Queenstown, New Zealand. April 2015
Last week’s photo challenge was going to be of this picture, but then I thought better of it and decided to use this one instead. Since my arrival in HK nearly three weeks ago, I’ve been travelling around HK, to New Zealand, Macau, and now back in HK. All of life goes so fast and it’s hard to believe that I will soon be going home next week. Continue reading

I’ve been missing these awesome foodie nights. Thank you Jen for bringing them back! 🙂
Jen organized a night of Carribean and Chinese fusion eating at the restaurant called Patois. It is located by Dundas and Bathurst and easily accessible via the TTC. Continue reading
[Update July 2, 2018: I am so sad that this HK style cafe has closed. 😦 It’s replaced by a vegetarian hot pot restaurant.]
Located at 420 Hwy 7 in Richmond Hill
I’ve said this many times, but simple is best! Who knew that this little HK-style cafe embedded in the middle of the plaza where Omei and McDonald’s is would be so delicious!?
This restaurant, K&K Cafe Restaurant, didn’t even have a listing on urbanspoon until I posted it up and is definitely a restaurant that you would underestimate. Continue reading

After our Super Coring (now that they only occur every two weeks, it feels even more like a family reunion to dine with each other), we headed to Congee Queen at Centerpoint Mall for some good grub. Congee Queen is not located directly inside of the mall but at the outside so you can clearly see it if you are looking for parking. Continue reading

After we made a product run at the warehouse, we dropped by the infamous BriSkit place for some breakfast. For only $5 and change, you can get yourself a hearty Western breakfast. Continue reading
Busan National Geopark of Korea, November 2014
Ephemeral is defined as something that lasts a very short time. A good example of that to me is the peak of the beautiful autumn leaves on deciduous trees that change colour from lush green to shades of orange, red, yellow, and brown. Depending on the tree type and the proximity of the branches, the view can be absolutely stunning. Continue reading
Fancy breakfast at the Gold Pearl
I’m really milking these cruise blog posts by also blogging about the breakfast that I had at the Gold Pearl Restaurant on Carnival Splendor. We — or I should say “I” — only had one opportunity to eat here for breakfast in the morning out of all the days as we usually went straight to the buffet area for food because it was faster and we wanted to eat together as a team — especially at what we liked to call “9 and a half”. Continue reading
Gold Pearl Restaurant dining room — lower level
Day 5 of the dinner cruise was a bit lame because I literally sat by myself to eat. My dinner partner left me for probably some sleep and my “friends” to my left weren’t considerate enough to invite me over to sit or have someone sit with me so it wouldn’t appear so sad that I was dining alone. Eating by myself on a cruise ship during dinner was not one of my plans. Continue reading
First time in Honduras!
Who would have known that I’d be participating in mini excursions every day that we dock at a new country? I feel very fortunate to get to do this and also travel with so many like-minded individuals too.
Upon arriving in Mahogany Bay, Roatan, we were able to negotiate a good deal for the 20+ of us to ride round-trip to West Bay for just USD $10. Continue reading

It’s funny that I’ve been to Ikea many times and have tried their frozen yogurt and cinnamon rolls and delicious salmon and broccoli cakes but have yet to take advantage of their $1 breakfasts. Juliana, Marwan, and I had breakfast here on a Sunday morning. Continue reading
