Have you ever aware of its existence…

A must place to pass by for bus exchange to Tuenmun town, Tuenmun Road Interchange. Every morning and evening during the peak hours, lots of people rushing to get to their destination without a glimpse of it. In fact, its spectacular view of river, wild bushes and trees under the 180 degree sky here is incredible and irresistible to stop and admire a while, needless to say at the beautiful sunset time. Regularly, neighbourhoods visit here for a day with their fishing rod or even a picnic at one of the rock beside the river. Frequently seeing bicyclettes dressed in multiple colourful gears and helmet racing by the roundabout ahead from both sides of traffic, stopping here for a water refill from a water refill machine as well as the rest room. For your next visit, allow some time to appreciate the nature here, taking a cold drink from one of the kiosk machines and find an undercover seat at one of waiting benches or standing by river side or advantageously at one of the rocks, watching go-around activities or enjoying the tranquility and peaceful picturesque here at no cost. #本地遊 #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #mytripvlog #mytripvlog #yuppije #yuppije2023 #tuenmun #hongkong #riverview #natureview

Hongkongers know very well “Daikiya” the popular Japanese restaurant, a chain restaurant under Daikiya Catering Group with branches. It’s famous for sashimi and variety of hot and cold Japanese food. It offers all you can eat to order, within a limited time and the charges are varied according to the time of consumption which is very popular amongst the workers or family gathering. During working in Shatin, new territory, only having a short lunch break, I prefer to go for lunch sets for choices of main dish plus self service bar of various Japanese cold snacks and fruits, some fried dishes, hot snacks, Japanese soup, fried veggies, hot and cold drinks. The price is as low as from HK$88 to HK$138 for both hot and sashimi dishes of your choice. If you like Japanese sashimi, it would be a better choice than the hot dish.

Dot Cod Seafood Restaurant & Oyster Bar

It is situated at the basement of Prince Building, central, Hong Kong, The entrance is easily noticed and found parallel along side the Chater Garden. The place is well decorated, cozy ambience with warm atmosphere. We had overrun the meeting passing lunch time til 2:30 pm. Rushing out for a short trip to the restaurant and placing orders. We ordered : The chicken was juicy, the bun was soft and tasty and the fries were nice and crunchy. The linguine was cooked well with fresh basil accompanied by a few big prawns. It’s a light meal served with cherry tomatoes and onion. The food arrived within the blink of eyes. May be because it was free in the kitchen at the time. We managed to finish food and back to work at 3:30 pm. The price range is acceptable for great food and rapid service of a western restaurant in the midst of central district. #dotcod #yuppije2023 ##yuppije ##centralfoodie #urbanexplorer ##mytripvlog ##deliciousfood ##本地遊

Red Pocket Cafe on Jaffe Road Wanchai

The name attracted me to go in and find out more. This squeezed place has only a few table and occupied max of 56 people. Th decoration is great and comfy when not too many occupants. The price tends to be on relative high. Most are à la cart and only one which I ordered is the coconut chicken, a set with rice, salad, a bit of kimchi and 2-3 of jellies without drink and it costs about $70-80. Drinks order will be half of the original which is around $20. The place was getting crowded and full closed to lunch at one. So decided to find a place for an enjoyable drink instead. #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #本地遊 #mytripvlog #cafe #yuppije #yoopije2023 #wanchai #hongkong

It’s not a common name but too bad I didn’t order either of them. My choice of set lunch was half chick with roast veggies and potato wedges. The chicken was delist, soft an succulent inside. It came with daily made soup, which was carrot, and 2 pieces of warm homemade bread. Followed by again a small piece of homemade cherry cake paired with vanilla ice cream. It was just fit for a warm day today plus at last a coffee of course. It’s kind of fancy with any homemade food for me. #yuppije #yuppije2023 #wanchaifood #hongkong #B&L

Accidentally passing by K11 and look for new adventure for lunch. After look through from the front window and as the name said, this coffee shop is famous for its signature crepes. Many choices on the menu and could make one indecisive. The spinach with ham and cheese was tasty and worthwhile to try for the price. The environment with the glass window with a view of the plaza is a bonus. #yuppijemeal #yuppije2023 #coffeecrepe #yuppije #k11musea #tsimshatsui #hongkong ##K11coffeeshop

Coral Priority Banking Lounge in Bangkok airport

Well setting with English wares! This is an amazing lounge so far have visited. It was not a peak season of travel and the place was not busy. It’s quiet and beautifully arranged though not many choices of food like the old days. There was crab meat curry with Thai noodle at one corner and the other were western style snacks like one bite pastries, sandwiches and salad. It is a high class service and a must to visit next time to Bangkok. #yuppije #yuppijetrip #bkklounge #bkk2023

Seekers Finders RamaIV Hotel, SureStay Collection By BW

The hotel is only a few months old so it’s new, clean, modern equipped with all amenities any traveller would need as shown . More there are safety box, microwave, fridge, water bottles, electric kettle plus instant coffee and tea. Further rooftop with great view plus cozy designed chairs to relax. A bit disappointed with the swimming pool which is a bit small not spacious as published. Worse there is a construction going on just close to it. Worst if your room located on lower floor, the view may not be city view but neighbour’s window. it is accessible to two MRT, SiriKit and Klongtoei. It’s a kind of dream hotel at the price offered. #bkktrip2023 #yuppije #yuppijetrip #bkkhotel #seekersfinders

NASA Bangkok

A huge hotel with over 600 rooms conveniently located next to Ramkamhaeng airport link by escalator at the entrance. The room is a good size, clean with basic need at a good price. It’s a great place for either a transit to some place locally or abroad. A walk in price is as low as TB690, 790 and 1,000, very attractive. But rather have it booked via Trip.com to avoid disappointment. #yuppijetrip2023 #yuppijetripinbkk2023 #yuppije #yuppijetrip #Nasabangkok #bangkok #bangkokhotel #urbanexplorer #passionpassport #tripblazers #曼谷酒店 #泰國曼谷

Down to earth price for an authentic Thai food

Thai Coconut is located at G/F, Nam Long Shan Road Cooked Food Market. The building is obviously seen at Exit B of Wong Chuk Hang MTR station. The food stall is occupied at the far left corner from the main entrance with 2 rows of tables for about 40 guests. It is operated by the Thai couple with their son and his wife and with the help of 2 helpers. Probably it is benefit from the cheap rent, the price of the food is incredible great to consumers on top of the tasty Thai food. Needless to say, it is very popular not only to the neighbours but also the crowd from outside. It only took half an hour, the place was full up and it was kind of chaotic sound of joy from guests and loud voice from the helpers. Guests should expect some orders took a bit longer time than usual too. Recommend to go as early as 6 pm to grasp a table before the crowd gradually flush in. #yuppije2023 #復活節好去處 #yuppije #foodie #本地遊 #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip
