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 …
