Motykas in Asia 2015 Part 11 - Hong Kong

The following day we went to Tim Ho Wan, one of Hong Kong's Michelin Star restaurant. DM had an afternoon off so he was able to join us. We have a couple of Tim Ho Wans in Jakarta but I was told that the one in HK was better. Well, it's true. Now I can say that for myself.

We got to Tim Ho Wan during lunch hour so the lineup was super long.

After lunch we separated ways with DM and continued walking around in Kowloon area. We took the Dingding and walked some more.

Of course, we had to stop for HK Style Coffee... This time I already knew how to order coffee thanks to my sister!

On the street there was a guy fixing watches...

And I stopped at Starbucks to check out their tumbler collection. They have some cute Chinese New Year themed ones.

We passed by some traditional market...

And finally we arrived at Times Square... there was a store I wanted to visit there.

Tada! The Donguri Republic store! It is a Japanese store selling Studio Ghibli's paraphernalia. I was like a kid in a candy store!!

Got myself a Totoro Shawl. Yippeeee!

Got this waffles on the street.... My sister told me 10x what the name was and I forgot 11x. Sigh...

In the evening my sister's in-laws took us out for dinner at a nice Chinese restaurant. Here I ate several fried pigeons. There were several other yummy dishes too. I was so stuffed!

Thank you, Aunty and Uncle!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan. I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka because they had a sale. In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana ...
