Lan Kwai Fong (LKF).

Random building taken during the journey from the tram station back to Central. Possible because i) we were on the upper deck of an open top Double Decker bus, fortunately and ii) the bus was stopping for the red light at a junction, fortunately. Image on the right - us awaiting to board the tram back...

To The Peak.

Which reminds me of the night tram ride time lapse video done by Pete which I really enjoyed. It's just so beautiful.Mr. Tan, Hello Kitty and Jacklyn. Just a gentle reminder...

Pete, our walking and talking encyclopedia, explained that during the early years of British rule, locals came to the temple to solve disputes or seek healing due to unfamiliarity with western medications (something...

I can't really recall on the cost difference...

Mido Cafe.

Located just a stone's throw away from Dorsett Seaview Hotel, we were already out by 9 in the morning after settling in way past midnight earlier. The cafe looks awfully familiar, I think it has been used in the filming of TVB's 'Miu Kai Ma Heng Dai' (translated as the twins of Temple Street) series...

Around Temple Street.

Also known as Miu Kai, a direct translation in Cantonese. It does bear some similarity with our very own Pasar Malam (night market) minus all the food stuff, T-shirts, bags and souvenirs aplenty. And much cleaner too.In front of Tong Tai restaurant while waiting for our food, which is supposingly our...
