Sai Kung

-
This years Hong Kong was great because I visited a place
called 'Sai Kung - 西貢'. I love this place! Sai Kung is
actually in my opinion a nice place for tourists
because of the beaches, the laid-back small restaurants/cafe's
and the peaceful, not-so-populated areas. Hence the
many Western people that I've spot here. Even Dutch
people haha.

Sai Kung is also famous for their fish markets and seafood,
which is also another reason why I love Sai Kung!

My day in Sai Kung was rainy and wet and wore
(a-hum) my 'superfancy' yet futuristic-ish raincoat all
day long (I've kept it as souvenir because of the memories that was
created with). Even tho we barely saw any blue skies,
the fluffy, foggy, smokey air was worthy enough to re-visit
SK. And. I had a great lunch - enjoy my pictures!

I regret for not filming it and make it into a gif. image, because it was literately pouring hell. 

 Dangerous skilled photographer than I am. 
I thought she dressed up lovely c: - yay for the sun coming up! Even you lasted for 2 minutes...
The fishmarkets takes places on these boats. After you have decided which fish 
you want, the seller place your order into this long net and hoover it up for you. You place the payment back into
the net and your deal is done. 

 Straight into my soul. 

 20 bucks for the SPCA. They sure know how to 'use' the dogs. 
I have never had these 'mantis prawns' before but my dad says they are delicious. 

 People in HK want their food as fresh as possible. All type of seafood are maintain in fishtanks for longer freshness. 
 Then it started to train.

    Awwww, those dogs are way too cute :3 - and in very healthy condition ♥ they know how to take good care of them ♥
    The mantis prawns also look kind of...scary o.O...like a prehistoric animal!
    It's rainy season in Asia, you can see the humidity in every photograph (*.*)

    Ik wil echt een keertje naar de vismarkt in Sai Kung gaan.
    Het lijkt mij zo leuk om dat een keer te ervaren!
    De zeevruchten zien er zo lekker uit haha. Mijn zusje houdt heel erg van ' mantis shrimp '.
    Ik ben er niet zo gek op :p

    Your photos are so lovely and I would have loved to visit Sai Kung with you! According to the aquarium near me, mantis prawns have a punch similar to a bullet. I didn't know you could eat them. :o

DIY: Crochet Miniature Cinnamon Rolls

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten.
