Tea Wood Cafe

A great little Cafe. Food was mediocre, but really nice ambiance, and their drinks were definitely a highlight! Should have tried their desserts, these cafes tend to have good drinks and dessert, but I can only eat so much.

Floral Pictures

I tried my hand at improving floral pictures by increasing contrast in the colours. It was very difficult to ensure things still looked natural, but I liked the increased contrast from the lightroom edits.

All you can eat sushi in Hong Kong

All you can eat sushi is amazing in Hong Kong if you go to the right one. They tend to serve a wider variety of fish and food, which is especially good if you like to try different fish. As with AYCE in Toronto, don't expect service to be good. In fact, if you get ok service, you should be happy. They rush people in and out, and they start counting their "2 hours" from your reservation time they also make you pay halfway through your meal. Despite the rushed service, they have amazing variety and really fresh food. These guys are so popular, they had a lineup out of the building onto the streets, and they had to shout the reservation numbers over the massive crowd in their store waiting area. I'm refering to this store: 大滿喜日本料理

I didn't take a lot of photos due to the amount of food coming in but here are photos of the sashimi at least :P

Enough about food: Shopping at Stanley Market

There are two main things that I would go to Hong Kong for: Food and Shopping. There are a lot of scenic views and other activities as well, but those are just a bonus. This time, I visit a place called Stanley Market. It is an interesting place because it is in between a tourist market and a local bazaar. The things to shop for at the market: scarves, clothes and linen. These are really cheap, coming to $100 HKD for 3 silk scarves. To cater to the more tourist side of things, there are many souvenir shops throughout the bazaar which still sell really cheap souvenier items. Kudos to a friend of mine who told me about the market, I knew Stanley as a place where the prison was. Interesting place to visit, and definitely lots of treasure to find in the market, definitely worth the long travel!

Happy Valley on a Foggy Day

Happy Valley is known for the horse racing track, but I decided to explore the residential side of things. Due to the gloomy weather, I didn't fully explore the whole area, but a brief walk through was interesting enough. There were lots of western fusion restaurants with a lot of western markets as well. Ranging from cheese stores, wine stores, to pubs. Just included a bunch of pictures I took along the way, and some food pics(Its Hong Kong! food is everywhere!). I didn't take pictures of the stores much though, should have! :\
