One of my favorite things to eat is dim sum and combine that with Hello Kitty is a dream come true for me. I have been to various Hello Kitty themed places and this one has ought to be one of the best. 

Right upfront is a well decorated Hello Kitty exterior with a touch of modern wood planks. 

Once you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by a mini Hello Kitty figurine and well-lit eating area. 

I know it sound like a broken record every time I say how much I love and adore Hello Kitty but I just can't help it. 

I had tons of fun looking around and taking in how well they have incorporated the interiors of the restaurant with their theme. 
From its wall decorations to its lamp and utensils, Hello Kitty is the star which made me really happy. 








The food even comes in Hello Kitty designs. Just look how cute these shrimp dumplings and steamed buns are! 



They are pretty tasty too and can fairly compete with some traditional dim sum places out there. 


I love their tea set! If I were to host a tea party it'll surely come with Hello Kitty saucers, tea cups, and kettle. 

All in all, I had a pretty amazing time here in Hello Kitty Dim Sum Restaurant in Hong Kong. Although, it is a bit pricey, I still think it's worth it because it is a well built restaurant and the food is pretty tasty. 

The only downside to this restaurant is that it is hard to find. We walked for almost an hour trying to find it. Luckily, after asking the nth local stall, we found it. 


Final Verdict: I highly recommend the place if you're into Hello Kitty for it is very instagrammable and can fill your tummy with delicious dim sums!

In my world, HK stands for two things only: Hello Kitty and Hong Kong. Combine those together and ta-da, a Hello Kitty Supermarket. It's the first Hello Kitty pop-up supermarket in the world and probably the cutest! 

It's a haven for us Hello Kitty lovers. Imagine having the luxury to buy all your needs with Hello Kitty designs on it? Yeah, it should be called luxury! 

I could literally go broke shopping in this supermarket but I'm so glad I didn't. I really wanted to buy everything but of course I needed to control impulses. 

It offers regular supermarket goodies from fruits to chips. The only differene is, it's cuter and better! 

Everything was just so kawaii. It was really hard to walk away from the things I wanted but don't need. 








The products were a bit expensive but hey, it’s not everyday you get to see Hello Kitty ramen.



Judging from the pics, it is so obvious who had more fun.
This is the main reason I wanted to go back to Hong Kong. I wanted to visit all of their Hello Kitty themed places.  Sorry, kids! You had your fun at Disneyland. It’s Mama’s turn! 




I remember getting this popsicle! It was kinda weird at first to be eating Hello Kitty’s head but it was super refreshing!

I’m so glad I had the chance to experience shopping in this supermarket before it closed down. I’m a bit unhappy that it won’t be there the next time I visit Hong Kong. It’s a sad news for me but a happy one for my bank account. 

Anyway, let me know if you know any more Hello Kitty themed places! I would very much love to visit each one someday. Nothing can keep me apart from my favorite, Hello Kitty. 😊

HOOQ, Asia’s largest Subscription Video-on-Demand (SVOD) service, recently announced its acquisition of the exclusive SVOD rights to the catch-up episodes of Aldub’s first-ever teleserye, Destined to Be Yours, in the Philippines.

Destined to Be Yours is currently the most talked about primetime show on Philippine television since it aired its premiere episode last February 27, 2017. In fact, the pilot episode garnered 22.5% ratings on AGB Nielsen NUTAM which is 2.9% higher than its rival program. The hashtag for the pilot episode, #DestinedToBeYoursWorldPremiere, also dominated worldwide Twitter trends – garnering 4.4 million tweets from February 26, 6:00 pm to February 28, 6:00 am. 
Destined to Be Yours quickly captivated viewers with the enthralling romance story between Benjie Rosales (Alden Richards) and Sinag Obispo (Maine Mendoza) which is set in a charming and picturesque town where anything, especially destiny, is a possibility. 

Sinag is a DJ in a community radio station in her hometown of Pelangi. The paradise-like town of Pelangi was formerly a well-developed municipality due to its flourishing mining industry but many people were forced to leave the town after mining firms closed down. Sinag stayed behind because of her love for her hometown and her intention to preserve the traditions and culture of Pelangi through the community radio station that she inherited from her late grandfather.
Meanwhile, Benjie had just graduated from his university and had high hopes of starting his career as an architect. Benjie applies for Rosales Development, one of the largest real-estate development firms in the country. Amanda (Lotlot De Leon), who had to raise Benjie on her own after her husband died from an accident, was against this at first but later allowed it after a change of heart. 
Benjie’s grandfather, Vicente Rosales (Tommy Abuel), is a real-estate tycoon and is the owner of Rosales Development. He had alienated Benjie and Amanda for many years following the tragic death of Benjie’s father, Gabriel.  In order to make up for lost time, Benjie’s grandmother, Helen (Boots Anson-Roa), convinces Vicente to interview and offer Benjie a position in the company. 
As Benjie accepts the job, he gets assigned to a project at Pelangi. There he meets Sinag and their lives become intertwined as they fall in love with each other.
Joining Alden and Maine is a cast of talented actors led by Boots Anson-Roa, Lotlot De Leon, Gardo Versoza, Tommy Abuel, Ronnie Henares, Ina Feleo, Sheena Halili, Dominic Roco, Juancho Trivino, RJ Padilla, Koreen Medina and Janice de Belen who recently returned to GMA for this project.
Besides having thousands of Holywood or US movies and TV series, HOOQ is now the prime destination for Filipino entertainment on demand with the largest library of local movies amongst any video-on-demand service in the country.
“Destined To Be Yours” is the latest addition to the ever growing library of local content available on HOOQ. 
“With this new partnership, AlDub fans in the Philippines can stream the latest episode of Destined to be Yours 24 hours after its telecast on GMA Channel 7, plus they can also catch up on all the previous episodes they missed,” says Jane Cruz Walker, Country Manager of HOOQ.  
“Since we announced the highly anticipated first primetime TV series of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, the entire #AlDub nation created such a buzz online that Destined to be Yours was definitely destined to be a hit even before it aired its first episode,” says Judd Gallares, President & COO of GMA New Media, Inc. “

HOOQ subscribers can now enjoy over 1,200 Filipino movies spanning almost five decades of film making, and over 4,000 hours of local television leaving other video-in-demand services way behind in terms of Filipino content. 

Fans of local TV series can also watch catch up episodes of the latest GMA 7 shows including Meant To Be,  Ika-6 na Utos and more in the coming months.

HOOQ has over 10,000 movies and TV shows available for streaming or download. Globe At Home customers can get up to 6 months access to HOOQ with plans P1,299 and up, while Globe mobile customers can also get up to 6 months trial on selected prepaid and postpaid plans.   

You may also visit www.hooq.tv to sign up for a 7-day free trial.

Swing into the season with gears and wears that spell endless sunshine days. 

March officially marks the beginning of summer and what better way to enjoy the sunny weeks/months ahead of us by officially getting ready the S&R way! 

No matter where summer takes you, you won't skip a beat with S&R summer sales. S&R Members' Treat is happening on March 29 but you can already start head on the best deals! 
Get ready or stock up for the best pool party and buy one of these must-have pool accessories. 
The perfect way to spend time with family and friends during the summer months is through a barbecue party. You can host a BBQ for a special occasion or just an excuse to have fun outdoors. I want this Weber Deluxe Copper Grill. 
 Our summer has been just about as colorful as these bowls. 
This is perfect for outing. These coolers are in it for the long haul and are also ideal companions should a party run a little longer than intended! 

Coleman coolers are designed to keep large volumes of food and drinks cool. Hinged lids with beverage holders and 2-way handles increase your comfort. 

Just what I needed in our small porch. It fits perfectly and the quality is very good. There are a lot more bistro set to choose from at S&R that I want to get.  
It is important to protect your skin from the sun. Experience maximum protection without the sticky and oily feel, only with Beach Hut Max SPF.  


Have a great summer and head on now to any S&R Club near you and you'll surely find more reasons to #LoveSnR #SnREveryday
