A quiet baking moment



Sunday afternoons are just made for relaxing...and making shortbread. Actually, it's the first time I've ever baked cookies in Hong Kong but there's always a first time for everything. Found this cute idea in a new book I bought. Button shortbread. Actually looks better than it tastes!

A new shopping experience


It's been a while since I have been interested in daring the crowds at Causeway Bay on a friday night after work. I've heard so much about these new 'cubic shelves' which you can hire to sell things. Apparently, the concept came from Japan and now it's the latest craze over here in Hong Kong. The concept is simple, you hire a shelf unit for a minimum of a month and the shop will help you take care of the transactions. Prices start from around HK$380 per month depending on the level it is. Natually, the most expensive are the ones at eye level which could fetch as much as HK$1388.

I've taken a few snapshots to show you what's on offer. But I have no idea what is selling like hot cakes yet...

The kind of thing that are on sale are things like jewellery, Rubic's cubes, toys, clocks and even plants.



This last one is jammed packed full of Hello Kitty memorabilia - most likely to have been imported from Japan.
