18 Grams

With nothing better to do I sought out one of the better coffee places as listed on this site. I plan to check out all those places eventually but the closest to me was 18 Grams in Mongkok. I’ve been to this part of Mongkok once or twice before but I’ve never gone inside GalaContinue reading “18 Grams”

Dim Sum at Serenade Chinese Restaurant

A friend told me about Serenade Chinese Restaurant located at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Imagine I live a stone’s throw away and I never knew about it. Sure I’ve watched Mama Mia and Phantom of the Opera at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre but I didn’t know they had restaurants too. Just follow theContinue reading “Dim Sum at Serenade Chinese Restaurant”

Dinner at Guangdong Barbecue Restaurant

I did a post on the shops and restaurants I love in Hankow rd. in Tsim Sha Tsui. I have to add this restaurant that my friend Tisay recommended.

Caffe Habitu

When ever I go to Hong Kong it’s a frenetic haze of shopping and eating. I’m sure most Pinoys are the same way when they step into the shopping mecca that is Hong Kong. Sometimes it’s good to just slow down in the middle of the day for some good coffee and dessert. So that’sContinue reading “Caffe Habitu”

Empire City Roasted Duck

In Hong Kong there are more restaurants than you have days and stomachs to try them all. There are cuisines from around the world but naturally as a tourist you’d want to eat Chinese food. Filipinos have a penchant for Peking duck and I’ve discovered a restaurant in K11 mall that specializes in duck. AsContinue reading “Empire City Roasted Duck”

Cafe Gray Deluxe @ Upper House, Hong Kong

It’s unbelievable but after all those scones and cookies at our afternoon tea at JW Marriott we went to have coffee at Upper House, a luxury hotel which was in the next building. Tisay really wanted to show me the hotel’s coffee shop. I’ve seen pictures of Upper House and I really wanted to seeContinue reading “Cafe Gray Deluxe @ Upper House, Hong Kong”

Pacific Place Mall’s Restroom & Over the top iPhones & Accessories

After the super filling and yummy afternoon tea at JW Marriott Hong Kong I desperately needed to walk it off and Tisay suggested we go to Pacific Place mall which was connected to the hotel.

Lunch at Pak Loh Chiu Chow Restaurant

Pak Loh is another of my favorite restaurants in Hong Kong. What makes it different is they specialize in Chiu Chow cuisine instead of Cantonese cuisine which is widely available in Hong Kong. Chiuchow or Teochew cusisine (潮州菜) originates from the Chaoshan region of China in the north-easternmost area of the Guangdong province, which includesContinue reading “Lunch at Pak Loh Chiu Chow Restaurant”
