Let’s start with the core question of this article – “When was the last time you explored your own city as if you were a tourist?”
This is one thing I’ve noticed very often (and also find funny) – many of us rarely explore our own city like we would a vacation destination. I’ve been a culprit of this as well – I had never been on a houseboat despite being from Alappuzha. My first time exploring the town was with college friends – I was the “local” guiding them!
Same story in Mumbai where I lived for 5 years. The only Mumbai I knew was my home in Chembur, my school in Mankhurd and the few places we used to visit frequently like temples, markets and restaurants. Now I’m looking forward to a Mumbai visit to explore it as a tourist!
To avoid such a thing happening in my current home – Bangalore, we make it a point to explore the city “like a tourist” whenever we get the chance.
Hong Kong is a foodie’s paradise! With various cultures from across the world coming together, it is a true melting pot when it comes to food. While we’ve covered most of the food places in previous blogs, we will summarize all the iconic foods and places we ate them in this blog. This is for the Hong Kong foodie!
Breakfast at Australia Dairy Company
On our last day in Hong Kong, we said goodbye to our friend, Naveen and made our way down the escalators one last time. We headed straight to the Australia Dairy Company for breakfast. There was a long line outside the restaurant but it moved fast. We quickly got a table and ordered Hong Kong style milk tea, mixed coffee and tea with milk, milk pudding, french toast and sandwich with egg and ham. Everything was so fresh and tasty that we ordered another sandwich with eggs and cheese!
