Following on from Eating in Hong Kong Part 1 and Part 2… We got up early to visit the Big Buddha on Lantau Island. To get there, we had to purchase tickets on the Ngong Ping cable car and I was really thankful that we’d purchased them online from Klook. When we arrived at station, […] Read more…
Some friends and I met up to try the ribs at Mills and Grills in Florey. The store is mainly a take away joint but does have two small tables inside. The two types of ribs available are either pork or lamb and smothered in a smokey BBQ sauce and char-grilled. As we were in […] Read more…

Also awarded 2 Michelin stars, Amber […] Read more…
