Tim Ho Wan

By | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

The BBQ buns that everyone is raving about!!  I was so happy there was one near the hotel we were staying!  For some reason I was craving for it everyday 🙂  Tim Ho Wan is the cheapest Michelin Star restaurant in Hong Kong.  Though the branch in IFC mall is not the one with the star.  I went down to check it out and saw the number of people lining up – this was at around 4pm

The line is for dine in – if you just want the pork buns, just go to the cashier and fill out the form and you can get your buns quickly

I only like to eat them freshly made and hot 🙂

To me it reminds me of our ensaymada with the sweet topping.  To save a few calories, i would just eat the top 🙂

It’s a great pasalubong though you have to handcarry them 🙂  I heard they are opening in Manila soon!!  I can’t wait!! Though the thrill of the chase is going to HK and having them:-)  I guess we have to look for the next thrill! 🙂

Hong Kong Sightings 2013

By | Travel | No Comments

Line in Ferragamo

Line in Hermes

Moncler! 

Love this shelf in GrEAT

From the hotel, we saw this!  Spot the thinnest building!

City Super!!

Gigantic Lindor chocolates!!!

Jamon!

I remember this when I was a kid, we used to have this in the Philippines and then it disappeared!  In Hong Kong it is quite expensive US$ 5.00 compared to Mania before for probably P 30.00 for the whole pack. So this is like GOLD 🙂 to me

Oops someone fits in the CitySuper basket:-)

Apple store in IFC Mall – as usual – very busy!

Panino Giusto!  Tita Ina mentioned this to us so I looked for it!  

There is a guy here in the window just slicing the Hamon ( Italian style this time )

Joel Robuchon right by the connection from the Four Seasons Hotel!  You really take for granted what is right in front of you 🙂  I passed this everyday but never ate anything!

My bestfriend, Eds, said that the ham and cheese sandwich is the best! ( heated )   I just took photos!!  Need to try it next time!

Other variations

Tom Ford Boots!

Macarons Macarons

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Just in IFC mall alone, there are many options for Macarons! James loves Macarons so most of these are his photos 🙂  I don’t know if he ate some, he won’t tell me 🙂  Some other photos are mine as I was window shopping

This photo was another branch of Pierre Hermé not in IFC mall.  I just saw Pierre Hermé being interviewed in CNN.  He said, Perfection is boring, he is more into ATTENTION TO DETAILS.  He said that at 9 years old, he knew he wanted to be a chef 🙂  


This was in IFC mall.  This is the only shop that was strict with photos so I could not take photos inside and close up of the macarons

James was able to take this then they told him it was not allowed

There is TWG.  I was not able to go inside anymore, was rushing through the mall

La Maison du Chocolat
