So this post will be about Hong Kong Central and a little shout out for two good food/drink finds in Hong Kong Central.
Saturday afternoon Sweet Chai Latte at FUEL, Landmark Mall Basement was a real treat, perfectly made in the right proportions. Only criticism was the cup was not big enough. The mandarin poppy seed cake was ok, a bit dry but quickly overshadowed by the Latte.
Saturday evening dinner was a pleasant surprise at California Vintage, an unique dining idea where you can order a range of Tapas style dishes and pair them with a wide selection of wines. The experience is interactive, wine sample selections are done using a 'charge card' system from stainless steel fine polished wine dispensers. And the food is fresh, generous and good. I was so inspired by the Watermelon Cucumber soup that I have new motivation to try more WATERMELON in food combinations.
Saturday was a special day spent with my love, but a topic for another day. Pictures and impressions from Central on a Saturday are below. In general I can say I am starting to feel a less lost, and a lot more happy and comfortable here, really enjoying the city in many ways.
Tourist signposts:
Old stairs off Lyndhurst Terrace:
Markets stocked with Halloween Decorations:

These stairs in Duddell street are special since they host the last remaining gas lamps in Hong Kong.
