After checking live blogs online for blow by blow accounts of the fight, I learnt that Manny Pacquiao won by a technical knock-out on round 12. Yehey!

Lunch at H.K. Choi
H.K. Choi opened last October 13, 2009 at the Atrium of SM Megamall. I was excited to try this restaurant since it was being managed by Choi Garden.

Lunch at Caprice, Four Seasons Hotel
Caprice isn’t one of my “must eat” restaurants in Hong Kong. My previous meal there was very unsatisfactory.

There’s usually cruise ships berthed right outside but the day weContinue reading “Lunch at BLT Steak – Bistro Laurent Tourondel”
