Matcha desserts at Via Tokyo, spent around 10SGD for one bowl of dessert and one third of the matcha latte I think. Cafe hopping is always an expensive hobby sighhh. The matcha desserts were normal but the matcha latte was good :) Like not too sweet. Woohoo I LIKE.

The shop was pretty small so I guess don't go there with a big group. It seems like a nice place to chill alone haha.

Really like this denim thing but not going to spend more than SGD30 on it :( F21, can you have a sale please? :(

I think this is cool too hehehe. But damn mafan to go toilet hahaha.

Was walking around the mall area when we smell really really nice bread but we couldn't find the source of it. Really damn sad :( So we settled for some other street food.

All the random pork stuff and I tried 猪血 for the first time. It tasted like tofu texture and I will say my favourite sentence again "It's all in the mind"

Fried udon, a fish and two different types of vegetables. Not bad an attempt :)

Really admire how people can cook, remain calm etc. Must learn all the good points and increase my domestic goddess level :S

Forever alone day on Friday

Well well, it really felt worse being alone on Vday in a foreign country. I mean in SG, I can always go out with friends or at least receive some food from friends. I mean along with messages, that make me feel so loved awww. 

Glad that I had people to ate with for dinner and supper ^^

Tried some goose porridge that tasted damn good at first but progressively not as nice hmm. But yaaay to porridge. Love eating porridge in cold cold weather haha..

From some Fuk Kee shop along Mongkok. MUST TRY MUI KEE SOME OTHER DAY HMPH.

Wanted tangyuan cause it was 15th day of CNY but the tangyuan we had sucked EWWW. :(

One Dimsum on Saturday

YAY to dimsum again ^^ Super love the chee cheong fun skin with dough fritters. Must thank Wahlim for the recommendation again! Then went to Tsim Sha Tsui for some shopping and then had desserts at Happy Togther which was normal only...

Ippudo Ramen, Happy Lemon and Good Hope Noodles on Sunday

Headed over to Kowloon Bay cause there was supposed to be good harbour view... but it was just another shopping centre. But hey, I got to try Ippudo Ramen finally. And no queue at all. Why is SG one always crowded?! Maybe there's better ramen in HK. I wanna go try Butao Ramen and Ichiran ramen hehe.


Feelings

Spent my first vday overseas. It does kind of feel sad and more lonely than usual. No close friends to ask out for dinner and no chocolates from anyone sighhhh. Okay not that I don't have friends here.

SIGHHH my reluctance to do anything related to school HAIIII.

Okay byeeee.

Nobody else needs to know

Where we might go

We could just run them red lights

Macau has really pretty blue skies.

And the infrastructure does make you feel like you are in Europe. Except the weather is really warm. And I thought I was appropriately dressed without tights... Which was proven wrong (explained later)

Macau is just full of casinos everywhere. Which all of them checked my passport except for one.

Finally reached St Paul ruins after walking upslope for so looooong. The place where everyone is photobombing everyone's else photos.

Bad choice to travel to Macau during CNY. So crowded everywhere :(

Went to Venetian Macau. Can't go to Venice? No worry, go the fake venice and eat awesome egg tarts from Lord Stow first.

Bought almond cookies and tried so much food to realise HK island has the same shop, watched people do bungee jump and felt like doing it but it's so expensive (sigh). Headed back to the ferry terminal at around 7pm and omg, earliest ferry ride was 3am :O While we were being shocked and thinking of what to do, the 3am ferry ran out of seats... SO 3.30am here we go. Can't believe we survived it. Played stupid games etc to while our time away...

Reached Central early and decided to go to Lin Heung tea house for dimsum at 6am. Seriously who eats breakfast at that time?!

Old school dimsum at 6am with all the old people. Place with the most dirty utensils ever. The steamed egg cake is good. So is the lotus paste bun which contains salted egg yolk nomnom. Didn't try the custard bun, har gow and siew mai. I will be back for it, I think? :)

Tim Ho Wan again! Wanted to eat at Kam Wah instead but they ran out of bolo buns :( HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN. Tim Ho Wan at Shamshuipo which is the main branch and hence there is no queue at all. People who spent like hours queuing for TimHoWan in SG, too bad for you all hahaha. Anw I finally managed to try the glutinous rice yaaaay :) Pretty good :D

Steamboat buffet on Thursday

The Hall tutor brought us to HIPOT at Jordan for steamboat buffet and it was only around $8SGD for lunch omgggg. I mean there wasn't that much variety and everything but still fish and beef slices ^^ Worth it hehehe.


Then went for dessert at Honeymoon dessert which was normal and there's outlets of that in SG which wasn't fantastic as well :(

Kam Wah on Sunday

Cooking in hall on Tuesday

Cooked our first meal together in hall ^^ Tomatoes, minced pork and udon and steamed vegetables. Yaaaay, not bad for a first attempt. 

Mobile Softee on Wednesday

Tried to rush out to Mongkok after running in the morning to get my prepaid card... and I spot the mobile softee van :) Finally got to try it after seeing so much many of my exchange friends posting pictures of it. Tasted pretty normal actually, just that it's really quite soft #youdontsay

Alone time on Wednesday :)

Then went shopping for fooood. And I saw one bottle of cashew nut cookie. Just buy only hahaha. Haven't see chinese new year food here please :( They don't have pineapple tarts and my favourite prawn roll SIGH.

Food trip in Central/Wanchai on Thursday

Tried Lan Fong Yuen and ate at Capital Cafe again. Lan Fong Yuen is so so so disappointing. The service was horrifying. Sat down at a place and was made to move again. And the waiter kept insisting that we should use English. EXCUSE ME, we got so cui meh?!??!

So not everything that looks old school is good okay.

Famous pork chop bun and silk stocking milk tea

Yes, I am eating kaya toast -.- Haven't see kaya for so longggg.

Well, the food there wasn't bad but it wasn't good so I felt it was overrated. The milk tea was only slightly smoother than usual milk tea. The pork chop bun looks so small and sad haha. But still better than the one from Macau, which has bones in it omgggg. Shall blog about it again next time haha.

Since I called it a food hunt, how can it stop with one shop right? Went to the Starbucks store with HK concepts incorporated in it. Pretty cool.

I want to try the red bean pudding the next time I am there!!

Ordered the coffee flavoured bolo bun and egg tart. The coffee taste was stronger for the egg tart I guess. But both of them don't really taste good oops.

Also headed to Capital Cafe at Wanchai again. Omg can't believe they don't sell milk pudding!!! So embarrassing. Had to ordered some other food. The red bean ice was pretty good :)

Wanted to buy egg tarts back for dessert/supper after steamboat but sigh honululu was closed by the time I headed back for it SIGHHHH.

Steamboat on Thursday

Fireworks and sushi supper at Tsim Sha Tsui on Saturday

SASHIMI HALF -PRICED. HKD 15 for three thick pieces :)

Horse racing at Shatin Race course on Sunday

Okay so it was the first race of the lunar new year and hence was supposed to be a big event. Won HKD4 this time yaaaay better than losing HKD30 the last time :( 

LOL this photo act like got win 30 plus dollars HAHA. Wear red colour specially. Kidding.

Got to eat Movenpick icecream again ^^ No pistachio flavour but love the espresso flavour :)

Was pretty worried about having to celebrate cny here alone. Foreign country, CNY (with shops closed), without family. Sounds pretty scary but glad for the company ^^
