Hong Kong Here We Come!! Day 1 in Hong Kong...Stanley Market and Kowloon

 

 

Alas, every great trip must come to an end, or in our case...off to another destination---HONG KONG!! Yayyy!

 

At Narita Airport, Peter and I stopped by this small conveyor belt sushi place for a quick bite :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then hopped on our Cathay Pacific flight and off we went!  I have to say though, the Cathay Pacific seats are terribly uncomfortable to sit in, felt like I was sitting on cardboard =X

 

After a good night's rest...the next day, we decided to try Luk Yu in Central for some dim sum :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luk Yu was "okay" at best...service was nothing stellar (not that we expect it to be in most Chinese places haha) but the food was only "okay."

Me--Comme des Garcons White Polo with Red Heart

 

Next stop after lunch, we headed off to Stanley Market!  Brings back so many memories, well not so many as I was so young when I moved from HK to LA...but I DO know my mom and dad used to take me to Stanley Market for weekend outings :)

Peter convinced me to take a bus ride out there, I think he almost passed out since the bus had to go thru some very steep terrain and windy roads along the cliff (he's terribly afraid of heights) and the driver definitely was not taking it slow, poor Peter...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basically at Stanley Market, there's just tons of outdoor stands/stores selling trinkets and touristy items, but its pretty cool to just browse around there.

After our little trip to Stanley Market, we headed off to explore parts of Kowloon, Nathan Street and Temple Street...

 

 

One of the best things about being in Asia, is that all the asian snacks and drinks I love so much are readily available everywhere we go...I love being able to find Vitasoy at all the mini marts and some vending machinese...

Me--M Missoni Turquoise Cardigan, Nation LTD Classic V neck White tee (one of my staple pieces when traveling)

 

 

 

Oh look!  I wonder what all those Chinese men are doing, crowding over a small table...haha

 

While exploring Kowloon, we stumbled upn this amazing MANGO dessert place...the menu consists entirely of MANGO items!!!

 

 

Just staring at this menu is making me hungry...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yes, it was all very delicious, Peter and I basically devoured every last bite!

 

 

 

 

Peter at Temple Street Night Market :)

PZ--Lacoste Orange Polo

 

 

This is a sad-face Cory because I wanted to go into this shop to look at their Mickey and Snoopy clothing but it was closed...not to worry though!  We made it back before we left HK and bought a ton of cute Mickey and Snoopy attire--though Peter had no idea when I'd actually ever wear that stuff when I am back in the U.S. (little does he know, I am not embarrassed to wear them around with my Chanel jackets or Great China Wall hoodies LOL)

 

 

 

Perusing the dinner menu at Xin Dan Ji in Kownloon, so many delicious things to choose from!!

Me--Roberto Coin Cento Diamond studs, Tiffany & Co. Platinum Diamond Mini Hoop earrings

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doesn't this just look so crisp and juicy tasting?

hey M, thanks for checking out my blog haha...you're so sweet!

i definitely think my mom passed on lots of fashion "savvyness" to me, but my dad is also remarkably a huge influence for me in that area...he was the one who first introduced me to Lladro art and Jaeger knits (they're much more popular in Asia and Europe though I think).

xoxo

I stumbled on this blog and your style is awesome. You have some beautiful classic pieces. Does your mom influence your style? A lot of HK taitais have such great taste, and it seems to be inherited!
