Hong Kong also known as fragrant port, was under the British rule for a century. I would say that this definitely makes them special, being one of the two city in the world that have the fusion of the east and the west, with the other being Istanbul. Hong Kong is a worthy place to visit and see, checking out the culture and the food, the Asian style with a hint of the western. A very good example would be the Cha Can Ting, Hong Kong style tea house, similarly to the brits, the tea culture is embedded in the Hongkongers daily lives, from the rich and wealthy ones having tea in the 3 star Michelin Lung King Heen to the working peeps who have their “三点一刻” tea break in the Cha Can Ting, a glass of milk tea and having a bun or an egg tart. As you may have known, Hong Kong is known to be a food paradise, from street food to Michelin Restaurants!

After a long day of travelling, there is no better place to spend the evening than dining out in London, especially in Soho or at the Oxford street area. It is actually so nice to dine out in London, of course with similarly prices to match. It is just so nice to see Londoners, up in the game, work hard play hard. I especially love their attitude in life, not like us in Singapore. Living the life and relaxing over dinner or drinks once working hours is over. It’s no difference from the weekends actually as you will see people gathering or dining out in the evening. Alright, after unpacking and washing up, I head off to grab some dinner. Daylight is getting short, tired and empty in stomach, food was the first tick off the night. Prior to my trip I have researched on Fish & Chips in London, seriously, you can’t come to the land of Fish & Chips and leave without trying some! Golden Union Fish Bar came out on some of my goggling and reviews from other blogs and articles that I have read so that was the place for tonight. Although it seems like a short walk from my hotel to the restaurant, it turns out to be quite long actually, easily a 30 mins walk. The walk was nice actually, being the interested one, I am always looking around, admiring the gorgeous Londoners and also the glam beautiful streets, houses and cars. London is a rich place and you can’t deny that! Look at these pictures, the streets in London are simply gorgeous! On my way to the restaurants I also passed by lots of beautiful and known restaurants, such as the Wild Honey. My first impression is that London is really a wealthy country and a great place to stay in.
