Photos from Hong Kong (Part 2)

September 7th, 2011 § 8 comments § permalink

Final set of photos from Hong Kong :) I’ve had such a blast sharing photos from my life in Hong Kong that I think it’s something I’d like to continue to do from here on in, should I be lame and maybe call them “Tell me a Fable”? a line from one of my favourite songs by Robert Miles – Fables where I share snippets of my life through imagery and storytelling?

Something to consider, and it would help give a more personal twist to my blog, which is something I’ve been keen to do for some time now. As much as I enjoy pumping out product reviews for you all, I think if I can throw in my own twist to beauty and fashion, it’ll make for a more interesting blog! Let me know what you think :)

On to photos!

If you’re a foodie, you may have heard of the world’s cheapest Michelin rated restaurant in the world, a little Yum Cha shop called Tim Ho Wan located in East Mongkok.

The place opens at 10am, we got there at 9:20am to a decent line of people, and had to wait a further 2-3 hrs before we were seated.

At which point we were starving and proceeded to order everything in sight. Despite there being 6 of us, and probably order enough food for 10+ people, the bill still only came out to around $8-9AU per person, crazy! And the food wasn’t half bad either! :D (But not worth waiting in the humidity for 3 hrs for, still an experience is an experience)

Before my stay was up, my friends insisted we have breakfast at least once at Café de Coral, it’s like Asian Maccas, fast food Asian food.

All this for a few Australian dollars if even that! I think this trip has officially made me addicted to Turnip cake now… :9

Obligatory bathroom shot, class all the way though, probably the most expensive “public” toilet I’ve ever been in at the W Hotel in Kowloon.

View of Hong Kong Island from W Hotel.

We all decided to have dinner as this “Australian” resturant called Wooloomooloo, the food (despite reviews on Open Rice) was actually really good! And the view was pretty incredible as well~

Best prawn dish ever :9

Steak for everyone! (I was craving it!!… plus I’m a geek, but check out way the buns were lit! :O Glowy!)

Game face ON!! I grabbed a couple of colours from Makeup Forever for a Book of Fables I wanted to film :D Hopefully I’ll upload soon!

And that’s it everyone~~ My life in Melbourne isn’t half that interesting, but we’ll see what photos and tales I can tell :)

Photos from Hong Kong (Part 1)

September 6th, 2011 § 8 comments § permalink

You may have noticed I skipped a week of posting photos from Hong Kong, that’s not because I had nothing to show, far from it! More like I was too busy finishing up my final week to sit down in the evenings to edit photos…. okay I was going out every night instead, hanging out with co-workers & friends etc, I know shocking right? What kind of a blogger am I!? Going out and socialising with physical human beings, it’s appalling! I’m truly sorry for the slip up and will do my best to uphold the stereotype of a recluse blogger :)

BUT that means I’ve got two posts worth of photos and decided to split them over the course of two days :D

My team took me out for drinks on my last Friday night in Hong Kong :D It was a really nice place too, awesome view! :O Like in the movies!

Boss-chan wanted to take me and a co-worker out for the night, so on the Star Ferry we go…

And in Lan Kwai Fong we arrive! A popular drinking / clubbing / expat area of Hong Kong in Central!

Wheee~~~~

Sooo crowded and humid X_x;!

First stop is Al’s Diner, who played some really old songs that made me feel very young (because I had no idea what the songs were) :x

Jello Shots for only $5-$6AU a pop, I took two of these, and mind you, they tasted AWFUL! >_< But it only took two to get me rather tipsy! I'm a cheap drunk :x

But the rest powered on through Jägerbombs and Beer O_o

Phew, exhausted, itchy (allergic reaction to alcohol) and rather tipsy X_x;

The very next morning Toby arrived! And this is pretty much how we spent most of the day, him taking photos of stuff as I stood behind and looked bored… or took photos of him :3

World’s longest escalator!!… so very lacklustre :/

Cookies and Cream ice cream :9 Omgosh I could go for some now :(

Stay tuned for part two tomorrow!

Where Am I?
