Hong Kong 101: Review of Cecconi’s Italian
Stop by every Tuesday and Thursday when I’ll share a new tip or some of my favourite things in Hong Kong! The first time I went to Cecconi’s Italian was by pure chance. My beautiful girlfriend Amps who is pregnant with that gorgeous glow one has when expecting, suggested lunch at her favourite Italian place to catch up. I was a bit under the weather, but it had been awhile since I had last seen her, so I went to enjoy her company and watched her enjoy her meal, all the while making a mental note that I needed to return and enjoy the full experience with my love another time, which…

Hong Kong 101: Review of Craftsteak
Stop by every Tuesday and Thursday when I’ll share a new tip or some of my favourite things in Hong Kong! Having been in Hong Kong for a few weeks now this second time around, I’ve had my fair share of steaks & one of my favorite places is definitely Craftsteak! Craftsteak distinguishes itself by offering open fire cooking on a custom made charcoal grill, offers a nice selection of wonderful sauces, and creates a intimate and fine-dining experience with its lighting and selection of meats and wines from all over the world. This particular Monday, I had the filet mignon & my love had the ribeye. Both of our…

Hong Kong 101: Bring your flats girls.
Stop by every Tuesday and Thursday when I’ll share a new tip or some of my favourite things in Hong Kong! New York is definitely a concrete jungle, but apart from the Meatpacking District, it’s also a flat one. Something I wish someone (anyone) would have told me before I arrived in Hong Kong is to buy flats, and lots of them because unless you want to fall (like I have many times in the beginning) flats are just the way to go here. When I say heel, I’m talking about the usual 4 or 5 inches that I wore as one of my staples in New York. I’m…

Hong Kong 101: The Central Mid-Levels Escalator System
Stop by every Tuesday and Thursday when I’ll share a new tip or some of my favorite things in Hong Kong! This is SO Hong Kong, and one of the things that I saw (and got on) when I first arrived. The Central Mid-Levels escalator system is the world’s longest outdoor covered escalator system. It’s about 800 meters long and about 135 meters above in the air. It runs from Queens Center Road to Conduit Road in the Mid-Levels. There are several points in the escalator system when you can get on and off (about 14). It runs downhill towards the business center from approximately 6-10 am when everyone is…

Day 1 in Paris – There’s A Techno Parade Outside My Window.
If you’ve ever traveled overseas then you know the deal. Because of the time difference you’re supposed to sleep on the plane so that you wake up perfectly refreshed when you land in your new timezone. Too bad I can never follow directions!

Welcome to Paris! Beinvenue à Paris!
Welcome to Paris, or Bienvenue à Paris was the beautiful, pinch-me-because-am-I-really-here sign that greeted me at Orly Airport. I had an amazing opportunity to visit Paris for a week, and better yet, got to spend it with two of my very best friends Kristine and Nicole, and a new friend Ashley. There was so much to see, touch and of course eat that I’ll have to break it down into a few posts so you can experience it a properly through my eyes. Until then au revoir! XOXO Helen
