(mango royale salad, carrot coriander soup, baked NZ mussels, baked salmon, paella rice, mango bravo)
after partying in Hong Kong till 4am and a flight to catch for the Philippines at 6am, falling asleep wouldn't be the best idea so i pulled an all nighter and watched the sunrise.
with the flight being only an hour and a half, the deprivation of sleep began to kick in.
fortunately i was welcomed to a hearty meal at one of my favorite restaurants in the Philippines called Conti's a delicious Filipino fusion cusine that has hands down the best Mango Dessert.
I then got a hot stone massage at Rodeo Spa for dirt cheap.
I was literally passed out by the time my massage started and my jetlag was finally kicking in and so i slept the whole night to catch up from all the travel and lack of rest.
of course I was awake before dawn, but I fell back to sleep by watching an excellent quality bootleg DVD (something you can easily find here) of The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons.
It's not that I'm a "clubber" i just like to drink, get down, and have a good time. I don't mind a bar/lounge or something chill because I'm such a social butterfly.. but I love to dance.
Believe me I have my moments where I'm over the scene (haha.. maybe one too many of them) but then I'll go through a phase and just want to party.
So I've been to Hong Kong many times before and have never checked out the nightlife.. and might I say, they sure get down here. :)
Soho and Lan Kwai Fong are definitely the spots if you want to check out hip, trendy nightclubs filled with gorgeous people that ooze with style. You can find the streets filled with expats, foreigners and locals having a good time.
We first had dinner at Tsui Wah- the Denny's in Hong Kong which has 3 levels packed with people eating. Then hit up Azure to start the night with drinks and a breathtaking view of the city's skyline. Chilled at Racks.. a pool house that plays amazing music until things started to get real busy at Beijing right below.
And talking about Asian invasion, this place is definitely crackin'. I felt 18 all over again feeling like a sardine, however, there's a very fun vibe of partygoers and people enjoying the action of the 3 floors this mega club has for music and dancing.
The party doesn't stop in a city like this and we stayed up and hung out at the Flying Pan another 24 hour joint nearby.
With a flight to catch in a few hours, I figured I might as well go all out and got my drunken meal at McDonalds and stayed up. Anyway, thanks to the folks at hypebeast for showing me around.. fun, fun times! :)
