Adventure # 1 - Hong Kong November 2013

It was a spur-of-the-moment, let's-go-to-somewhere kind of a thing when we decided to purchase our plane tickets for Hong Kong. It was a country I've been to twice, prior to this trip— Once, when I was four, where I went with my parents, and the next with a large group of college friends back in 2010. We were 10 in the group and it was so much chaotic and fun!

This time around, the four of us packed our bags to go visit a friend, who's currently studying in SCAD HK. This trip was filled with amazing experiences, including a highly exciting (but scary), non-documented trip to the hospital.



I would really love one of these things displayed in my kitchen.

This was an amazing experience—We were first in line to Ocean Park that day and the four of us mad-rushed to the Thrill Mountain to get our butts on Hair Raiser— Ocean Park's floorless rollercoaster suspended above the South China Sea. This was us in a practically empty ride, with zero expectations having never seen it in action before. We rode it twice.

Adventure # 0 - Mr. Jones, Greenbelt 5

The decision to have dinner here all stemmed from a sudden milkshake craving of my officemate. The ambiance looked incredibly warm and inviting, immediately resonating a strong American diner feel. Plus, there were games outside to pass the time while you wait for your food—mini foosball sets lined the outdoor tables, mason jars filled with a jack stones and pick-up-sticks were arranged neatly behind the reception podium. 

Here's our milkshakes, getting ready to be served to us!

Behold the milkshake I ordered. Hapa Howly—White chocolate with Khalua. I loved every slurp of it as it wasn't too sweet nor was the alcoholic taste of the Khalua overpowering.
However, it would be perfect if it were thicker.
Eggs "Benny" 2 Ways— the salmon was really good. 
Wicked Truffled Mac n' Cheese— I am SUCH a sucker for truffle anything.
