Updates of Hong Kong (delayed reporting)

So there I was in HK, bored with nothing to do except shopping and eating during Christmas 2009-New Years 2010. Some highlights of the trip:

1. BBQ at Howard's. It was Poh's bday (New Year's baby!). We were 2 minutes away from the celebrities at Olympic Mall (or some sort) and didn't even bother to join the crowd. Nice little BBQ pit flown in from Brunei! There was also a very yummy chocolate cake to die for... Yum.... And a multi-million apartment. Freaking expensive place to stay, HK.

2. Desserts at The Sweet Dynasty. "Hui Lai Shan" is outdated :P They have an extensive range of hot, cold desserts and snacks. I love their tao fu fa, it comes in a wooden tub and serves 4-5 person!

3. Agnes B "Make a Wish" campaign 2009. Basically you pay HKD250 for a goodie bag and they donate the money to children in need as a Christmas Cheer.

4. Chestnut cake. Eric & SC bought for me to try, knowing I'm a chestnut lover. Apparently it's a popular cake flavour in HK! Now it's certainly my first time coming across a chestnut mousse cake.

5. Discovering an organic food cafe/restaurant in Lai Chi Kok. It's on the 4th floor with no signage. How do people know? Well I found it from a website that reviews all types of cuisine in all districts of HK. Photos are in my blackberry, no chance to upload them to personal computer yet.

6. Seeing the queue outside GUCCI & LV in TST. It's like GSC movie line on friday nights! Crazy!

7. Failure to get AVATAR movie tickets on 2 separate nights unless we were up for 3am slots.

8. Trip to Shenzhen via MTR. It's about 45 minutes, very convenient.

9. Wholesale market in Lai Chi Kok. Again photos are in blackberry. (Uploaded my photos from BB!) I took photos of the entrance and address so that you will know where to go. It's fashion mecca for the fast fashion items and most ppl from around the region (SEA) come here to buy stock to bring back home. Think Cats Whiskers and all other individual boutiques sprouting around KL/Bangsar/Kota Damansara. Some stalls only entertain wholesale selling, some do retail. Go mad shopping!

10. Lastly, looking at the building below you would think it's really a slump area. But instead, it is where uniqbe is and rental is RM6k plus for 600 sq feet of space.
