance from Pacific Place and then turn right. More information is obtainable at www.chezpatrick.hk. The foie gras and desert are quite delicious. For Japanese, there is only one place and it is definitely NOBU at Inter-Continental Hotel. Hope to go HK again in the future.

That’s all for now FOLKS!

CONT'D FR. PREVIOUS POST: EATING


Sheryl and I met at OU. There's this place called the Garden. It's located right behind the escalator, next to Reebok/Nike outlet at Lower Ground Level. The concept of Garden is of English cafe, with lots of wheelbarrow, lavender and what nots other flowers for deco. The funitures are all in white which is surrounded with lots of greenery. Perhaps even close to Garden of Eden. Though the deco was pretty, I'm sorry to say the food was mediocre. It really is just a place to meet up for drinks. If you want real good food, go elsewhere. We didn't stay there very long for it was off to shopping thereafter!







What I've been up to .... nothing much really. Except that I've been eating lots. I'm so gonna get fat, I tell you. Probably already am. Anyways. This pic was taken at the Italian restaurant, Cipolla located at Bangsar Telawi. My cuz, Su Lin just moved down to KL in early April and we made a 'date' to meet up over dinner. That's the change from the bill which I'm holding. My cuz was super fast with her hands ... I didn't even had the chance to put it away yet. Haha! She'll make a good photographer.

I always take my friends to Cipolla. Their pasta and wines are excellent commingled with the arcadian Venetian deco and an ambience that a 'boudoir' has, it's always an ideal place to dine and relax. So far, they all loved it. My favourite is the Pasta Linguine and sauvignan blanc. I've been meaning to take Sheryl there numerous times, but so far our schedule hasn't synchronise ... yet. Sheryl, one day k ...
Next rest. to sample: Nero Fico.
