Night Life in Hong Kong Island - Not Only "Lan Kwai Fong" 兰桂坊!

Hong Kong Island

After we had our dinner near Central, it's time to go back to our hotel. But, wait a minute!

In fact, it's time to stroll around Hong Kong Island with Charmaine who willing to bring me for an insight.

We always heard about Lan Kwai Fong of Hong Kong where night life is the best place to be.

Finally I have the opportunity to experience LKF personally. Tourists like me were walking and drinking at bars and dining nearby.

Emack & Bolio's

One of the recommended Ice Cream here!

The longest escalator in Hong Kong Island.

Hollywood Road GOD Store

" ... Local artist Alex Croft’s colourful mural of old townhouses seems to continuously have tourists and local Instagrammers alike hanging around seeking a snapshot. Originally a commissioned piece for lifestyle brand GOD’s store around the corner, the art is now an attraction itself. Opposite The Globe, 45-53 Graham St, Central. " - Time Out

One of the favourite spot for photography.

It's a candy shop that we have walked by.

Night scene.

And we waited for the tram to go to our hotel located at Wanchai. The tram only available at Hong Kong Island.

In fact, it could be a romantic date too. :)

That's Charmaine. :) Always a good opportunity to know more of the insight of a country when we have relatives!

View from the tram.

I love to stand at the bridge while looking at the buildings and the busy streets. Same goes to Thailand and Vietnam. If you have the chance to stand at the bridge of a busy street, you will enjoy it as well!

KK Eats : The Chubs Grill | Plaza Shell

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
Non Halal

There's always a plan for me, especially in December. It should be a yearly event that dining together with close friends to celebrate another good year of friendship.

It's hardly to get everyone bringing partner along to enjoy the night together. We made a reservation at The Chubs Grill which is always packed with gathering and special occasions. 

Talk about the environment and surrounding at The Chubs Grill, it's cozy, suitable for wine and dine, office party, birthday party and suitable for various type of event. More over, located at Plaza Shell with convenient parking space.

We had a good meal with pasta and others. All of them taste good with special sauce, however we all agreed that the platter as follow was not a good choice as it was a bit dried. Always prefer a specific dish with fine preparation.

My friends did a surprise birthday cake for two of us that will be having our birthday in few days time.

The girls here went to quite a bit of life in the past. ;)

In fact, Jollibee is back in Malaysia for good. It was once opened at Likas when I was just a little girl! Maybe due to lack of fast food lovers back then and now having their FIRST Store in Malaysia!

They are officially running their business on 15 December, 2018. The crowd were excited with long queue from Jollibee to Centre Point centre stage. I am surely lucky to be able to try their famous menu at the first day of their opening without having to wait for long.
