PASTRY PASSION JA LOCATION PROFESSIONAL
I went totally nuts seeing all the kitchen gadgets, equipment and tools for the professional chef. Yesterday I decided to go to JB Prince in Manhattan to buy some chocolate molds and some pastry toys. I will also blog about my adventures in Hong Kong Island - both personally and from a culinary perspective. I will try to test out my oven and see what I can do out of it. As much as I want to work, our OB here advised me to take it easy. It is ridiculous the amount of people specially in Central & Causeway Bay.I am not even talking about the tourist spots on the Kowloon side but more so the place where Hong Kongers live. If you think it is a jungle walking the streets of Manhattan during rush hour.you haven't seen anything yet like HK. HK Island is like Manhattan but with A LOT LOT LOT more people.this is no joke. Given the pregnancy, everything for me is sensory overload. I will post a picture of the oven so you can see what I am talking about. Very different.maybe this is an opportunity for me to create "mini-me's" of my work in NY.hahaha. This is no joke, some of my baking pans won't fit the oven. With space as a premium, my oven in out apartment here is probably just 1/4 the size of my LG in NY. Hence space is a premium in this very, very vertical city. Dear friends, HK is one of the most populated cities in the world.something to the tune of 60,000/sq ft or sq m.can't recall but something ridiculous. When the movers here in HK started to bring our air shipment to our apartment, they were scratching their heads with the amount of boxes destined for the kitchen.
Now in HK, we have more "chores" as we have to get our apartment here in the Mid-Levels to be our home in HK at least for the next coming years.Īs you can imagine, we had a lot of moving boxes marked "Kitchen". You can just imagine the never ending "chores" we had to do to make us "ready" to move our home, our life to HK. Yes, I am expecting and I'm on my 4th month. On top of the new job for my husband, new work & home location for us.we have actually been blessed as well with the coming of our 1st child. Since then, we have been on a whirlwind of never ending things to do - find a home in Hong Kong, decide what we will be bringing to HK or what we will leave in storage, sell our cars, see our friends/family, fix our apartment in New York so we can rent it out, etc. If you noticed, my last posting was May which was the time we found out of my husband's new assignment with Pepsi and we had to be based in HK by July. My husband and I actually relocated to Hong Kong.yes Hong Kong in the Far East. We had to visit our new location and find our new "home". I actually have been travelling frequently as my husband got a new role overseas. I apologize for my absence in blogging these past few months. Here are some of the foods that we're binging on last Christmas: 20+ hrs from NYC last year to get to Manila.priceless and price savings!!! =) And with a 90 minute flight from Manila, it's definitely my home away from home.happy to be close to family and friends. With the decorations, nice weather, off course endless shopping makes HK a perfect winter destination for people in Manila. During the season, the weather is nice and cool with temps dropping to the low teens C. The city certainly does celebrate the holiday, gets into the spirit of things, spruce up the malls where you can hear Christmas carols playing in the air. Though the HK's main religion is not Catholicism, most residents are keen to celebrate Christmas. At first, I was a bit apprehensive and reluctant to spend the Holidays in Hong Kong as I spend every Holiday season in Manila.
Usually, we would go home to Manila for the Holidays, but with my baby due soon, we decided to stay put here. This year's Christmas was extra special mainly because I celebrated it with my hubby in HK.
