Sometimes HK is beautiful

It has been quite hot and stuffy to go out during day time this summer (sometimes I wonder if human can live on this planet in coming 10 years at all as the ozone layer has been destroyed so bad and UV level getting higher and higher), so i rarely go out before 4pm. Today is really an exceptional as the Hong Kong Arts Museum is having Ju-Ming's (famous sculpture artist from Taiwan) exhibition which gonna finish very soon, that's the reason I have gone out to the "desert" for a walk! On my return back to the HK side, I chose to ride the Star Ferry rather than MTR as it seems very nice view though the sun still very bright at 4:30pm...as my friend said grab the chance to look at the view while it's still there, you never know when it's got destroyed or something, this is very true indeed....Live the Moment, Enjoy the Moment!! ;)

I LOVE SEOUL

Since not able to go to Tokyo, I've started explore new opportunities on earth. I started to travel to Seoul instead. Interesting part is I have encountered many queries of "Why you'll love to go to Seoul?", then I started to wonder what's wrong with Seoul? Has it been very bad place or something? Guess there are always preferences to everyone to certain places, some might like to go to Paris, London or whatever I don't comment, and I always try to respect other people's preferences. So anyway I LOVE SEOUL at this moment, it is a statement!

I saw this tee this time at Seoul and burst out laughing right away!!! I like them always coming up with funny witty slogan tee and made me burst out laughing. I just love their sense of humor so deep down I think they are funny people with non-rigid mind. "GOD is My Agency" this is so true in a way. God will line things up for you I do believe. I like the energy at Seoul, it seems like the things, food and people there can help release more "endorphin" into my system and make me feeling so excited! Let me post more about their food in upcoming posts :)

Macau is amazing --> Kafka

Being sent to Macau for 2 months work, 2 nites here everyday and I think I should make good use of this chance to eat around! A friend who living here has told me about a dessert place where the cakes/pasterrie always sold out quickly, so I researched and found it's actually very close to work my work place. The name of this place is KAFKA. They named it as this coz the shop is located on Plague Street, so they relate this to Kafka, the famous writer from Plague in 1930s immediately!

The owner of this place have super passion with desserts! She is also the the pastry chef of Kafka who went to Cordon Bleu Paris for professional training for 2 yrs. Every piece of dessert has been handmade with passion, so there are only limited supply everyday. Usually sold out by 4pm. So you better action quick!!!

Today I made my way there at lunch and saw this cake display full of her products!!! I like the way they name the cake, like a poem! I had picked the Tai Mahal dome cake, which is a mix taste of caramal and earl grey tea! The coffee they made is also a highlight I should mention! It really taste very different!!! I had this caramal latte and the coffee smells good and taste smooth! I should make a trip back there again before my job finishes!!!

Modern Oxford by Opening Ceremony

It was 2007 when i saw this pair of modern oxford. I really felt excited and decided to go for it without 2nd thought (if they have my size)! It's totally special to me at that time, and I really wanna said thank you to the shoe buyer of that shop as he/she really had vision and taste!!! I hope he/she is doing well in his/her career and bringing us Hong Kong people more interesting shoes =D

Backstage is always more interesting than the real show (for me) =P

really like the rhythm when everyone is busy running around for the 20mins show, a lot of beautiful things will happen within this short period of time, creative mind hard-working!!!

This is really interesting...the making of a ball dress

...it's not easy at all, esp it's stitch by stitch handmade. Pls do respect designers as they bring beauty to life...to the world.

Madam Sixty Ate: a place for gastronomic narrative edible art!!!

Madam Sixty Ate, I have googled that it is a "Wanchai Whimsy"! It's a place making gastronomic narrative edible art! Actually it has been awhile I have been to this witty place. When I first stepped into Madam Sixty Ate, there is this library bar in front of me. I like the yellow arm seat very much, I wish I can have one at home!!! The whole setting of this bar/lounge is very ideal for a living room, cozy and chic! A perfect place for chill out after work!

The owner seems to be a witty person! From the paintings on the wall; to the design of the menu, I think the owner has really good sense of humor and these all gave me a grin on the face!

The bread is being homemade everyday, you can see the chef making the dough at the front counter, and then after awhile, fresh bakery smell pop out and there you go! They are ready!

Why i take a close up with a piece of normal bread? Actually am taking foto of the butter! It looks so common but actually it has a complicated taste...butter with a bit of garlic taste?! I wish I can finish the whole thing (yes the butter).

While I was waiting for my friends, I decided to order a glass of cocktail ( I really drink alcohol in early afternoon but the atmosphere is so relaxing that I think I should celebrate that I'm still breathing on that peaceful Saturday afternoon, and feeling grateful that such a restaurant has been arranged to be landed onto the earth!

The presentation of this "new age" food is really appetizing! the sauce (that patch of yellowish green thing) taste so light and it merged very well with the smoked salmon.

My friend had the pork belly, she told me that it tasted very light and cripsy (I should have asked her for a little bit to feel it!)

And then i went there again another time for lunch with another friend, we both ordered the steak sandwich and the cripsy onion ring has been really well done! Texture of the steak is soft, just that it's a bit big portion that I couldnt finish it all by myself (I feel so guilty for this!)

The dessert that one cant miss out! Actually when looking back at this foto, I have a thought of going back there tmr for this pancakes!!! All the above was my experience during brunch/lunch at Madam Sixty Ate so far. There dinner menu is also quite interesting! It's also a good place for drink at night outside at the balcony.
