Tourist in my Own City / Ah Fong Shanghai Wonton Dumplings

Yesterday I had lunch at a really cozy spot near my house with a big Matisse print on the wall-- a little dumpling restaurant staffed by women where during the after lunch rush was full of lone diners like myself.

I had the "light meal" set which comes with a bowl of dumplings, your choice of side dish and a glass of soy milk for $39HKD. I opted for a comforting mug of hot Ovaltine for an extra 2 bucks since I'm trying to have less soy due to my thyroid. For the side, I chose the sweet vinegar ribs which were so delicious; tangy, savoury and sweet which went perfectly with the rice cake that came in the dumpling soup.

I read the new National Geographic about the world's first skiers. Since being back in Hong Kong I always ask for a Nat Geo subscription for my birthday, it's like getting a really informative present each month.

Wearing | Hawaiian Skirt and Cropped Tee

 I bought a whole bunch of these $10 skirts while I was thrifting with my friend Hester last week, so now I be wearing skirts errday. The weirder of our finds was this knit Hawaiian photo-print skirt and today I wore it with a Silence + Noise cropped tee and a whole bunch of accessories that I bought on a sugar-high spree after a Mad Hatter Tea Party. Then I was off to meet up with an old university friend. Though I must confess, I didn't actually wear those heels out, it was wet and gross so I wore my lesbian Birkenstocks.

Michelle is here with her boyfriend Tim, and like modern day better dressed versions of Jake and Lady Brett Ashley, the couple are on a whirlwind tour around the world South East Asia. They are the coolest, after lunch at Din Tai Fung we went trolling at the I.T Outlet, where we tried on the largest and most ridiculous parkas we could find. We refueled with some dessert and then finished the afternoon with some thrifting. Perfect day.
