Xscaper Arts — escape room game [Defunct]

Located at 150 Main Street, Side Entrance in Unionville

Room escape games! ❤  Yesterday, I had the privilege of playing at Xscaper Arts yesterday with some friends.  Xscaper Arts opened up in June of this year and is a live escape room game.  These have been super popular ever since ESC-IT first launched in Toronto earlier this year and since then, multitudes of copycat and related escape room games have been born.   Continue reading

Located at Shop 6 & 9-10, Siu Yat Bldg, 9 Sai Kung Hoi Pong Sq, Sai Kung District in Hong Kong

Sai Kung.  A place to enjoy the nice boardwalk at the harbour and a fabulous seafood meal.  A visit to HK is never complete without a stop in Sai Kung for its famous seaside seafood made fresh in one of the boardwalk restaurants.   Continue reading

MyungDongOk Korean Restaurant 明洞屋 (Hong Kong)

Located at Shop B, South East Mansion, 75-77 Kimberley Road , Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong

It’s funny how we decided to go for Korean food just days before our trip to South Korea.  We went to MyungDongOk Korean Restaurant for dinner, a restaurant that I’ve been to the last time I was in HK.  I would have opted for a new Korean restaurant as always, but when you have a big group, you have to go with the flow.   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Converge

Taken in Lisboa, Portugal.  November 2014

Every week, I try to find the perfect picture for the weekly photo challenge.  Sometimes I succeed immediately, finding both the perfect picture that fits the theme and also a cute story that goes with it.  Sometimes I take up to an hour going through my photos and choosing between several since they don’t exactly show what I think the theme is talking about.   Continue reading

Chao Yang Chinese Cuisine 朝陽飯莊 (Hong Kong)

Located at 27/F, Shop 1, iSquare, Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong

Ah, Chao Yang Chinese Cuisine.  The last time we were in Hong Kong, we went to this restaurant to eat as well.  It’s located in iSquare in Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong on the 27th floor which means that it overlooks some amazing views in Hong Kong.  We didn’t sit near the windows this time so I didn’t get a shot of the view but you feel pretty good to have nice (Northern) Chinese food at this place!   Continue reading

海皇粥店 Ocean Empire (Hong Kong)

Located in Sha Tin in Hong Kong

Remember when I said that simple is much needed and desired every so often?  After we came back from our Eurotrip, we wanted something hydrating and simple.  So we searched out a congee shop and found this one!  Apparently Ocean Empire has locations all over HK and is a clean, fast-food-like, chain restaurant that specializes in congee.   Continue reading

Viet’s Choice (Hong Kong)

Located at Shop 111, 1/F, Citylink Plaza, 1 Sha Tin Station Circuit, Sha Tin in Hong Kong

Sometimes, the design and architecture of a restaurant really draws you in.  For example, this restaurant called Viet’s Choice located at the Sha Tin plaza was made to look like a Vietnamese neighbourhood complete with street signs, courtyard, and paintings.  It was really cool!  For that reason, we ended up having a late lunch here.   Continue reading

Alaskan King Crab Legs & Hairy Crabs part 2 at VHR

Located at Shop 101-102, 2/F, Uptown Plaza, 9 Nam Wan Road, Tai Po in Hong Kong

Remember last year in March (I still can’t believe it’s only been a little more than a year) when I blogged about going to this restaurant to have these amazing long Alaskan king crab legs for dinner with all of those pictures of endless crab legs for day? (Ate them in March but blogged about later in the year).  Well, during this year’s visit in HK, we went back for them again.   Continue reading

Back in Toronto! pt 2

Autumn trip 2014

Stop!  Reflection time!  The reason I started this very blog was only a little more than a year ago in March of 2013.  See the post here.  I remember flying back from my Asia trip and into Toronto and starting my blog the day afterwards.  I wanted a place to document my thoughts, pictures, and adventures but didn’t want to just shove a bunch of pictures onto the servers of Facebook anymore.   Continue reading

Parkview Restaurant (Hong Kong)

Located at Shop 117, 1/F, New Town Plaza Phase 1, 18 Sha Tin Centre Street in Sha Tin, Hong Kong

For lunch, we had quasi-Italian food at a classy-looking restaurant called Parkview Restaurant in the Sha Tin New Town Plaza.  I call it quasi because you know it’s not truly authentic but it is definitely in the realm of Italian food.   Continue reading
