Located in the New Territories, Tseung Kwan O might be Hong Kong’s most family and pet-friendly neighborhood. With a waterfront promenade, separate dog parks for small and large dogs, wide sidewalks for strollers, and so much pet-friendly dining and shopping, it’s a great spot for a daytime outing with the whole family. I’ve been frequenting …
After living in Hong Kong for over 8 years, I’ve made it my duty to show visitors why I fell in love with this city. Hong Kong is so dynamic and vibrant with its mix of culture, dining, and nature, but when you add large-scale events like Art Basel, Hong Kong Sevens rugby tournament, and …
I made the Sailor Moon-inspired baby shower of my dreams a reality! I know that most people let their friends plan their baby shower, but since it was also my birthday party and I’ve been in a major creative and planning mode throughout my pregnancy, I wanted to control every single detail 😂 Thankfully my …
The charming seaside town of Sai Kung offers Hong Kong’s best hiking and nature activities, which are sure to kick up an appetite. Luckily, it’s also filled with excellent eateries, including its own seafood street, bakeries, and more. So here are my favorite places to grab a bite in the “backyard of Hong Kong.” Sai …
Hong Kong’s favorite bread is unequivocally the pineapple bun, or bolo bao 菠蘿包. This sweet Cantonese bun can be found in Chinatowns across the world (I personally grew up enjoying the versions from NYC Chinatown institution Mei Lai Wah), but the best versions are of course in its birthplace of Hong Kong.

Like NYC and London, Hong Kong boasts its own SoHo neighborhood, a hip area of bars, restaurants, cultural sites and shopping that lies South of Hollywood Road. Since it neighbors the LKF party district, it’s often the starting point of a night out, though it has such a concentration of incredible drinking spots (including many of Asia’s …
I am absolutely obsessed with my cute and clingy goldendoodle named Crosby (and more recently, our rescued toy poodle Cookie), so I’ve spent the last 8 years finding as many ways to bring my dogs with me all around Hong Kong. While many parts of the city sadly do not allow dogs (including most of …
It’s finally sunny in Hong Kong, so we took advantage of it by visiting our go-to spot for sun and gentle waves, Shek O Beach. It’s very popular and can get crowded on the weekends, but the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion. As a bonus, it’s easily accessible by public transit through the …
If you put New York City on steroids, added Hawaii’s hiking and beaches, and threw it off southern China, you would get Hong Kong. I’ve grown to love this vibrant city over the past 7 years living here, and while it certainly has its flaws, it’s definitely worth a visit for its unique mix of …
Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers in the world, so I’ve done the hard work and drank on the top of lots of those buildings to find the best rooftops bars in Hong Kong. While many charge a premium for being able to take in those epic views or to see the Symphony of Lights, …
