My friends always joke that all I seem to do is eat when I am back in HK. I can’t say that they’re wrong because aside from taking photos of the buildings and cute things, food is definitely a big part of HK culture and one that I am more than happy to take part

KILLER FLAT WHITE
There is an awesome independent coffee scene in Birmingham and all the coffee shops are a little network where they all support each other, so it’s lovely little community.
