Hong Kong—Started with lunch at the Mandarin Oriental. Mom and I had Hainanese chicken rice (again!). Diday had noodles.
Then I took the subway to the other side in search of this new mall called The One.
On the food front, they have Tonkichi
Another place serves Thai chicken rice
Do-it-yourself frozen yogurt
I would like to eat here with Jeroen or Ana. This one’s called FULL/half
I walked through this entire mall and concluded that only the 8th floor is worth going to. But considering it’s location (near Granville Road), I don’t think I’ll be coming back, ever.
Spent the longest time at Homeless, a new store called Lost & Found
This place is magical
But this is my favorite store in the mall: The Blacksmith
I can’t tell you how much I love this store
Silvercord is a must stop for me.
Capital I.T is where I spend the most time in the fitting room.
Spotted at small i.t: girl with cute Cambridge Satchel
Met up with James and Jiki for dinner.
First stop: Mannings, to buy the miracle Tomato pill.
Both Jiki and James lost so much weight. Jiki’s on the Dukan Diet and James is on the Tomato pill.
I bought the last two boxes at Mannings.
You take the pill 30 minutes before bedtime (no midnight snacks allowed) and it burns your fats while you sleep. James swears your tummy disappears!!
We swore to diet together and keep tabs on Twitter.
But first, dinner at Cuisine Cuisine at IFC.
Sea bass with the best leeks in the world
Prawn balls in salted egg = heaven!!
We came here for Peking Duck only to find out you have to order a day in advance. So we ordered fried chicken instead, which was just average.
Jiki’s veggies
We talked diet the entire time + Manila gossip
For dessert, I got to meet Jiki’s boyfriend, Kester
We approve! Kester, please marry my friend!!
Parted at the Four Seasons where Jiki discovered an ATM near the restrooms—how convenient!
I love these people cause they don’t force me to go to Lan Kwai Fong. With that, I went upstairs and proceeded to pack.
