When decorating our home, most of us like to prioritize our personal taste and style in an effort to create a design that appeals to us the most. And although our preferences are important, having an apartment in Hong Kong often means squishing into something a bit smaller than you might be used to. Unfortunately, smaller spaces can turn out to be quite difficult to design, requiring special tactics and the right choices in order to feel larger, brighter, and more welcoming.
For gourmets with discerning taste, Hong Kong is top of mind as one of the culinary capitals of the world. One can think of dishes like perfectly roasted goose, springy beef brisket noodles, or trays of freshly steamed dim sum. From simple local delights at cha chaan teng (local cafes), to classic Cantonese dishes at dai pai dongs (street stalls), to sophisticated wine and dine at Michelin-starred restaurants, Hong Kong has it all.
Pineapple Buns are a well-known traditional Hong Kong style delicatessen and is available in many Hong Kong-style cafés and bakeries, having tourists queue up for a taste whenever they set foot in Asia’s World City.
