St. Presso @ Icon City, Bukit Mertajam

Another new cafe around the corner to explore and it is really difficult for me to make time to go to all of them since I am quite busy lately. So, after lunch last week, I went to St Presso with my buddies since most of us have yet been there to try out their coffee.



The huge St. Presso Logo on the wall.
You will not miss it as you enter the cafe.

Tsim Sha Tsui to Avenue of Stars @ Hong Kong

I have been procrastinating lately when it comes to updating info regarding my travelling. Well, I can be quite lazy when it comes to writing for a dissertation and writing for fun. OK...enough for my rumbling...here we go :D

I spent the last day of my trip walking around Tsim Sha Tsui after a hearty breakfast at Tim Ho Wan. So, I ended up reaching iSquare after roaming around Tsim Sha Tsui by exiting at Exit A1. Took some photos with the cute Chinese New Year kitties in iSquare before moving on.



Saw a mosque in Hong Kong and I was super excited.
I was out of my mind since I was away from my country
for a few days and I do see a mosque almost every day
when I drive around my place.

It is near Tsim Sha Tsui MTR A1 exit, fyi.

Arnold Cycling Cafe @ Icon City, BM, Penang

Icon City is a new happening place in Bukit Mertajam and it is near to Autocity and Taman Seri Rambai. New cafes and restaurants have been opening lately in Icon City and apart from frequenting the Star Bucks outlet there, my friends and I went to a cafe instead.

I prefer air-conditioned spaces,
to stay away from the sun of course. ^^

Street Art Cafe @ Lebuh China, George Town, Penang

Please take note that this cafe is no longer in business

A trip to Penang with buddies will usually end up as a food hunting trip. We have heard or came across blog entries on friend ice-cream in Penang. So, finally, my buddies and I managed to squeeze out sometime for some good food.



The cafe can be easily located once you cross the road 
opposite the Goddess of Mercy Temple.

You can see the logo of Street Art Cafe, plus a
banner with 'Thailand Fried Ice Cream'
printed on it.

Wong Tai Sin Temple to Langham Place @ Hong Kong

To experience life in Hong Kong, you need to walk among the people. During my trip, besides malls and Disney land, I did roam around some of the places and almost get lost while walking on Nathan Road. =.= 

Anyway, I started one of my day visiting Wong Tai Sin temple. I chose the wrong day as it seems that it was a prayer day. Full of devotees and tourists. So, I didn't get to get my fortune read and roam around the temple due to the crowd. It is easy to reach the temple as the MTR station which you should reach is Wong Tai Sin station.

I saw people offering prayers and no chance for me

Make It (rose ice-cream) @ Langham Place, Hong Kong

Before my trip to Hong Kong, I came across a confectionery shop in Langham Place which sells rose ice-cream online. I was  tempted to try the ice-cream and one of my plan was to go to Langham.

I almost gave up when I fail to locate the shop and went into a convenient store and found another exit/entrance at the other end of the store which leads to the MTR station. The convenient store mentioned should be Market Place by Jasons, a convenient store at the basement of Langham Place if I remember correctly.

As I walked a few steps after the convenient store, I was delighted to see the rose ice-creams at the confectionery display. So, I decided to try it since it was my only chance and I am not sure when I'll visit Hong Kong again.



 Hokkaido Milk Rose Ice-cream @ 35 HKD

The texture is smooth once it melted in your mouth.
It is actually harder than a popsicle. XD

Magical Day at Hong Kong Disneyland

It was a dream come true to have the opportunity to visit Disneyland, since I am a fan of Disney's animation. XD Dreams do come true. I have been to two theme parks so far: Tokyo Disney and HK Disneyland. More to go once I manage to travel again. ^^

Besides, I bought my tickets in advance from HK Disnet's website and collected them HK Disneyland's Ticket Express at MTR Hong Kong Station (Tung Chung Line Concourse).

The magic starts here. :)
