" The Hong Kong Blogs Review is a
  not-for-profit group that assesses blogs
    with a Hong Kong connection. It is a great
      site for browsing compelling HK content ... "

                    - Bridget  Steis,  Empress  Tea



Land  of  No  Cheese


          The blogger, Emilie, refers to Hong Kong as a "land of no cheese". In her way of describing this HK blog, LAND OF NO CHEESE, she wrote: "The connections I draw in this blog are my way of making sense of this chaotic, magical place".

        Of course, one can get anything that money can buy in this city, Hong Kong is not totally devoid of cheese, as Emilie later learned after she settled down in her new home and found her way to the cheese stores. The blogger didn't reveal the country of her origin, but judging by her spelling -- not much so by her contemporary writing style -- she is likely an expat from England.

        This is a photo blog and a place where the blogger shares her impressions and thoughts of her new home that she obviously enjoys exploring. The reviewers do not know if the blogger is proficient in Chinese, but the translations -- from Chinese to English -- appearing in this blog are excellent. Emilie is humorous and perceptive. Writing in her ultra-light, nimble prose, and through her photos, the blogger shows you the many sides of this chaotic city that is no less than magical to her.

        With Emilie's lighthearted touch and deft, poetic writing prowess, this blog makes for a pleasurable read. Hong Kong Blogs Review highly recommends LAND OF NO CHEESE.





Through the Looking Glass


          The blogger, Rach Read was born in the UK. Not long thereafter, the family moved back to Hong Kong, her mother's hometown, where her parents met prior to her birth. Rach lived here until she was five then returned to England, her father's home country, for school and university. Soon after that, as she put it, " I found HK calling back to me ", Rach answered the call and is now living in her childhood home.

          This blog, THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, is a sort of multi-topic blog, including but not limited to the subjects of beauty, fashion, food, arts, movie and book reviews, and so on. The blogger, a former kindergarten teacher and aspiring writer, is a free spirit; she is vivacious and full of pep.

          THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS is witty and at times, delightfully quirky. Overall, Rach's blog is an exceptionally entertaining and enjoyable read. Among a variety of topics, she tells you places where the fashionable people in HK congregate -- exciting spots they dine, shop, rave about, or just like to be seen in.

          From reading the silky, flowing prose of this former school teacher, you can feel the fun-loving, positive, vibrant spirit of an able young writer. Rach knows the hottest beauty products, best spa treatments, and the latest fashion trends; this blog is a must-read for the beauty and fashion enthusiasts.

          Hong Kong Blogs Review highly recommends THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS.


 




The Mercers on the Move


        THE MERCERS ON THE MOVE is one of the most quirky HK blogs we've ever read. It is by an Englishman of undetermined age and peculiar taste in music.

        We assume that he is a Brit by the way he writes and how the word, "mercers", is used in the title of his blog, THE MERCERS ON THE MOVE. In this blog, the bloggger, Chris, is not hesitant nor bashful about using four-letter words and swinging jab after jab against the popular religion that his name originates from.

        Some parts of this blog strongly suggest that the blogger has read some revered literature classics of the English language. As unconventional and foul-mouthed as Chris is, he appears to be well-read, literary at times, and some of his prose seem almost poetic. Chris' writing is loud, peppery, and provocative.

        If you are in the mood for some amusement and like to read something different than the same-old-everyday HK blogs, then THE MERCERS ON THE MOVE is a spicy one for you.

Sketching  Hong  Kong       - newly updated


        This blog is by a young Hong Kong artist, Gary Yeung; his work has individuality. He belongs to a noted, new generation of artists emerging in our local art scene. He is talented and well-educated in his chosen profession. The writing and artwork in this blog, SKETCHING HONG KONG, show the artist's all-consuming passion for his art.

        Art, literature and various art forms, often mirrors the culture and era we live in. Gary Yeung's sketches, paintings, and other artwork displayed in this blog and his website are no exceptions. Like Hong Kong in its present post-colonial period, our present intertwines with our past, you can see bits and pieces of the East and West in his work. And the artist's brush strokes are unrestrained and untraditional, with both elements of the old and new Hong Kong blended into his painting style. Gary Yeung's work exemplifies the less self-conscious, bolder and freer spirit of a new era.

        Through Gary Yeung's artistic work, you can see a new surge of creative energy sparkling from this city's new crop of young artists. Hong Kong Blogs Review recommends Gary Yeung's art blog, SKETCHING HONG KONG, and his website, studiogario.com, highly.

Poetry...



          As the saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together", we -- all our reviewers -- are lovers of poetry. Not only that, one of us is a published Hong Kong poet. Despite obscurity, you can find our resident poet's poetry, of all places, at Dymocks (not in its best-sellers section).

          We found this poem in a photograph recently.  Elizabeth  Briel  -- a fine artist, travel-writer and photographer -- took the picture of this poem written on a door; the poet who penned the poem is unknown.

          It is such a beautiful Hong Kong poem and Ms. Briel is a gifted photographer. We would like to share both the photo and poem with you.

          Hong Kong Blogs Review recommends Elizabeth Briel's blog highly.

Miss Fong in Hong Kong


        The blog, MISS FONG IN HONG KONG, like the blogger herself is breezy and whimsical. She has a charming devil-may-care sort of attitude. This HK blog is full of twists and turns -- you never know what Miss Fong will say nor where she will take you next.

        Miss Fong is Canadian-born; she has family tie in this city. The blogger landed here in Hong Kong after she lived in Amsterdam for a time. Now she is working in Central, HK's prime business district. Some of Miss Fong's wildest and most fascinating stories are told against the backdrop of the district or with the people working around the area as the focal point.

        MISS FONG IN HONG KONG is an amusing read. The blogger is an amazing storyteller. Her stories take place in Netherlands, Canada, and mostly, of course, around Hong Kong. Sometimes, Miss Fong's writing takes you to some place you may dare not go, and often, she tells you more than you really want to know.

        Hong Kong Blogs Review recommends MISS FONG IN HONG KONG highly. This blog will give you many belly-aching laughs and keep you coming back for more.




HK  Girl  Talk
          This is a kind of blog that only someone like the blogger, Jin Wong, could write. She knows the subject matter of her blog amazingly well and she has the uncanny ability of communicating her thoughts in English to the HK natives, overseas Chinese and Westerners alike. This is evident by the relatively large number of comments she receives from a diverse group of readers.

          This blog not only writes about HK girls and what they talk about among themselves when the outsiders are not present, but also a great deal about Hong Kong, its unspoken social codes, the mainland Chinese and so on. In addition to HK GIRL TALK, Jin writes a fashion blog, REMEDY ROUGE.

          It may be stereotyping an identifiable group of people, however, the stereotypical type of HK girl depicted in HK GIRL TALK is part of HK's social reality. Through her "Internet-chat-room-ish", casual prose, Jin paints a picture of HK from the perspective of a stylish, savvy, socially active, twenty-something female Hongkonger. She is a HK girl version of a man-about-town.
· B ·
  - by  Jin Wong
          Though deeply cynical, this blog highlights and reflects the time and culture we live in. Bold and unabashed, HK GIRL TALK tells it like it is with candor and without sugar-coating. Writing in a playful tone, this blog is a good diversion; it is fun to read. At the same time, it is revealing to those who are interested in seeing this city close up and hearing HK girls' unfiltered chatter.

          Hong Kong Blogs Review highly recommends HK GIRL TALK.


          Afterthought:    Knowing HK as well as any native does, it is puzzling to the reviewer why a trendy HK girl like Jin Wong has not given herself a Western name. By keeping her name, Jin, the blogger has a lot of explaining to do to those fashionable people in hot parties or social events she undoubtedly attends regularly.

Madeline  Hope


          Life is not perfect. It is unfair; some people are luckier than others. In life, we do the best we can with what is dealt to us; we take the bad with the good. Something challenging happened to the blogger, an Australian living in HK, and her family, to their otherwise almost perfect lives. Despite the life-changing difficulties, the blogger faces the unexpected and unwanted change with acceptance, emotional maturity, and unwavering hope.

          Amidst the anguish, this Hong Kong blog, MADELINE HOPE, is about the gift of unconditional love and the indomitable human spirit. The blogger's abiding love for her child shows us that the noblest of love is unconditional. And the blogger's bountiful capacity for giving it inspires us all.

          Hong Kong Blogs Review recommends MADELINE HOPE; we are touched.



Check  Out  Hong  Kong


        Like the plot and characters in a mystery novel, many things in this blog, CHECK OUT HONG KONG, are not what they seem. As the mystery unfolds, at times, the blogger acts slick, rough and tough, talking as if she is a man-about-town. Her English is unmistakeably of a US big-city native but at the same time, she knows HK like she has lived in this city all her life. She can be feminine and flirtatious but often writes in the vernacular of an American ghetto resident. She dresses and looks like a teenager, however, she mentioned an ex-husband and is probably old enough to be the mother of a mid-teen.

        The blogger reveals nothing directly or explicitly about her background; there is no self-introduction or "About Me" in this blog. But because of her openness and talkative nature, you can learn plenty about her personal life from reading her posts.

        Whether the blogger is writing about food, music, shopping, fashion, culture, art or other topics pertaining to HK, she knows her subject matter amazingly well. She is a particularly remarkable food blogger. Her stories are all told in a voice of a rebellious, aggressive, rambunctious, street-smart youngster with a generous dose of four-letter words for effect.

        Apparently, the blogger has lived in many places around the world. Among them are Florence, Manila, Canada, Taiwan, and of course, Hong Kong. Judging by the way she writes, she likely has spent a part of her life living in the US. The blogger is tattooed, artistic, and a pleasure seeker. And there is more.....

        As the plot thickens, go read the blog, but only if you're open-minded and extra liberal in your thinking. You've been forewarned. A portion of this blog is devoted to food blogging, it's exceptionally informative and well-written. Hong Kong Blogs Review recommends CHECK OUT HONG KONG, however, not to everyone.


Foto  Automat     - by   Christine  Ritter


          A quote from the top of this blog:

          " A testimony of my journey in the world of fashion and a style journal of those around me - all in Hong Kong. "


          The single simple sentence above introduces you to this HK fashion blog. It also gives you a sample of the blogger's Minimalist writing style she employs throughout her blog, FOTO AUTOMAT.

          This is a women's and men's fashion blog for the masses -- no pictures of tall, bony models, wearing expensive designer dresses with a detached, far-away look. FOTO AUTOMAT specializes in HK fashion from the mid-priced casual wear to modestly-priced everyday street clothes, with some wild, off-beat outfits in between.

          In her blog, Christine Ritter writes with few words, displaying photos she took of everyday fashion that people wear on the streets of Hong Kong (most photos are shot on location; some are staged). This blog is a personal collection of HK's current street fashion scene. The photos in this blog show you what the fashionable Hongkongers are wearing around town.

          Ms. Ritter is an excellent photographer, fashion and otherwise. FOTO AUTOMAT has a pleasant, clean layout; the writing is terse, clever, and snappy. At places, the blogger appears to be writing in code; she peppers her short prose with fashion jargon and "shop talk". But, in Ms. Ritter's hand, this only adds to the blog's charm and individuality. After all, fashion, not unlike poetry, is not to be explained but to be enjoyed. As always, in writing, quality is preferred over quantity.

          Hong Kong Blogs Review recommends FOTO AUTOMAT. It is a playful, lighthearted, stylish blog that is meant to be enjoyed.




Baoman's  Blog


        In this HK blog, BAOMAN'S BLOG, the blogger, Bill Proudfit, writes about his expat life living in Hong Kong -- now in Macau -- and spends much of his time talking about a management system called "Knowledge Management".

        BAOMAN'S BLOG is a sort of business, HK and Chinese politics, and expat living blog. Mr. Proudfit writes with authority and self-confidence without being overbearing. For all his seriousness, he has a certain charm.

        The blogger, a long-time resident of HK, is civic-minded. The writing in this blog shows he has a keen interest in the public affairs of HK's larger community outside of his expat circle; he is active in several local organizations -- socially, he does not function only in an expat bubble. As far as we can tell from reading BAOMAN'S BLOG, Mr. Proudfit is knowledgeable about this city and its neighboring countries. He understands the Asian culture well. Gentle in his criticism, he is respectful to the culture he chooses to live in.

        All things considered, Hong Kong Blogs review recommends this HK blog, BAOMAN'S BLOG, to those who are interested in expat life, HK politics, international business, and Asia in general, or perhaps, the "Knowledge Management" system -- not that we have a good idea of what that is.




e-tingfood


        The blogger, Janice Leung, is a well-known HK food blogger and critic. Her blog, e-tingfood, has a loyal following. If I could only use one word to describe this HK food blog, I would call it comprehensive. This blog has something in it for every food lover of almost every taste.

        The photos of the food featured in e-tingfood are stunning. Ms. Leung's prose is chirpy and expressive. She has a fun-loving, self-deprecating sense of humor. Don't let all those mystifying, self-invented, "Internet-ish" words in her blog fool you, she actually knows the language well and her syntax is consistent with the native speaker of English. This outstanding food blogger's animated and flavorful writing style is particularly well-suited for food critiquing.

        e-tingfood is one impressive HK food blog enlivened by some of the best food blog writing I've read. To taste the food showcased in this blog, Ms. Leung would even tell you where to go, with addresses and directions included for those hard and not-so-hard to find places.

        Hong Kong Blogs Review highly recommends e-tingfood; go read Janice Leung's HK food blog and enjoy.



Style Is an Inspiration of ...


        This Hong Kong blog is by a quintessential Westernized HK young lady, Veronica Li. In her blog, she doesn't merely write about fashion. Beside updating the latest fashion news in HK and elsewhere, Veronica also advises her readers on the latest styling trends; what is hot; what to wear or not to wear for a variety of occasions, settings, and body types and so forth.

        The blogger is bubbly and enthusiastic about her beloved subject -- fashion. This blog, STYLE IS AN INSPIRATION OF PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE, is well-written; it has universal appeal. Undoubtedly, many items in this blog are hot topics that its fashion-blog-reading audience anywhere can relate to and resonate with. In this ever increasingly interconnected world we live in, fashion has become an international language for the trendy set.

        At places, this HK fashion blog retains certain unique HK characteristics, it charmingly adds on a colorful local flavor to the blog for viewers outside of HK. Veronica's cheery writing style and extraordinary sparkling personality makes the blog stand out in the crowd. This blog is a pleasure to read.

        Hong Kong Blogs Review highly recommends Veronica Li's fashion bog, STYLE IS AN INSPIRATION OF PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. Go read her blog, follow her advice, you may turn out to be one of the most fashionable persons walking on the planet.

     " The blogs we present
here are by people from a wide

        Hong Kong Blogs Review is a non-commercial, not-for-profit website. This site does not accept any form of paid advertisements. However, we may accept a non-intrusive ad if the advertiser makes a donation directly to a HK government registered charity. We expect a generous donation for a worthy cause; inquiry is welcome.

        The operational cost for maintaining this site is minuscule since our server expense is donated by one of our supporters and the technical works are done in-house by this site's reviewers. All our reviewers are university educated, degreed, and certified software engineers. Coding a website from scratch is not what they do for their day-jobs --- they normally do some far more strange and challenging things at work with the computer than writing website programs.

From us to you ...


      Happy Chinese New Year, the year of the dragon.

      We have been getting a large number of people asking us to join their social networking sites. It is time for us to say a few words about it. For various reasons, it is our long standing policy not to accept any online social networking invitations. We are flattered and appreciative but regret that we are unable to fulfill any of your requests.

      Quite a few requests are by names that are familiar in HK media and noted publications. We do not know if they are the same persons or not. If you are, our editor would be glad to hear from you via e-mail. Hopefully, we can get to know you on an individual basis in a less impersonal setting. Please let us know.

      Again, thank you for your invitation.
