~ Kowloon By Day ~

Kowloon is a feast for the eyes and for the camera lens.

Here are some pics of Kowloon by day....

Australia Dairy Company - (Jordan) Kowloon, Hong Kong

While I was in Hong Kong, I visited the Australia Dairy Company a couple of times.
Who would have thought that scrambled eggs and toast could be this good?!  (I certainly didn't!)  I also tried the steamed milk custard which was slightly too rich for one person to indulge, especially after a large lunch.  However, be warned that you will get yelled at if you don't queue up properly outside, or be ignored if you don't order fast enough.  I thought this was all pretty humorous as it's all part of the experience. :P

So, if you're ever visiting Hong Kong, I do recommend a visit here, as this place is an institution. ;)

Bird Market - Kowloon, Hong Kong

Back from a whirlwind vacation from Hong Kong with the worst jetlag! :P
The last time I saw Hong Kong was 20 yrs ago, and I am pleased to see that the city has retained much of it's character, even though most parts have been taken over by modern high rises with blinking billboards and swanky shopping malls.

One of the places that feels untouched is the bird market on Yuen Po street in Kowloon...

I did not get a chance to see it, but was told that you can watch owners feed the birds crickets with chopsticks. Mmmmm...mmmm.... :P

See You Soon....

It's always hard leaving you - for no matter how short, or long of a time....xoxo

I'm off to Hong Kong tomorrow morning - here's to a happy new year to you!

Happy Holidays!

Here's a little origami meat/Christmas "dinner" surprise left on my desk at work from a fellow co-worker....

And here is Melinda Josie's beautiful snowman (snowbird?) for Torontoland...

Colourful Weekend

The weekend started with The Sound of Music sing-a-long at the TIFF Lightbox.....

and ended with sharing the tastiest macarons in the city with my bestest friend....
