HELLO ENST

agnès b. CAFÉ L.P.G.

5:22 PM

This is our last night in Hong Kong so we decided to stroll around this city until late at night. We went to Gough Street because we haven't explored this area. It's quite a night and many stores already closed, but we're able to visit Homeless. Homeless is a famous lifestyle store in Hong Kong. I bought a lemon squeezer for my dad here, because my dad loves to make lemonade every morning. Hopefully he'll like it! After that, we go to agnès b. CAFÉ L.P.G. to relax our feet and have a late night snack.

agnès b. CAFÉ L.P.G. is a French self-service coffee corner. It's a nice place to relax your mind and body after a long day. agnès b. CAFÉ L.P.G. offers plenty options of delicious cakes and pastries, all items are made using the French traditional way. You can complete the dessert with a cup of coffee or tea.

Just around the corner, you can find a lot of beautiful and fresh flowers. It turns out that agnès b. have passion in flowers too, so they create agnès b. fleuriste. The interior design and everything is decorated based on influence from the romantic gardens of South of France. The florist is really a great touch to the cafe.

Unar Coffee Company & Feelsogood

2:22 AM

Continuing our day as we planned, finally we are able to find our way to Unar Coffee Company. It's a miracle that we can find this coffee place because it turns out that this place is located in Tai Hang area which is one MTR stop further from Causeway Bay. So me and Albert walk long enough to get here. We immediately ordered cold drinks because we are very thirsty. I don't drink coffee often, but I love the taste of the coffee here.

As you can see Unar Coffee Company is not like any other coffee shop. The shop is a hole-in-the-wall coffee service inspired by Europe's popular standing espresso bars. You can find a bench outside and if you're lucky you can find a seat, but if not you can mingle outside and have a drink surrounded by old residential buildings.

Unar Coffee Company have two locations in Hong Kong. One is at Tai Hang and the other one at the Tsim Sha Tsui side. I loved Tai Hang area because you can find a lot of restaurants, cafes and shops. I also enjoy strolling around this old alley. The neighbourhood is really quite and beautiful.

Just behind the Unar Coffee Company, you can find Feelsogood design shop. In here you can find retro style furniture and a lot of vintage pendant lights. Unique light bulbs and many other interesting objects can be found here as well. The things that make me so happy is that the staff is really friendly. She thought me and Albert come from Japan and she allows us to take photo in her shop. Thank you Ms. or Mrs.! Surely we will come back here.

The Coffee Academics

10:31 PM

Today is a really bright day in Hong Kong and it is really nice to stroll around this city early in morning. Sadly this is our last day in Hong Kong before we go back to our hometown tomorrow. Today we decide to go on separate group, me and Albert decided to go together to explore some areas in Hong Kong to take pictures and try a lot of foods.

First stop we went to Causeway Bay area. We decided to go to a coffee place first, because we haven't had our breakfast. We are planning to go to Unar Coffee Company, but we ended up at The Coffee Academics. I'm not good at reading maps and we don't have a GPS. We go around only by printed map that I googled before we go to Hong Kong and I didn't capture the directions properly so.. we got lost. But thank God we ended up at this place, because they served breakfast here.

As you can see from the name The Coffee Academics is a cafe that specialize in coffee. Every cup of coffee is unique and done with care to bring the experience alive. The cafe launched in 2012 and now they have five outlets in Hong Kong and soon to be open in Singapore.

The Coffee Academic offers breakfast menu, we ordered Academics Breakfast and Caesar Salad. The breakfast's okay, but the caesar salad is delicious. Albert is not a fan of vegetables, but he loves it. We have a good breakfast here and we're ready to explore Hong Kong!

Hong Kong Disneyland! (Part II)

10:50 PM

Still from Hong Kong Disneyland, we continue our journey in this magical land. After we rides many of the attractions, it's time for us to see the entertainment. The first entertainment we see is Festival of The Lion King. I always love musical and I really enjoy watching this. The song reminded me of my childhood when I watched Lion King for the first time in 1994. All the memories are still there and I love it even more now. You can watch this show at Theater in The Wild in Adventureland. The show plays four times in a day, you can check the show time at the information board in front of the theater or at the park show schedule flyer.

After we see the king of jungle, we continue our magical journey to watch The Golden Mickey. The Golden Mickey is musical show presented in the style of an awards ceremony. There are five award categories: heroism, symphony, villains, friendship and romance up for grab. All the nominations are from Disney movie character. Sadly this show has closed on July 26, 2015, but there will be a new show called "Mickey and The Wondrous Book" which will start on November 2015.

The Golden Mickey Award was opened by Pluto, Goofy and Donald Duck.

Time flies quickly here, it's nighttime already and we prepare to wait at the Main Street, U. S. A. to watch "Disney Paint the Night" Parade. When the parade began, it really lights up the night. You can see our favorite Disney's character glowing and paint the night with their magical appearance. Tonight Hong Kong Disneyland transformed into outdoor party with vibrant colors and cheerful music.

Mickey & friends made the parade finale feels complete. They really illuminate the streets of Hong Kong Disneyland. After the parade finished, we are looking for food because we are very hungry. Unfortunately it suddenly rains and we didn't bring any umbrella, so we just eat at the nearest restaurant. Luckily there is Corner Cafe around the block. Corner Cafe is a Victorian indoor diner with collection of vintage Coca-Cola memorabilia. You can taste Middle-American and Chinese comfort foods. Me and my friends decide to share our dinner, we ordered an asparagus salad and a meatball pasta.
