Fab Four in Hong Kong (Day 1)

A quick trip to Hong Kong will always have the four F's: fashion, food, equals fun with friends. I was with three very different girls who got along terrifically well. Lawyer Tunting Cruz Matters has always been one of my personal idols, and Tina Maristela Ocampo is already a living style legend, and of course, my best pal Angelette Calero is the perfect travel buddy.

On the train from the airport, Tunting looks around incredulously. She hadn't been to the former crown colony in about a decade!

Waiting in line outside a popular noodle place. We were so hungry we didn't note down the name of the restaurant! It is in the iTower on Nathan Road.

With a quirky papier mâché doll. Is there a slight resemblance?

Stacked shelves form a wall on one side of chic cafe Half/Full.

Angel and I shared a yummy waffle treat.

Tunting makes new friends. (with some funny costumes!)

Brit wit. Tina and Tunting and Wallace and Grommit.

Uniqlo rocks. Especially the J+ line by Jil Sander!

Louis Vuitton display of orange hot air balloons brings back the quaintness of travel's early days, but Angelette seems to think the wall is a door.
