The Brunch Club & Supper - Causeway Bay

As soon as I stepped into the Brunch Club & Supper I was reminded of my university exchange days back in Beijing. I told this to J and he couldn't help but to feel puzzled because there is nothing Chinese at the Brunch Club & Supper! The truth though is it reminded me deeply of a cafe where we used to hang out a lot in Wudaokou, the neighborhood of some of the most renowned universities in China: BLCU, Tsinghua and Peking University. With these three universities welcoming thousands of exchange students every year, the Wudaokou area is filled up with western style cafes and clubs. I unfortunately forgot the name of that particular cafe the Brunch Club & Supper reminded me of, but I remember the place very well, as well as the yummy food they served and all the good memories that remained, especially the ones with Sarah, an Australian girl with whom I became inseparable for the whole exchange period, to the point where it was difficult to see one of us if the other was not around.

Back to the Brunch Club & Supper, this is a great choice for an all-day breakfast. They have the common sets, continental or american, as well as other breakfast favorites such as eggs benedict, waffles or pancakes among others. They also have non-breakfast food like pasta or salads. We went there for brunch and J had the continental set (a very healthy choice!) while I had eggs benedict with smoked salmon (one of my favorite choices for breakfast as I already mentioned on a previous post!) along with a cup of Hot Chocolate with Almonds and Caramel. Eggs benedict + hot chocolate definitely makes for a great start to the day!

Modeling for the Hong Kong Jockey Club

Probably most of you don't know about this, because I've never mention it on the blog, but I sometimes model on my spare time. This part time job feels more like a hobby to me, specially since it usually involves modeling in nice locations or events and meeting lots of new people while having a good time. I wanted to show you a couple of pictures that are now online at the Hong Kong Jockey Club's website. For those of you who are not from Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Jockey Club is the institution providing horse racing in town. Shooting for them was a lot of fun! The photoshooting took place at Happy Valley, the racecourse in Hong Kong Island. We first took some pictures at the restaurant located on the 3rd floor, The Gallery, which specializes in Mediterranean cuisine. We were served lots of yummy food and drinks that we enjoyed while taking lifestyle pictures of the venue. We then moved on to the club, Adrenaline, where we learned how to gamble on the big electronic tables and sipped cocktails around the place.
