Where we went to start the year

...and more interestingly, what we did while we were there.

Stole some horns from Muse after counting down at Lounge18 on the Bund


Queued up for the yuckiest snack that smelled like garbage and tasted probably like garbage had I tried that before


Sat on each other given the chance


Stood in the way of other people's photos


...more often than we're proud of


Took a stab at Hanyu pinyin


Posed in bathtubs, fully dressed


Had takeout in our hotel room on the 31st of Dec


"Drank" tea from the spout


Left a mark in Starbucks at the Yuan Gardens


Looked angry and complained half the time


Looked stupid the other half of the time


Had roast geese HK style


Sampled Pierre Hermé's old and new flavors at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant


Lunched at Cépage

Shanghai was polluted, dirty, and icky family fun. HK was the usual indulgent food fest with money well spent. Though the latter trip was cut short due to an important event, it won't be long before I return. This time, with the bf.

Thanks Randy for providing recos and taking us out NY's eve! That really made the night!

And of course, a big thanks to Suen who shared my love for facial masks and desserts in the comfort of her couch. That's pure bliss.

Not forgetting AC who so kindly brought back Pierre Hermé macarons from Paris and taking me out for Yung Kee pei dan. I ♥ you!
