How do you usually plan your holiday trip? I typically take a couple of months to plan a fulfilling vacation with meaningful activities and some empty pockets of time to roam the city. In that way, I can make the most out of the trip when I have a rough idea of what I would like to do. After all, wouldn’t you want to make your time worthwhile in a foreign land? For this Hong Kong trip, I tried my best to incorporate activities and attractions which both my partner and I will enjoy. I also set aside some free and easy time just in case we would like to…

What We Ate During Our 5-Day Hong Kong Trip
I thought I will end up disliking Hong Kong even more after this trip. But the unexpected happens. I ended up mesmerised by the dazzling neon lights and sky-high commercial buildings. The food in Hong Kong is equally amazing as well. Below is the list of food items which have ended up in our stomach and hopefully, have been burnt off. 1. Roasted Char Siu Rice from Hee Wan Roasted Kitchen I bought a food voucher from Klook which entitles me to purchase this plate of Roasted Char Siu (Pork) at a discounted price. You can choose between the roasted Duck rice and roasted Char Siu rice. I tried both…

Your Ultimate ‘Battle Plan’ to Conquer Hong Kong Disneyland in 1 Day
Even though it is my second time here in Hong Kong Disneyland, I am still in awe of this magical place. There are new attractions to be explored and delicious Disney-themed treats to try. Over the years, Hong Kong Disneyland has attracted an increasing number of visitors from all over the world. With a larger crowd, the atmosphere seems livelier. However, more visitors would also mean that the queue for each Disney ride will be longer. In fact, with the new attractions and rides, it will probably take up to 2 days to cover Hong Kong Disneyland. Unfortunately, I had only one day to explore Disneyland during my Hong Kong…

Having Dim Sum for Breakfast at a One-Michelin Star Restaurant in Hong Kong
Welcome to the land of Dim Sum Having dim sum is a must when you are in Hong Kong. This is a typical Cantonese cuisine where small servings of food are served in small steamer baskets or plates. It has been a tradition to pair Dim Sum with an endless flow of Chinese tea. Hence, the term ‘yum cha’ (飲茶) or drink tea is also commonly used in place of Dim Sum. We had our very first Dim Sum experience at The Golden Leaf in Conrad Hong Kong when we visited Hong Kong a couple of weeks ago. This restaurant was awarded one Michelin star in the Michelin Guide Hong…
