penang’s best kopi peng, in a retro coffeeshop ☕️💞 📍Starbright Coffee Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia “kopi peng” is the local name for iced coffee with condensed milk. Due to the bean roasting and preparation process, Malaysian coffee has a robust flavor and dark, rich chocolately color. The kopi peng at Starbright Coffee was super smooth and ridiculously delicious 😋 . . . . #malaysia#penang#kopitiam#penangtrip
📌Save this post for the upcoming Seoul cherry b 📌Save this post for the upcoming Seoul cherry blossom season💞 You can experience head to toe cherry blossoms at this bridge in Seoul! 📍서울숲꽃사슴방사장 Naver link + more info on how to get here on my blog: https://globalclaire.com/seoul-cherry-blossom/ This bridge is located in Seoul Forest, which is further out in the Seongsu area. Seoul Forest has lots of spring flowers and cherry blossom lined paths. However, my favorite spot is this footbridge. This is the best place for cherry blossoms as you can be fully immersed in the cherry blossom trees! Check out my last reel if you want another incredible cherry blossom spot that is easier to get to in the Hapjeong area. . . . . #koreatravel#cherryblossom#seoul#seoultravel
My #1 recommended spot for Seoul cherry blossoms 🌸 Save this post if you’re visiting Seoul during cherry blossom season💞 📍 희우정로 Naver link on my blog: globalclaire.com/seoul-cherry-blossom This street is a short walk away from the Hapjeong subway station, and is a long street filled with trees so it doesn’t feel crowded at all. I recommend going before sunset, so you can see the day view of these cherry blossoms. Get some dinner then head back to this street at night which offers a completely different vibe as the cherry blossoms get illuminated underneath the street lights. This is close to Hongdae and Mangwon so even if you go when the cherry blossoms aren’t at peak bloom, you will still have plenty to do around the area.
Vegetarian restaurant with large dim sum menu in K Vegetarian restaurant with large dim sum menu in Kuala Lumpur Dim sum is available from 11-2:30 on weekdays or 8-2:30 on weekends. Highly recommended restaurant with delicious food and an extensive menu. This is a fully vegetarian restaurant, so all the dim sum and normal zi char dishes are vegetarian as well! Recommended: Xiao Long Bao Spiced salt hericium Pumpkin tofu (contains eggs) 📍 Tian Xiang Yuan Vegetarian Restaurant 天香苑 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia . . . . . #kualalumpur#malaysiatravel#klfoodie#klvegetarian#vegetarian#vegetariantravel#vegetarianfoodie

These are durians that fell off the tree before it could develop into a full size durian. So cute!! 🥰 📍Durian BB Park @durianbbpark . . . . #durian#kualalumpur#malaysiatravel#klfoodie #malaysiafood
Vegetarian cheap/budget eats in Hong Kong🌱🇭🇰 There are quite a few Chinese veg & dim sum restaurants in HK, however most have a service charge + tea charge on top of each (main) dish already costing 80-100+ HKD each. Here’s what I ate in HK that is budget friendly! Full details on my blog: globalclaire.com/hk-veg for Google Maps link, menu pics, and additional info! I also linked some other restaurants that I didn’t get to try (as well as more expensive restaurants as well) Food spots mentioned in this post: Paradise Veggie 香港佛光道場滴水坊 Kung Wo Beancurd Factory Northern Dumpling Yuan Nom Nom Dumpling Hana Musubi Fung Mei Steam Food Kam Wah Cafe Chung Kee Congee Puff Life . . . . #hongkongfood #vegetarian #vegetariantravel #hongkongfoodie #hongkongvegetarian #hongkongvegan #hongkongtravel
Locations below ⬇️ Where to see Hong Kong’s Locations below ⬇️ Where to see Hong Kong’s remaining neon signs in Mongkok 📌Save this post to visit the remaining neon lighted signs while you still can! Locations from first few clips: 📍Changsha & Portland St 📍Argyle & Portland St 📍Wo Hing Victory Mahjong 🎥 All clips taken with @osmo_global DJI Osmo Pocket 3. The low light performance is quite amazing 🥰 Most of Hong Kong’s neon lights have been taken down or replaced with LEDs due to government safety regulations. Although the streets of Hong Kong may not look the same as they did in the 70s, or even a decade ago, with some searching, there’s are a few lighted signs you can hunt for on and around Nathan Road/in the Mongkok area. . . . . . #osmoawards#hongkongneon #hongkongphotography#neonlights #osmopocket#hongkongtravel#hongkong
Unique Hong Kong Souvenir: Cha Chaan Teng Cup If Unique Hong Kong Souvenir: Cha Chaan Teng Cup If you want to recreate the CCT aesthetic at home, you can pick up a CCT style cup and saucer set while in Hong Kong! 📌Save this post for travel planning and follow @globalclaire for more travel finds 💓 Most cha chaan tengs use the Black & White brand cup. (Black & White is the condensed milk/evaporated milk brand most CCTs in Hong Kong use) This is cheapest and easiest to find at: 📍Shanghai St Most stores have a sign for it outside or have it on display. Depending on the style, it will cost 50 - 119 HKD. Since all the restaurant supply stores are next to each other, you can compare from different stores before buying. Fun fact: when my family went to HK many years ago and I asked them to get me the cups, they had to beg CCT owners to sell them a set because Shanghai St didn’t sell them at the time. 😅 📍Hak Dei This store will have the red/green rimmed cups that are the second most-used in CCTs after the Black & White brand cups. It is 24 HKD for a set. 📍Temple St Night Market The stall selling Black & White brand cups are more expensive here, but you can find other CCT items that I haven’t seen anywhere else! The tumbler that I got is from a limited edition release. I think the uncle who runs the stall is there everyday except Wednesday. #chachaanteng#hongkongshopping#hongkongtravel
Favorite vintage homeware store in Hong Kong: Hak Favorite vintage homeware store in Hong Kong: Hak Dei Welcome to Episode 9 of my Retro Hong Kong Series 💞 📍Save this spot for your travel planning! Hak Dei has a variety of interesting retro (and some actual vintage) homewares including cups, bowls, spoons. I especially love their selection of tea cups and matching saucers. They had some of the last remaining hand painted rooster bowls in Hong Kong. I visited a few days before deciding on what to purchase, and the stock changed day to day - so if you see something you want (especially vintage items), buy it then! 👀🛍️ I could only get one matching plate for the 2 floral rice grain tea cups I got. 📍Hak Dei Check their Instagram for hours and location: @waichistreetplayground . . . . . #hongkongshopping#vintageshop#hongkongtravel#hongkongvintage where to shop in hong kong, vintage shopping hong kong
