Recently, an "antique store" has been added to Hollywood Road. When I went in, I discovered that there is Qiankun inside. This is actually an antique bar with a high degree of privacy. It is decorated like a bank in the 1950s, with yellowish lights, The antique-style sofas and the design of the large vault make people admire it like a trance. Maggie Choo's is the work of the famous interior designer Ashley Sutton (previously The Iron Fairies, Dragonfly). This designer's designs always have a story included, and Maggie Choo's is the protagonist who becomes an orphan due to the war and inherits an antique store. Later, she discovered that there was a hidden bank in the store. In the end, she transformed the bank into a secret place for singing and dancing, and this bar perfectly presented the story. The bar's cocktails are all very unique. For example, Driven by her Dreams adds jalapeno, which is spicy and sweet, and has a very special taste; Delusion uses Pisco distilled spirits with thyme, plus sweet pineapple citrus and Syrup, easy to drink. In addition to special drinks and snacks, the bar will have dancer performances every Thursday to Sunday, as well as DJ performances, jazz, etc. It is a comprehensive immersive bar experience. 📍 Maggie Choo's 📍Address: No. 1, G/F, Ishari, 1-13 Hollywood Road, Central 📍Business hours: 18:00-midnight #maggiechoo #cocktail #winelovers #centralbar #hkfoodhunter #hkeats #hkfoodies #hkfoodsnap #hkfoodstagram #hkfoodblogger #hkfoodie #foodiehk #852foodvoyage #香港好 Place

We visited this place on the weekend recommended by our friend, a very nice and cozy place for brunch and tea!! Their desserts looks so good and affordable, we ordered the flourless chocolate fudge with ice cream, it was so so good!! Can’t wait to try out the rest of the desserts. The pasta here are really good too, I personally preferred the crab meat pasta, they are so generous with the crab meat. Coffee was quite standard, nothing too special. The only down side of this place is the seats are quite limited, advise to come during non peak hour if you don’t like the crowd.

Got some credits left in our star gift card, so decided to give the “TEA FOR TWO” a go here. The tea set included carrot cake, mud cake, signature doughnut, scones, mixed sandwiches and one standard tea or coffee per person. We both had a flat white. The coffee was nice but not hot enough. The coffee came much earlier than the food as we had to wait for 25 minutes. The sandwiches, scones and cakes were placed nicely on a. The sandwich bread was very dry and the filling also not looked very fresh. The taste was just ok. Then we had the scones which was really good, warm and soft. The carrot cake and mud cake were not bad but the signature doughnut was pretty ordinary as it’s a bit hard, didn’t look fresh at all. This tea set cost $39, good quantities but not qualities. #menu subject to change #no bookings needed

I like to watch dusk🌆, so I came to Gold Coast Beach in Tuen Mun🏖️. Not only is the view here, the sea view is excellent, attracting many overseas, local, in short, in a word, people from different nationalities, will definitely come to this beach 🏖️. Every December, the Gold Coast beach 🏖️, there are many people, because here about 5-6 o'clock, the sun 🌞 setting ⛰️, will appear sunset, the whole sky is yellow and red, not to mention you do not know, the breeze, floating up, you can smell the sea water, enveloping the whole ocean, so you can't forget, miss it, miss it! Reminisce? After watching the sunset 🌇 dusk and evening glow, let's go to this Gold Coast Mall. When I go there, I always see a market in the center of the mall. You can just walk around. But I was in a hurry to leave because I had something to do that day. I missed the market for everyone to see. I'm sorry! If you like my recommendations, remember to follow me. #TuenMun #HongKong #LocalTour #FamilyGood #GoldCoast #GoldCoastBeach #HongKongGoldCoast #TuenMunGoldCoast #TuenMunGoldCoastPlaza #BeachSlowwalk #BeachEpisode #TuenMunGood Places #Market

A comfortable place to stay in Gold Coast. The place I stayed the most in Australia is Gold Coast. I often stayed in Surfers Paradise or Broadbeach. Peppers, Mantra, Sofitel, etc., but this place was the best for me! Meriton Suites Broadbeach😍 First of all, Broadbeach is right next to Surfers by car for 5-10 minutes. Surfers has too many tourists..I prefer Broadbeach, which is moderately busy, because it has a moderate number of restaurants and Pacific Fair, a large shopping mall across the street. First of all, the room is a residence type, with a separate living room and bedroom. The kitchen is also fully equipped with a corner where you can cook, and there is a washing machine and dryer for laundry. They even leave liquid soap with you every day! First of all, the view is good!! As long as there is no building in front... I expect the view here to be good. #Ho-kangs #Australia travel #Ho-kangs

Great place live Broadbeach and everything around it! Parking was a bit tricky but the star resort helped us find the spot! Yellow carport level 3 & 3M The rest was smooth sailing and easy #travel #dorsetthotel #familytravel #familytravel #draculascastle #thingstodo

It was our first visit at Meriton Broadbeach and we were happy with the service. Staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Room was spacious and has a full kitchen even if it was only a studio suite. Beautiful ocean view. They have heated outdoor and indoor pools. We only used the indoor one as it was windy at that time. There's enough parking and paid 15 AUD per night. A lot of restaurants around and even the biggest shopping mall in Gold Coast was just walking distance. Reception was open 24/7. You actually find it cheaper if you join their membership and book through their website. Highly recommended!

amazing facilities and access to locations

#australiatravel The Star on the Gold Coast stayed on the Gold Coast for 9,300 two nights The Star Evening/ The cheapest hotel to stay in Australia this time When I booked it at that time, I saw that it had a casino because Dad preferd to live there. The hotel surface of the casino You are a very bad businessman. The hotel service is very good, but the room is relatively old and the interior decoration is old. There are quite a lot of guests staying in the hotel. Maybe it is also because of the casino. People who like hustle and bustle are very suitable for this hotel. The casino is crowded and very lively at night. When you check in, as soon as the car arrives at the door of the hotel, the door is very active. Help us get our luggage and check in. When we get to the room, the delivery of the luggage is already waiting at the door. The staff at the front desk explained in detail. The soup and breakfast is a buffet. The quality is not very high, but it has everything it should be. Both Chinese and Western. There are also many other restaurants on the first floor of the hotel where you can have lunch and dinner. The hotel is generally good. The service is good, but the hardware is too bad. I don't like it very much and don't recommend it. #Gold Coast TheStar

Had an amazing stay at the Dorsett before Christmas. So many amazing restaurants close by and within a nice walking distance with lots of adventures to be had. For the nightlife you have endless choices available and for those who like a flutter on the pokies or a spin on the roulette wheel, the Casino is just a short walk also. But remember to keep some of your hard-earned dollars for the amazing shopping options available also. Pick yourself up some treats, gifts for loved ones or just some great mementos. Great for a girl's weekend of pampering, shopping trip or just some fun in the sun. Guys you don't miss out either, plenty of activities with Broadbeach right at your doorstep. Great for families with the pool, shops and plenty of activities also. A really beautiful spot and we had an amazing stay.
