Hong Kong for first timers
10 Apr
Yes the same shot of Hong Kong you see in every Hollywood movie featuring the city
They say – a minute in New York is a second in Hong Kong. And I could why. My first trip to HongKong was nothing short of spectacular. The glamorous billboards and ubiquitous skyscrapers, glitzy pubs and cafes of Lan Kwai Fong, the melt in the mouth din sums, the nostalgia inducing boat rides at Victoria Terminus…
Walking the streets endlessly for hours watching locals and ex pats going about their business never felt so good.
But what I loved most about Hong Kong is the vibe — throbbing and pulsating with energy. For someone who loves the city life, it’s infectious and addictive.
Hop on board the Star Ferry
To get an up close look at life in the charming city, hop on board the Star Ferry. For just 3HKD you will be treated to one of the most scenic boat rides in the world. The boat ferries passengers from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon and back.
The Victoria Harbour also happens to the most photographed harbours in the world. So be armed with your cameras. The best time to ride it is in the evenings.
The Mid-Level escalator in Hong Kong
It’s quite astonishing to find an escalator (the world’s longest outdoor covered escalator) cutting through the hustle bustle of the city. The Life spills over on to the streets on both sides of the 2624 ft escalator. They only move in one direction, and go with rush hour — in the mornings they go down, and in the evenings they go up. It’s not only a touristy must-do, but very practical too.
The night is always young at Lan Kwai Fong – the party district of Hong Kong
Lan Kwai Fong is where you head to paint the town red. The atmosphere saddles from stylish wine clubs, sedate cafes and raucous sports bars. The area comes alive at night when the action spills on to the streets. Even if you are not a party animal, LKF is a great place for people watching.
Strolling along Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade is one of the best ways to see the beautiful views of the Hong Kong skyline and bustling Victoria Harbour.
This amazing city is a melting pot of food, culture and fun just waiting to be discovered.
Desi Deli brunch with Maria Goretti
21 Feb
I love a good brunch. Who doesn’t? The playful dance between breakfast and lunch, sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week and allows you to lull around in bed for hours after waking and still get all your favourite breakfast foods. It’s also a great reward to a good workout. Nothing like working up a good sweat and then eating some good food.
But what makes brunch at one of your favourite restaurants even better is when it’s a co-creation between the chef and a well-known foodie and celebrity. The Desi Deli Sunday brunch is one such delight.
