may - hong kong
its summer now!
i had my hair cut short by my hair stylist. he wanted to change my hair to korean-japanese cute style... pls comment!
just came back 1 week ago
was down with flu for a week! sore throat during the trip... =(
the trip was about food & shoppings!
hehe.....
of course the main reason was for boo's bday!
had a little gathering with my uni-mates
i chose shanghai restaurant, 小南國 Shanghai Xiao Nan Guo Cuisine @ central
was good! topped it off with mandarin oriential double chocolate milk cake!
heavenly good and satisfied with the meal XD
i'm still missing the cake now! was the one of the best choco cake i had. highly recommended...
the price was reasonable for 500g which i feel just right portion for cravings
met with my hun, karen!
we had fun shoppings and exploring food together!
started our trip with english breakfast....
i was complaining to k about how desperately i was cravings for english breakfast
egg benedict, scramble eggs, big breakfast, etc....
*saliva drippings*
18 Grams @ cwb
the restaurant was small, only able to occupied around 20 persons
love the coffee froth designs
i'm missing caffe mocha (teddy bear design) i had
they mixed 5 types of coffee beans... the bitterness was just right
the taste of coffee and chocolate blend was right blend for me
i'd say its one of the best cup of mocha i had
went to fine dining at Petrus @ Shangri-La
the waiters were friendly, deco was classic & sophisticated, food was well served
not forgetting to mention the marvelous sea-view that my hun specially requested when booking
we loitered around Landmark & IFC mall
legs were tired and mouth start to itch... hehe...
our next stop was LGB at IFC Mall!
places were quite limited, and cakes were delicate
the cake wasnt that great though (their specialty was macarons... lol)
i kept my stomach for veros chocolate! hehe...
walked to Landmark to try square macarons!
k love took 2 days off to accompany me
loveeee
i requested to visit heritage 1881
shopped at Harbour city...
so mouth start to itch again! haha...
to satisfy our cravings we headed to mandarin oriental for afternoon tea
ordered a set tea for 2
was super full... couldnt finish them =(
we were served 2 scones (original + raisins) with clotted cream and strawberry rose jam
the rose jam was great... the rose scent mix strawberry combination was really good
*thumbs up for the jam*
my comment for the cappuccino was nothing special
if you need high tea guide click *here*
had another gathering with boo's bestie and his gf
i love geoduck! haha....
he was complaining that i always fancy expensive food & desserts.. lol
we went seafooddddd.....
we had second bday cake
its Devil's chocolate cake from maxim's
(recommended by his friend-supposed to order awfully chocolate)
the taste was better than i expected. lol
the chocolate flakes toppings blend well with sweetness of the cake
worth trying!
*tada*
my stomach is big and expanded! hoho....
other food that i had!
boo accompanied me exploring for food list that i requested... hehe
went Mong Kok and i love this shanghai snack food
the chef, oscar was macho! lol
this shop was recommended by CNN *here*! also visited Butao Ramen @ central...
you do needa queue to indulge this ramen. its tasty and smelled good
(though not as good as the one i had in harajuku, jpn!!!)
like the menu side dishes which varies every day!
