Hong Kong - Central - Duddell Street

Duddell Street - Bing sutt Starbucks

Most of the people wouldn't notice there is a unique Starbucks located in Duddell Street, literally between the 4 gas lamps.
While strolling down the street near the Pedder Street ( I was looking for the Stone steps street), suddenly I felt exhausted and thirsty. As a local, we would just go for a drink quickly.
I saw the Starbucks logo and decided to go for a drink while walking in, there was an extraordinary smell...

I smell ' Egg tarts'??  - You wouldn't get such things in other Starbucks in Hong Kong.

Little history behind the Bing sutt.

Hong Kong retail design store G.O.D. collaborated with Starbucks and created a store with a "Bing Sutt Corner" at their store on Duddell Street. It is a concept that fuses the retro bing sutt, a Hong Kong teahouse style with the contemporary look of a coffeehouse.
Bing sutt is a type of traditional coffee house in Hong Kong. Commonly found in 1950s and 1960s-era, it is characterized by old furniture and settings such as the small tiled floors, hanging fans, folding chairs and so on. Bing Sutt provides light meals and drinks and is neighbourhood-oriented.^[1] It is believed to be the predecessor of Cha Chaan Teng.
Hong Konger's love to spend their tea time inside a bing sutt or somewhere nice. - Only wealthy people go to cafes or restaurants back in the days!!!

 

It is situated between the stairs (or an alley if you say so!)

HONG KONG - LAN KWAI FONG!!!

 Welcome to LAN KWAI FONG, before I start this article, I would like to introduce you a little history behind LKF.

Lan Kwai Fong as an area is defined by D'Aguilar Street and the smaller lane, Lan Kwai Fong, an L-shaped, cobble-stoned lane. Both streets turn 90 degrees to form a rectangle. It is near the Mid-Levels. Its eating and drinking establishments are considered upmarket in price and the area is also considered a tourist spot. From the west side of the rectangle, Wo On Lane and Wing Wah Lane extend to host several more spots for drinks and food. The area arguably extends to Wellington Street and Wyndham Street, through to the Hong Kong Fringe Club. It is also home to a small number of art galleries.



Clubbing and drinking is a must 'DO' in LAN KWAI FONG, even though it could get so crowded and dangerous at night but it was a good experience to see and experience the night life in HK.

HONG KONG - Victoria Harbour

What a memorable trip after spending 2 weeks in Hong Kong, 
A city has been serenaded by the Victoria Harbour.

Every time I land in Hong Kong, mostly during winter, Hong Kong greets you with her warmest alongside with love...
I may even call this feeling 'HOME'.

Full of remorse after I left this city, realizing there is nowhere in the world, not even London or Tokyo could replace such tremendous place even though you may have complained about the level of light pollutions.

VICTORIA HARBOUR - Looking from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central

- Number 1 ranking on Tripadvisor

Victoria Habour is a natural form harbour situated between the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, boats and ships sailing around inside an international city, showing the histories behind the Harbour.

Long famous for its spectacular views, the harbour is a major tourist attraction of Hong Kong. Lying in the middle of the territory's dense urban region, the harbour is the site of annual fireworks displays and its promenades are popular gathering places for tourists and residents.

Without the Victoria Harbour or being one of the British Colony's we wouldn't be as shine as we would have been now.

Those dots makes a star, therefore it is called 'Star Ferry' , this is also what makes this amazing 13 minutes journey so calm and enjoyable at the same time!

 As a local - we do love taking ferries to travel because it hasn't got any traffic jams and could travel quick (If I had to go to Central from TST - MTR takes 2 station to get there!).

Thank you Hong Kong.
