Weekend in Hong Kong

Hey all! 

Before things spiral out of control in the name of December, I wanted to provide a quick recap of our recent weekend in Hong Kong. 

Michael and I both love going to HK. Michael pretty much goes once a month for work, but it had been awhile since my last trip. It's such a crazy, buzzing city full of life and wild sights and sounds. It has a palpable energy not felt here in Singapore - it really reminds us of NYC (except, ya know, super Asian). 

The reason for the trip was a wedding of two friends of ours. They had previously gotten married in the Italian Apls, so the event in HK was more of a reception celebration. It was set at the beautiful Sheck O Country Club and the entire event was a beautiful celebration of love and friendship. 

A recap below: 

We stayed at The Pottinger, the most chic, charming boutique hotel ever. It's located in Central HK, just between Lan Kwai Fung and The Escalators - perfect for shopping, eating and wondering. (Side note: yes, I am carrying a bag full of Jenny Bakery cookies and yes, we waited in line for 35min to get them. I'll be writing a full review soon). 

The city was certainly not lacking in the Christmas decorations department. Even many of the downtown skyscrapers were totally covered in lights and decor.  

Stop for tacos, oops. The western food in HK is excellent, btw. 

A few outtakes for potential Christmas card photos. Michael, go stand over there! 

Are we done yet?

A couple pics from the wedding. 

After the celebration on Friday night we were invited to an intimate bunch on Saturday morning. We dined at Serge et Le Phoque which was out of this world insanely good. Highly, highly, highly recommend checking it out if you can.  

A stroll through the Wan Chai market after bunch. 

One final dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Posto Pubblico and that was a wrap on a lovely, exhausting, whirlwind weekend in HK. 

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving back home! I know we certainly have so much to be thankful for. We celebrated the holiday a bit with a casual BBQ at our place with Michael's office and we're headed to a proper feast on Saturday (no days off to celebrate here in Singapore!)

Only 2.5 more weeks until we are back Stateside! I hear the weather will be turning just in time for our arrival ;)

XO,
