Flower market - Prince Edward Hong Kong

-
Spring is in and what better way to celebrate this weather than surrounding yourself with nature's beauty. And we did exactly that by making our way to the flower market in Prince Edward on the weekend. Being surrounded by the sweet fragrance of lilies as I type this makes me believe it was the right decision I am just thankful for the warmer weather where everything is in full bloom right now.

This was the first time we (almost) fully explored the market. One side of the market is dedicated to potted plants, both exotic and local. You can find house plants, flowers like orchids, roses, and more, herbs, and even vegetable and  fruits. You can buy seeds, small or fully grown plants, there is something for everyone. The other side of the market has the most gorgeous plants in every colour possible. While some are kept in a simple bucket of water some have their own temperature controlled area to keep them fresh longer and longer. 

This is also a place where you can find garden supplies like fertilizers, insect repellents, potting soil, tools, pots, garden decor and so much more. While found some shop keepers to be rude, there are many who were welcoming, spoke English and even gave us a discount. We picked up a range of stuff like the huge glass vase (for HKD 30! can you believe it?) on the right and some tool (HKD 25) and plants below. One of the shops are the begening of the market was also selling accessories, clay statues, painting, interesting jewelry boxes (pictured below) and even rugs.  

Getting there - The flower market is located on the flower market road. You can take the MTR and get off at Prince Edward on the red line. If you are taking the bus, Mong Kok Police station is one of the stops you can get down at.

The lane next to the market is lined with bars and restaurants. The street across houses another open air shopping markets for all your fashion needs. If you want to make a day out of it you can check out the nearby areas of Sham Shi Po and Mong Kok.

Timings - 9.30 am - 7.30 pm, but many vendors start packing around 7 pm. Some prefer to go earlier in the morning, I personally prefer to go earlier in the evening post 4pm.

Enjoy your trip to the Flower market

Hair washing and blow drying aren’t the only culprits behind those stray hairs in the sink; breakage can lead to excessive hair loss in damaged hair. The new Syoss Anti-Hair Fall* Fiber Resist 95 range with phyto stem cell extract strengthens and fortifies brittle hair. Hair will then grow long and strong again, boasting its usual natural shine and manageable texture.  The Science The new Syoss Anti-Hair Fall* Fiber Resist 95 strengthens the hair from root to tip. It does this with help from a phyto stem cell extract derived from botanical stem cells, which stimulates the hair’s energy metabolism in the roots where the hair grows. This in turn activates the roots. For best results, use both the shampoo and conditioner. This will lead to 95% less hair loss caused by hair breakage.

Food Review - Circle Café

Circle Café has proudly joined the re-invention club and launched a new menu recently and I'm going to give you a low down on how well they scored. Tucked away into the quite Business Bay square in downtown Dubai, Circle Café is a cosy hidden gem. The simple and elegant interiors give a very relaxed home feel which makes the food more enjoyable. Let's get down to business then..First up were the Bagel chips. As the name suggests they were thinly sliced baked Bagel chips served with a Tarama Truffle dip. From the first bite I knew this dish was going to be in my top three for the night. They were so crisp and light that I couldn't stop munching. The zatar type seasoning gave it the perfect amount of subtle flavour. For those with a preference for stronger taste, the dipping sauce gives it a unexpected punch which grows on you with every bite. Next was the Whole Wheat Salmon Pasta followed by the Circle Greek Salad, both of which are healthy options but low on the seas

Food Review - Carluccio's and Bloomsbury Review

 The Dubai Mall has numerous hidden gems and every time I go there I stumble upon something new. A little pop up shop or cafe situated in some corner of the mall can always surprise. The places I tried this week aren't very hidden, but this was the first time I tried them. I did come across a new home store where I've never been before, but today we'll stick to Carluccio's and Bloomsbury. Carluccio's as the name suggest is Italian. You have two seating options, one facing the fountain and the other facing the mall (see image below). The service was friendly and quick considering the fact that it was a Thursday. We ordered two pizzas, a pasta and a salad. The margarita was thin crust, soft, chewy and pretty good. They did not have any options in chicken pizza's so we ordered for grilled chicken topping with our pizza., the result chicken strips on top of the same Margarita pizza. It din't taste bad, cause it still taste the same with just chicken on to
