{eating out} KAFKA Sweets & Gourmandises 卡夫卡, Taipa, Macau

Consider this a mini version of the  {eating out} series, a sort of small bites thing. Kafka Sweets & Gourmandises is a new coffee in Taipa island and as any recently opened f&b operation, it is still fine tuning details. However its unusual (for this city) sleek and minimalist design, the communal table and an enthusiast staff obliged me to give it a shoot out.

This cake and coffee house opened only this past December nonetheless the local chinese* community has receive it with open arms, perhaps because of their more HongKong/Asian style features like toasts with whipped cream and strawberries or chocolate covered waffles with banana and mikado.

{eating out} Heirloom - Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

heirloom /ˈe(ə)rˌlo͞om

1. A valuable object that has belonged to a family for several generations

2. Heritage - inheritance

3. Something of special value handed on from one generation to another

This particular Heirloom it´s not a cafe, and its not fine dining. It´s an eatery. That is the leit motif  of mexican Ashton Winkler & Indonesian Vivian Herijanto, co-owners and chefs of this lovely newish secret garden. To make you feel home at their intimate, enthralling and stylish little corner where everything exudes coolness. Pura buena vibra as we would say back home.

{Macau walks} vol4: Scenes at the park (Old Taipa Houses)

This past tuesday (or was it wednesday?) I lift my eyes up to the sky, it was quite clear; then I checked and double checked this site and I realized that sunny day would be probably the last one for in at least 2 weeks. So, I quickly changed my plans for that day and instead of some paperwork and emails that I had to fill and reply I gave myself a mini-me picnic time at the park.

Completely inspired by my healthy lifestyle resolutions I assembled a vegetables wrap in no time. An apple and an freshly pressed oj  came alone as well. 

My lunch was quite short in time to be honest, since I dressed lightly, when the sun started to go down I began to feel chilly. I moved alone and continue walking around what I like to call my neighborhood (although technically speaking I am not quite sure if it is my neighborhood)  and with the risk to sound like a boring broken vinyl record I think  the Old Taipa Town & Houses is one of my favorite spots to wander.
