Tim's Kitchen


What I am loving ... the chance to show
foodies my favorite eats in Hong Kong.
Tim's Kitchen on Bonham Strand, Sheung Wan
is a must-visit if you ever find yourself in Hong Kong,
if only for the "Steamed Whole Fresh Crab Claw with Egg White".
But, remember, to call one day in advance to order the crab claws.




Other things to order:
Crispy Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork with Pineapple,
Deep-fried Frog Leg with Peppercorn Salt,
Roasted Crispy Baby Pork Belly,
Sauteed Pea Shoots,
Sauteed Rice Rolls with Minced Beef

Window-shopping


What I am loving ... Gucci's window.
I am not much of a fan of Gucci.
But, this time, I have to say that I am loving the dresses
that are on display in their window in Central!
The drapery on that short dress on the left is simply enchanting.
The long one would be perfect for niece's graduation ball ...
bling-y and simple.
If it weren't for the hefty price tags ...

Just because it's Christmas!


What I am loving ... the Christmas spirit!
I am one of those people who, more often than not, wears black.
This is because I am too lazy 
to plan my outfits in advance.
I actually decide what to wear a few minutes before I leave for the office.
I've been like this forever
which is why I decided years ago
to fill my wardrobe with black.
I've been told to wear some colour many, many times.
And, in celebration of this yuletide season,
I've taken to brightening up the look.

Crans Montana



What I am loving ... this perfect picture
taken by my Feng Shui Master and BFF RP!
RP took this last year in the front yard
of our friend's weekend retreat.
I am as blue as the skies!

Flashes of red

What I am loving ... improving on perfection!
As people were clubbing on Saturday evening,
RR, CM and I were putting the finishing touches
on my Christmas decor at home.
Now, we are as festive as ever!
So festive that I threw a dinner party on Sunday night.

Takashi Murakami in Hong Kong

What I am loving ... being at the happiest place on earth.
No, it's not Disneyland.
At least, not yesterday, when happiness was the 
I was with RR and CM.
They allowed the taking of pictures.
What a treat!

Christmas is here

What I am loving ... coming home
especially when I am surprised by a visit 
by my Christmas stork RR!
I was feeling rather scroogie until last night.
I've got to have a party!
Thank you very much, RR!

Wa'ko-ni, my Indian princess

What I am loving ... after a long wait ... 
I finally got my Wa'ko-ni!
I was shopping with my friend JG
who was looking for an anniversary gift for his wife MG.
Our first stop was the Hermes shop at Lee Gardens in CWB.
I was so speechless when I saw this Indian lady
smiling at us as we entered the shop!
JG got one in blue-violet or MG.
And, I got one in red-orange for myself.

To learn more about Hermes scarves, visit Bien Vestido.

A new-old apartment


What I am loving: turning something old into new!
I bought a one-bedroom apartment in Makati (Philippines) a few months ago.
It was pretty old-fashioned but I super-loved
the space and the big windows.
It screamed "lots of potential" to me.
I asked my architect-cousin to gut it completely.
I just got the pictures and am so excited to share ... and to see
the place in person.
The best way to see how far we've gone
is to compare the before and after pictures.
