Christmas Decorations

Happy New Year!  Hope y'all had a good holidays with your families and friends.  December had to be one of my favorite months in the year.  Holidays, sales, good food, good times~  I had the opportunity to check out a few of the popular X'mas decorations in Hong Kong during my recent trip and they are beautiful.

PS.  Not sure what is going on with Flickr but the thumbnails are not showing up properly.  (I tried re-doing the links but it didn't solve the problem)  However, if you clicked on the picture, the links are working.  Oh well, I am probably going to post it on G+ and link it from there next time.

Ladurée

Finally, finally, finally, Ladurée is here in Hong Kong!  (It just opened in Harbor City, Tsim Sha Tsui, on December 1, 2012.)  If you love macaroons, this is the place to be.

L'atelier de Joël Robuchon

Splurge of my Christmas Hong Kong trip - lunch at L'atelier de Joël Robuchon.  Since I didn't go anywhere this Christmas, I could afford a little extravagance.  

Afternoon Tea - Cafe Causette @ Mandarin Oriental

An unexpected stop but so glad I went!  My friend text me during my Hong Kong trip and said he got off early and is enjoying afternoon tea at the Cafe Causette at Mandarin Oriental in Central, Hong Kong.  He is a walking encyclopedia of Hong Kong's afternoon teas so I am glad to try whatever he recommends!

Sing Heung Yuen 勝香園

Originally planned for Tex-Mex but ended up trying the famous tomato-based macaroni with beef and a fried egg at Sing Heung Yuen (勝香園).  The place is located in NoHo in an alley.  It's diagonally across from "Homeless" and another famous diner Kau Kee Restaurant (九記牛腩).  I love dai pai dong (大排檔) so this is exactly my kind of food.  However, if you only eat at Michelin's, this is not for you.
