Big backlog of posts! Anyway, flew into Hong Kong last week for a work blitz. 2 days jammed with work and deliverables and meetings, but we covered quite a bit so it was satisfying. Sadly, pretty much no shopping whatsoever… except for the frantic shopping I did on-board the plane, and also at the airport whilst waiting for my flight 😛 A shame, because Hong Kong is shopping central and has so much stuff you can’t get in Shanghai. Doh!!
I adore Hong Kong. It’s bright, it’s vibrant, there’s fab shopping, and even better eating!
Cathay Pacific’s Business Class lounge – tres nice!
‘Dan dan’ noodles, soft noodles in a creamy spicy broth.
Mannnnnn this was good. Had to go back for another bowl 😛
On the plane and snacking on (yummy) roasted almonds
Smoked peppered tuna nicoise salad with tonnato dressing
Mixed salad with roma tomato, Parmesan cheese and pine nuts
Grilled barramundi with lemon cream sauce, black truffle mashed potatoes, grilled capsicum and French beans
Truffle!
Espresson truffle cake with mascarpone cream and fresh vanilla sauce
Did some “onflight shopping” and bought this cute Cath Kidston necklace
Hotel Lan Kwai Fong in Hong Kong
My morning view. Hello concrete jungle!

That’s a very pretty necklace!
hehe thanks. go duty free shopping on airplanes!
Technically I haven’t gone out of the airport at Singapore, but judging from the airport it’s just as lovely and accessible as Hong Kong so I’m SUPER excited. Any quick recommendations on what I should do while I’m in Singapore for 3-4 days? I see there’s something called the Night Safari- is that worth going to or more just a touristy gimmick thing (something I’m all too used to seeing having grown up in Hawaii) 😛
SG is looovely, similar to HK – but different food. Food everywhere is great, and ya, Night Safari is cool so you’ll like that. GO clubbing at CLarke Quay!
I stayed at the same hotel last time when i was in HK!
the location is so convenient and i love the interior!
What a small world! Yeah the location is super.. just that this time I didn’t have ANY time to check out the shops there, boo!
Those pics are gorgeous!
I think airplane food is my fave part of travelling.. heh!
Wow, the airplane food looks good.
Was really impressed with ’em.. I love airplane food 😛
the tuna~~ *drools*
It was pretty good, being plane food and all! 😛
you must be darn happy~~

too bad you didnt have time to shop!! but you will have many more chances in the future to go back there im sure! 🙂
Next time, there’s no stopping me 😉
damn… I wish I wasn’t doomed to fly Qantas business all the time.. that Cathay seems soooooooo much better. Have you been to the One World lounge in Sydney? It stinks of mouldy cheese 🙂
No way, Qantas business is way way way better than Cathay’s! well, actually, that’s cos I was on Cathay’s short flights.. Cathay’s business is also pretty awesome on long haul flights. i don’t think i’ve been to that Sydney lounge tho, but now i’m glad i haven’t.. teehee!
Oh wow. The Dan Dan Noodles look so good!!!
i reckon it tasted that much better since it was freee 😛

Hey ..
I *think* i saw you yesterday at One Fullerton .. is that you ? Or am i dreaming whilst eating my lunch ? *LOL*
It was! We were there celebrating my cousin’s 30th, hehe. Chris was there too, hope none of us was doing anything weird! 😛
No worries.. in fact you guys make a gorgeous pair
Actually what caught my attention were your Mum and (i think) your aunt. They were walking infront of you guys and i think both of them look incredibly well-maintained for their age! Nice clear skin, perfect hair and very elegant! (:
Aww that is very nice of you! They’ll be delighted 🙂
I love that little tea table by the hotel window. Really nice touch! 😀
It’s v asian, i think!

Ah.. theres something really endearing about HK’s concrete jungle isn’t it? I love Felix at Peninsular Hotel…my very first business trip was to HK and i remember how in awe i was of the vibrancy there.
Penninsular’s just awesome.. Ahh, HK is just great in general 🙂
