KIOSK HELLO » Hong Kong http://hello.kioskkiosk.com Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:32:45 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4-alpha-19719 Hi, I’m Michael : ) http://hello.kioskkiosk.com/2011/09/07/hi-im-michael/ http://hello.kioskkiosk.com/2011/09/07/hi-im-michael/#comments Wed, 07 Sep 2011 22:33:29 +0000 Michael http://kioskhello.wp.n192.net/?p=2324 Hi all,

I’m Michael, a designer and beekeeper from Hong Kong. I’m in New York for a couple of months and I’m happy to let you know that I’ll be working at KIOSK on Tuesday and Wednesdays.

On other days, I’m working as a farmer on Brooklyn Grange, running with the Bridge Runners and visiting some nice shops and cafes : )

I’ll be contributing to the blog every now and then and working on a rooftop garden design for KIOSK — stay tuned!!!

Michael really likes rooftops : )

I just wish the sticks could do that on it’s own whenever you all come in for a visit. Don’t miss his site if you feel gloomy and need to be cheered up. Need to get gloomy? Give a thought to the economy/gaza/the spoiled last eight years/death penalty to get in the mood — then go to his site and just forget it all!

Whereas stained glass would normally have a religious tone to it, this one from the 80’s (we think based on the style of the computer and phone) has a definite hi-tech / future forward ring. Plane (Cathay Pacific) meets computer meets mobile phone meets creepy human eyes trapped in the machine. What is going on! Don’t forget the cross in the center of the screen.

Neon or simple, signage in Hong Kong is amazing. The color pallets are very inspiring too. To me the pace of the signs reflect the pace of the people and the place. One day I would like to visit some Hong Kong neon workshops and sign painters.

About 50% of the centers of Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula (the “city” areas of Hong Kong) are pure madness the other 50% are western style, very upscale shopping malls. As a visitor both are equally interesting, as they represent two very different but equally important sides of Hong Kong. Here are some images from Sham Shu Po (Kowloon, one of the earliest developed districts and now considered by the government as a center of urban decay in need of “renewal” although we loved it there and could go again and again), Lan Kwai Fong (Hong Kong Island, ex-pat area, becoming primarily touristic but still has some interesting buildings and aspects ) Pacific Place Mall (in the center of Hong Kong Island, good for a bathroom pit-stop at least, not good to go to more than once ) and for good measure the view of Hong Kong Island at night from Kowloon, a great brain rinser at the end of the day, along with a late night ride on the Star Ferry. Sorry the images are out of order, hope to change that but for now please read the labels!

I thought one of the best things I could do right now to get the fantasy of eating in Hong Kong out of my system would be to show others some of the delicious food moments we had on the trip. I know close to nothing about Cantonese food so I am sure my terminology is totally wrong but hopefully you can get the jist of things. Congee, fried sesame balls,hot tofu in a bowl with sugar syrup/ water poured over, fresh tofu, Hong Kong style french toast, fresh soy milk, fresh shrimp and egg noodles, fried fish with a curry sauce from a street cafe, etc etc. OH: MILK TEA Hong Kong Style

It was a great trip. Hong Kong is both a wonderful and tragic glimpse into the future, both completely inspiring and terrifying and loud and urgent and malls and population density and pollution and really wonderful, wonderful people. These two ladies sum it up with their carts, trade and action all over the place and all the goodies that come with it! It is all very fast and snappy, it was a real treat. Hong Kong arrives to the store on March 13th!
