September 25, 2017: Today, we went to the ubiquitous Pizza Express restaurant for lunch in Shatin. They have many branches all over Hong Kong including the airport too. I’ve also passed by this branch before but never tried it.
We were there around 1 o’clock for their lunch set special. It included a small appetizer, main, and Continue reading
Glorious Cuisine located at G/F, 31-33 Shek Kip Mei Street, Sham Shui Po in Hong Kong
September 24, 2017:
For dinner, we went to Glorious Cuisine (增煇大排檔 & 增煇藝廚) with our travel buddies. I originally thought this was a legitimate dai pai dong restaurant since their Chinese name had the words “大排檔” in it. Alas, I was disappointed when we arrived and I found out that it was actually more of a typical Chinese restaurant. I believe they used to operate as a traditional dai pai dong but has since adapted with the modern times to become a sit-down Continue reading
Gardens by the Bay, Singapore. March 2013
This was one of the coolest pedestrian bridges I’ve ever been on! It is the Gardens by the Bay attraction in Singapore where you walk above the ground in these huge Supertrees that look so futuristic and cool! Other than walking pedestrians, you don’t have to worry about cars or any other vehicle on this type of elevated walkway.
As for this week’s intended theme, this bridge is actually Continue reading
New reporting location
I’ve passed by this building many, many times but this was the first time I got to report in one of the firms on the upper floors!
It was really posh inside and the conference room itself even had an entire coffee and tea station, hot water, cute little squares of sliced lemon, juice, soda, Continue reading
Chrisly Cafe located in 107 Sai Yeung Choi St S, Mong Kok in Hong Kong
September 24, 2017: We returned today to Chrisly Cafe/Capital Cafe (華星冰室) to try out their signature items. When we were here two weeks ago , we used the free hotel vouchers to redeem their standard breakfast and lunch sets. This time, I wanted to try the popular items that made them famous.
We arrived at around 1 p.m. and Continue reading
Chin Yip Ramen located at Shop 3110, 3/F, Lok Fu Place, 198 Junction Road, Lok Fu in Hong Kong
September 23, 2017: For dinner at night, I took advantage of an afternoon tea special that I happened to glance at and which struck itself in my memory banks.
We were passing by this restaurant, Chin Yip Ramen (千葉拉麵), when I spotted their propped up menu which loudly displayed their Afternoon Tea special. It was just $38 HKD for a bowl of ramen plus a Continue reading
Chong Hing Square, 601 Nathan Road, Mong Kok in Hong Kong
September 23, 2017: For lunch today, we went to Shark Fin’s Restaurant in Mongkok for a really good and cost efficient lunch! My mom found this gem of a restaurant through OpenRice. 😀
It was literally called 魚翅大排檔 (“shark fin dai pai dong”) in Chinese, but when we got there, it wasn’t a traditional dai pai dong restaurant located outside at all. Instead, it was a restaurant that had decor elements of a traditional Chinese restaurant and feel of a Continue reading
康瑞甜品 located at 323 Lai Chi Kok Rd, Sham Shui Po in Hong Kong
September 22, 2017: After a really good dinner at a nearby dai pai dong, Willa brought us to 康瑞甜品, a popular dessert place for Taiwanese desserts. 康瑞甜品 started off as a small dessert stall but due to their popularity and delicious desserts, they grew into the present restaurant.
As we approached the restaurant, we could already see the line-up of Continue reading

September 22, 2017:
For an impromptu dinner meetup, my mom and I had dinner with Willa in the Sham Shui Po area. She recommended a good dai pai dong restaurant called 愛文生大排檔 (Oi Man Sang) for us. It was funny because I had actually seen this restaurant pop up as one of the top dai pai dongs on OpenRice too. Yay that it was the Continue reading
