Hong Kong Food Porn

so during recess week, i went to on a short trip to hongkong! it was really just to get away from this tiny island and to stuff myself silly with good food. hehh. so this post will be extremely food heavy!

right after the plane landed, we checked into our hotel and went for brunch at a diner near our place. it was crammed with locals so many people kept asking us where we were from and such.

 god i love rice rolls. like, crazy in loveee.

after that we went to meet our friend and had Australian Diary!!!

honestly, how can scrambled eggs be so plain yet so darn tasty?! couldnt get enough of it!

we had dinners at random diners which smell good. so basically we walk by, smell something awesome, and stop. hahaha. did not go wrong with that method at all.

iced milk tea! it is so rare that i will choose anything over coffee but the milk tea was irresistableee. so sometimes i cave and get yinyang. best of both worlds?

my beef brisket noodles. nomnomnom.

after a long shopping trip, we ended up at Yee Shun Milk Company at Causeway.

the french toast here was epic! especially when drenched in syrup. ugh.

the last day we went on yet another chill day of shopping at Mongkok area. had a super greedy brunch to kickstart the day!

 century egg porridge.

more rice rolls.

even more rice rolls wrapped around youtiao.

and of course....BO LUO BAO!

the hot buns and ice cold butter. omggg. do they have these in singapore???

as someone with a very volatile and weak stomach, i tend to avoid street food. but the lure of hongkong street food is insane. i ended up spending much of my first night at the toilet puking but the next day i was back at it, filling my tummy with curry fishballs. hahahaha. no way will i let my lousy stomach stop me from enjoying!!! （￣ー￣）

gosh i miss the food so bad (ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ

The Factory

tonnes of new cafes and food places have been popping up at kovan like wild mushrooms. Lola Cafe has nice desserts but it gets boring after awhile. met fush and garrett for dinner at The Factory a few weeks back.

the menu was not very extensive and mostly just normal food with fries. the dips available were quite interesting though. there were curry, marmite and cheeses. i chose the marmite dip which i thought was the yummiest.

wrap with curry dip.

fish and chips with blue cheese dip.

mushroom pasta with marmite dip. the pasta was boring. i got extremely sick of it after 3 mouthfuls. not a good choice at all. the fries with the marmite dip was awesome though.

finally meeting them after so long!

will be going back to black or darker colored hair soon. that thought alone is so depressing...

The Process and Thanks

firstly, omgggg thanks everyone for the insane amount of support for my first commercial artwork!!!

i had initially printed 40 cards, thinking "well, at most i will stuff them into random mailboxes if they dont sell!"

but the same night it was all sold out and i had to go reprint them!

you guys have no idea how significant that felt to me.

to someone who has always been extremely unsatisfied and insecure with her artwork, this overwhelming support has been extremely stunning. i feel like crying. hahaha. but im a cold-hearted bitch, so no tears.

im however, really really grateful to all you guys for the love and support!

especially to Mr. Brother, who is a super supportive sibling. good job and Evil Brother Bank credits++ for convincing me to try selling my artwork, offering ideas and being sales person #1.

thanks for being so encouraging Mr. Brother & TP!

prototypes on my wall.

cutting the A3 pieces into A6! thankfully, my dad hoards tools. we have a paper cutter, laminating machine, soldering irons, woodcutting tools and almost every other shit at home. which is great, truly, cause i get to do all these shenanigans.

stamping the envelopes by hand from my handcrafted stamp!

drawing on the trunk and stars.

glitterfying and waiting for them to dry.

i will be making more random collections of my artwork soon, hope you guys will dig those too!

thanks for the loveee.

A Merry Christmas

IT IS DECEMBERRR!!!

ive been handmaking cards for a long while for my friends and this year ive decided to go digital! since it is digital, it is not as personalized as i like but seeing the design in print does have a nice sort of satisfaction.

there are 4 designs in a set.

each card is A6, on 235gsm paper.

the back of the card is empty and comes with hand-decorated brown envelopes.

you can opt to collect the cards from me when we meet or i can mail it to you!

postage within singapore costs $1(for 12 cards) so yea, not a bad option compared to meeting me for a lengthy dinner. hahaha.

Mr Original, simplicity at its best.

Mr Scarf is my favorite just cause of his fabulous red glitter scarf. hahaha.

with tangled glitter lights in his head.

carrying a mistletoe on his head = portable kissing station.

the cards are sold in multiples of 4 so you get one of each design. if for some reason you DETEST one of the designs, feel free to tell me so we can work something out. maybe you have a morbid fear of red carves idk.

do whatsapp or email me at mirukukeki@gmail.com if youre interested!

major love and thanks for supporting my art work! ♥
