In the past 3 months it feels like it's rained more in Hong Kong than the entire year I spent in London. I know, so drama-rama right? But seriously, Hong Kong needs to sort this weather shit out because the clouds are really bumming me out. The sun decided to peek it's cheeky face over the weekend for a bit, so I took the opportune moment to gander about in my Lacoste espadrilles from their 80th Anniversary collection. So here I am, wearing nothing black for once, in the perfect summer shoes (that seem to blend in rather seamlessly with the stone floor, ooooopzzz).

BKK

Soul Food Mahanakorn

Looking back now it's hard to believe that all this eating, aquarium-visiting and market-going took place on one day. The last time I'd been to Bangkok was when I was a kid, so up until last weekend my only impression of the place was pretty much scenes from Hangover 2.

One of the best Thai meals I've ever had took place in Soul Food Mahanakorn - a small restaurant in the super swankehhh area of Thonglor. My favorites include curried noodles with beef brisket and this omg grilled eggplant salad served with duck eggs and a zesty-spicy-epic dressing - a meal (and cocktails) I'd gladly fly back to BKK for. Other highlights include the humungomous aquarium (underneath a MALL?) and my melty spa session at Centara Grand Hotel. Long weekends done right.

I got Seoul

Grilled kalbi tacos with kimchi salsa - one of the best things I've eaten in my life. HK needs a Grill5taco NOW

K-pose ^_^

I'm not sure why it took me so long to plan a trip to Seoul. Considering it's only a 3 hour flight away and Korean food being my for-sure, forever favorite cuisine, it was only a matter of time before I visited the mother land of all that is yummy in this world. And it was exactly as I imagined - skin care galore, cutie shops and seriously good food. There were still a few surprises; everyone speaks fluent put-you-to-shame mandarin, they really love their Americanos and ajumas are weirdly aggressive when it comes to subway seats. I can't believe this trip was only a month ago because I'm totally ready to go again. 5 epic meals a day, the coolest bar in the world and an abundance of facial sheet masks - why not?
