  • Dessert Time

    Last Friday night, after a very ordinary Shanghainese dinner at the Xia Mian Guan inside the #Elements Shopping Mall, interesting this one is under a different management from other Xia’s outlets throughout Hong Kong……….. anyway because of the disappointed meal, I wanted to have some desserts, walking around the mall, I eventually went up to the Podium level and took a Picture of Hong Kong at night.  and made a right turn to the Ritz Carlton Hotel HK, and if you happen to have read my previous entry about this hotel you might have thought that I will never go back. Well since I was dressed in a  quite a casual attire, I just had my dessert at the Pastry Gems which is located at the main entrance level….

     

     

    a Green Tea Cake, very strong green tea taste with a kind of berries jelly filling in the centre..

    Apricot Jivara  – Apricot Chocolate Mousse accompanied with a tube of Apricot Gel, and god I love that so much..

     

    Pot de Creme – a Coffee/Dark Chocolate Mousse with gold flakes….

    While my friend having a cafe latte, I had my apple flavour tea……

     

     

     

  • Flying to Seoul on Korean Air

    MY last trip to #Seoul #Korea was a last minute plan, I decided to go for the trip only one week before the departure day, thanks to the travel agent, who managed to get us the air ticket  on #KoreanAir and hotel room , over the Golden week holiday of China when a lot of wealthy Chinese going oversea holiday trip!

    This was my very first time to fly on Korean Air (KE) which I have heard of many negative comments from my friends mostly living in Vancouver cos KE is one of the cheaper options to fly back to Hong Kong

    Flying on the Red-eye flight means that we can arrive Seoul very early in the morning save one night hotel accommodation..

    The KE’s A380 at HKG airport

    quite a nice seat with a very generous let room!

     

    the IFE screen is the same size of the SQ one, and the view cam from the tail …

    on this slightly over 3 hours flight, we were offered with pre-meal drinks

    and trying the Bibimbap as an inflgiht meal, the Korean chilli sauce which also can be purchased in-flight!!

  • Seoul 2011

    Was in #Seoul #Korea about 2 weeks ago.  During these 3 days short trip, Eating and shopping were the main purposes I guess. And having a big full lunch at a local family style restaurant  around the area of the Gahoe Bukchon Hanok village was my favourite on this trip. And it’s only KWR 34,000 for Two, about HKD 300…
