Hummingbird 瘋鳥

I still hadn't learned by lesson from last week's café visits in the 3˚C weather (I went to Zi 只 with Pinky and Feed Your Nerves 神經餵飼 with Jason), and decided to wear summer clothes again the next weekend. Yep, I never learn. On camera, my pants look warm, reaching up to my ankles and all - but they were made of really thin material and let in all the air... so basically I was wearing nothing but my underwear.

At least it wasn't down to single digit temperatures though... but still seriously cold. Jason and I went all the way to Cheung Sha Wan to check out a café called Hummingbird 瘋鳥. It looked really nice on Instagram photos but the place was just so-so.

Feed Your Nerves 神經餵飼

On the same day as my lunch date with Pinky at Zi, also known as the coldest day in Hong Kong in nearly 60 years (it was down to 1˚C in some places!), I checked out yet another café with Jason in the afternoon. Again, I'd been meaning to visit this place for a while, and so far, it's my favourite. Feed Your Nerves 神經餵飼 serves a range of delicious looking food, which we didn't try because we both had had lunch already, so we had coffee and tea. They have a typical café dining area downstairs and a really relaxed room where you can basically chill out upstairs, filled with knick-knacks they had on sale. The best part? It was super warm upstairs!

Zi 只

Hong Kong experienced the coldest day in nearly 60 years... on a day I had planned to wear a dress. It was down to 3˚C and it was torture. I don't know why I did what I did - okay, I do know, I wanted to take pretty pictures in pretty cafés, stfu lol. But I braved the cold anyway (to be fair, I wore a lot of jackets and changed to jeans in the evening) and met up with Pinky, who I last caught up with when we went to Healthy Chicken.

This time, I brought her to a little café I'd been meaning to check out for ages by the name of Zi 只. It was pretty hard to locate in Tsim Sha Tsui as it was an upstairs café and the entrance of the building it was in was super hidden. The service was really good though - run by young people who looked our age - but it was seriously way to cold to really enjoy ourselves.

Café Inside

Café Inside has been around since my first year of Architecture - I think it either opened in late 2011 or in 2012, but all this time I'd never tried it. The reason was because my seniors went at the time and said that the food was terrible, and I suppose I was never that interested in its cute decor anyway. Until now. Because I'm constantly stuck around school (actually to be honest I was around more when I was doing my Architecture degree...), and I'd already been to Ethos numerous times, I finally decided to give it a try. I actually went back twice because the first time I couldn't get good photos. Look at Sarah and me - don't we look awkward? The photos of Clar and me too... I think the shopkeepers are just terrible photographers.

White Button Café

So you can probably guess why I was in a café in Tsim Sha Tsui with my Mum by now - because I had a mole removal appointment! Yep, the only time my Mum agrees to cross the Hong Kong harbour thanks to the expensive transport costs. I wanted to try out a new café on this cold and rainy day and White Button Café was becoming pretty popular lately. They're like a mixture of a coffee shop and a restaurant, cos they charge 10% for service, but the vibe is pretty casual. Or maybe it was because it was past lunch hour on a weekday, because all the photos I'd seen prior to going showed it packed. The food was nice though and pretty worth its value, I'd say!

Nightscape 2050 & Pregio by Barista Caffe

Research tells me that 2015 was the International Year of Lights, which was actually a global initiative adopted by the United Nations! That I didn't know though when I visited the Nightscape 2050 exhibition held by Lighting Planners Associates in Artistree. Jason and I were just looking for a place for tea before we parted ways for dinner, and as I'm a huge fan of Artistree, I decided to check the place to see if there were any current exhibitions. We were lucky it was an architectural one! After, we stopped by Pregio by Barista Caffe for chocolate waffles. :)
