42: Last Week in Hong Kong - How I Became A Regular at a HK Café (Hong Kong Internship Diaries #8)
Hello and welcome to a new episode about books😍 I can‘t believe my Internship in Hong Kong is already coming to an end! In today’s episode, I’m reminiscing about these past 6 months and tell you all about the cafés and restaurants I became a regular at. I now realised they are mostly expat-style cafés and sweet treat shops, but I promise they are delicious and soo friendly🥰
The poem „If you roam the streets of Hong Kong“: www.allthings-brightandbeautiful.com
The list of my favourite regular places (in no particular order):
Cheung Hing Kee Shanghai Pan-Fried Buns (try the truffle ones - I ate these every friday😍)
Ten Ren Bubble Tea (supercheap and really good boba pearls)
Butter Cakeshop (absolute favourite!! Everything you try here will be fantastic😍 Especially the classic cookies with pink frosting and sprinkles, the Tiramisu cookies, the New York Cheesecake!!)
CouCou Hotpot (Fancy and superdelicious hotpot😍)
Sisombat Laos Restaurant (Try the Laos Fried Rice with a Sunnysideup egg from the vegetarian menu and a full coconut😍)
Mrs H Coffeehouse
Venner (Nordic-style Café)
Fikafabriken (THE best Strawberry Matcha Latte and authentic Swedish cinnamon rolls)
Omu Café (Waffles!! And their playlist is divine)
Elephant Grounds (Banana bread and fruit smoothie and a bit of work is a perfect saturday morning😇)
