Here goes! Before my surgery, I did a lot of research on the recovery period and braced myself for the storm to come. But when it came... Read The Post The post Double jaw surgery appeared first on CHARMAINE NG ..read more

Compared to many countries around the world, Hong Kong has handled the coronavirus fairly well. Still, I’ve been staying home a lot this year, to protect myself and those around me. This means a lot less café-hopping and a lot more lounging around. On one particular occasion, bored out of my wits at home, I set up a tripod and... Read The Post The post Spending time at home appeared first on CHARMAINE NG ..read more

A month ago, I entered a giveaway and won an afternoon tea experience at The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong. Tbh I’m not even an afternoon tea fan, but c’mon, who am I to turn down a free meal at The Ritz? But first, some selfies… Anyway, to secure a table, I made a reservation a month in advance. When the day... Read The Post The post The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong appeared first on CHARMAINE NG ..read more

Since moving in late August, I’ve taken a liking to Soho East due to its proximity to my new home. The laidback neighbourhood, located in Sai Wan Ho, features a range of waterfront restaurants, bars and cafés. Flanked by a park and a promenade, it is quite the destination for nearby residents and visitors during the weekend. One of my... Read The Post The post The Salted Pig appeared first on CHARMAINE NG ..read more

A year ago, I would go café hopping whenever the weekend rolled around. But now, thanks to the pandemic, this hobby of mine has become almost nonexistent. Whereas I used to go out every week, I now go out once a month or even once every two months. On one special occasion, donning a face mask and a bottle of... Read The Post The post Artisan Café appeared first on CHARMAINE NG ..read more

If you’re a longtime reader of this blog, you’ll know that I love all things minimal. Somewhere along the lines, though, I started developing a penchant for vintage ~*aesthetics*~ But! Before I start, here’s a picture of me in my dress ? I got it from Cotton On during a sale, if I’m not wrong. Okay, let’s continue… While recovering... Read The Post The post Parc Antique & Lifestyle appeared first on CHARMAINE NG ..read more

Last December, my workplace took us to The Repulse Bay for a Christmas team lunch. While I was unimpressed by the food (it was edible at best), I fell in love with the architecture and interior. Dining at The Repulse Bay isn’t cheap, so I stayed well away from the place. But still unable to forget about it half a... Read The Post The post The Repulse Bay appeared first on CHARMAINE NG ..read more

When I imagined my birthday this year, I didn’t think it’d be smack right in the middle of a global outbreak. Not that it changes anything, of course. I stopped feeling excited for my birthday years ago. I do not need to be reminded that I’m getting older by the day. Anyway, here’s how I spent my special day! House... Read The Post The post My birthday in the midst of a pandemic appeared first on CHARMAINE NG ..read more
