Ohya sejarah singkatnya, Tai Cheong bakery ini berdiri sejak tahun 1954. Dulu pertama kali dibuat oleh om-nya Au Yeung yang ternyata Au Yeung ini adalah seorang Egg Tart Master 👌 Nah, setelah usaha Tai Cheong Bakery dihibahkan ke Au Yeung, sama Au Yeung di-upgrade kualitasnya, bahkan Au Yeung juga menjadi pioneer untuk produk Egg Tart dengan tipe Cookie Crust 😍 That's why, Tai Cheong Bakery jadi famous di mana-mana karena rasanya yang khas 😬

If you are in Hong Kong, don't forget to stop by Tai Cheong Bakery 😍 this is one of the most famous bakeries in Hong Kong that sells a variety of Egg Tart and several types of breads ~ I like Tai Cheong Bakery, so I always end up buying it in many pieces because I worry I will regret if only buy 1 or 2 pieces 🤣 and besides Egg Tart, they also sell red bean bread which is actually my favorite 😁✌

Talk about the history, Tai Cheong bakery was founded in 1954. It was first made by Au Yeung's uncle, and it turned out Au Yeung is an Egg Tart Master 👌 one day, Tai Cheong Bakery business handed down to Au Yeung, and Au Yeung decided to upgrade the quality of the bakery. Au Yeung also became a pioneer for Egg Tart products with Cookie Crust type 😍 In the end, Tai Cheong Bakery became famous everywhere because of its distinctive taste 😬

On our way to Tai Cheong Bakery 😍

Meanwhile, bagi yang belum pernah ke Tai Cheong Bakery, mungkin akan pusing mencari lokasinya karena harus jalan kaki lumayan jauh dari stasiun MTR terdekat ~ however pemandangan yang bisa kita lihat selama jalan kaki dari stasiun MTR ke Tai Cheong Bakery cukup untuk membuat gue senang 😬 especially karena gue memang hobi lihat-lihat bangunan dan suasana kota. So, bagi team malas jalan seperti gue, jangan kawatir, meski jauh masih bearable untuk kita 🤣

Meanwhile, for those who have never been to Tai Cheong Bakery, you might get headache to find the location because you need to walk quite a bit from the nearest MTR station ~ however the scenery that we can see while walking from the MTR station to Tai Cheong Bakery is enough to make us happy 😬 especially for those who like buildings and the atmosphere around the city. So, if you lazy to walk (like me), don't worry, although it is a bit far, we still can bear it 🤣

No more walking 🤣✌

Eniho, ada beberapa jalan yang bisa digunakan untuk ke Tai Cheong Bakery, salah satunya melalui jaringan eskalator terpanjang di dunia 😍💕 kalau dulu ada yang suka menonton film Mandarin mungkin pernah melihat jaringan eskalator ini, dan tentu gue pun memilih menggunakan eskalator daripada jalan kaki naik tangga AHAHAHA. Lumayan kan, bisa menghemat tenaga 😁👌

Anyhow, there are several paths that we can use to go to Tai Cheong Bakery, one of the paths is through the longest escalator in the world 😍💕 if anyone used to watch Mandarin films might have seen this escalator, and of course I chose escalators instead of walking up the stairs AHAHAHA. Because, I can save my energy 😁👌

Finally, I got mine 🥳

Untuk harga bakery-nya terbilang affordable, kisaran 8 HKD (14.000 IDR) dengan size yang cukup besar, isi yang sangat tebal, dan rasa yang super enaaaaaak. Pokoknya PUASSSS 🥳 and thank God, waktu gue ke sana nggak perlu antri panjang EHE. Bagi teman-teman yang mau mampir dan beli, jangan lupa bawa uang cash karena mereka nggak menerima pembayaran foreigner card atau teman-teman bisa melakukan pembayaran dengan Octopus Card 😄👍 enjoy!

For the price of the bakery is fairly affordable, the range is around 8 HKD (1 USD) with a size which big enough, and the bakery also very thick, plus the taste is super delicious. Anyway, I satisfied 🥳 and thank God, when I went to Tai Cheong Bakery last time, I didn't need to queue EHE. If you guys want to visit and buy, don't forget to bring cash because they don't accept foreigner card payments or you can make payments with Octopus Card 😄👍 enjoy!

Bisa dibilang, gue lumayan sering pergi ke Hong Kong, bahkan terakhir kali gue ke Hong Kong itu baru awal Januari kemarin saat virus Corona belum booming di mana-mana meski ternyata sudah ada 50 orang yang terinfeksi di Hong Kong sana 😅 Jujur, gue baru tau ada virus yang waktu itu masih belum ada namanya, sehari sebelum keberangkatan. Itu juga karena my man inform kalau ada virus dari Wuhan dan sudah masuk ke Hong Kong juga.

Gue saat itu langsung cari informasi sebanyak-banyaknya meski agak susah karena belum banyak media yang mengangkat berita soal virus misterius Wuhan. Untung, ada berita di Naver Korea yang menginformasikan bahwa selama wabah virus belum hilang, kita harus selalu pakai masker, cuci tangan dan bawa hand sanitizer ke mana-mana. Alhasil, berangkat~lah gue ke Hong Kong dengan 3 packs masker untuk stock selama 1 mingguan 😬

Ohya, buat yang bertanya-tanya bagaimana kondisi di Hong Kong saat gue datang? Well, karena pada waktu itu virusnya baru outbreak di wilayah Hong Kong saja, jadi belum begitu banyak orang yang aware dengan situasi yang ada ~ however, di bandara Hong Kong sudah dilakukan screening suhu tubuh di area ketibaan. Dan gue pun hanya melihat segelintir orang yang pakai masker, sampai gue nggak enak karena jadi terlihat aneh di mata orang-orang 😁

Tapi, berhubung based on news yang gue baca, virus ini cukup berbahaya, jadi gue tetap pakai masker selama di luar ruangan dan akhirnya lebih memilih untuk makan di tempat yang terlihat bersih dan jelas. Gue juga selalu pakai hand sanitizer setelah memegang sesuatu seperti handle MTR, nggak mengusap wajah seenaknya, dan selalu mengkonsumsi Tolak Angin setiap harinya 😍👍 pokoknya gue ikuti semua saran dari news yang sempat gue baca.

Thank God, gue ke luar dari Hong Kong dalam keadaan sehat, dan dua hari kemudian, virus misterius tersebut sudah punya nama as Virus Corona, dan sudah menyebar ke beberapa negara lainnya 😔 gue super kaget karena nggak menyangka dan bersyukur karena nggak menyepelekan informasi yang gue dapat ~ nggak kebayang kalau waktu itu gue asal baca, mungkin gue bisa kena virusnya juga. By the way, saat gue menulis post ini, gue dalam keadaan sehat.

Orang pintar minum TOLAK ANGIN yaaa, gaes! 🤣✌

Bicara soal Hong Kong, gue selalu ingin kembali lagi ke sana karena gue punya banyak memori indah bersama my one and only man 😂 dulu, saat masih hubungan jarak jauh, gue sama doi akan ketemu di tengah-tengah, dan tengahnya Indonesia - Korea itu adalah Hong Kong yang sama-sama ditempuh dalam waktu kurang lebih 4-5 jam 😁 kalau sekarang syukurlah nggak perlu ketemu di tengah, plus yang gue suka, gue nggak perlu lagi pergi dan pulang sendirian karena harus berpisah di bandara macam Cinta dan Rangga 🤣

Walau sejujurnya, gue bukan tipe yang akan menangis saat berpisah di bandara karena tau dua bulan kemudian akan ketemu lagi entah di negara mana. Tapi tetap yang namanya berpisah, rasanya nggak enak HAHAHAHA. Alhasil, sekarang bisa ke mana-mana sepesawat berdua membuat gue senang, minimal ada teman menonton film dikala bosan dan ada yang bantu angkat koper ke kabin atas 😁✌

Back to topic, kali ini, gue akan memulai cerita perjalanan penuh warna ke tempat penuh kenangan yang akan selalu memiliki kesan indah. Dan meskipun gue kebanyakan bukan pergi ke area wisata, alias lebih sering visit dari satu cafe ke cafe lainnya, atau sekedar jalan mengikuti arah kaki melangkah, gue harap, teman-teman bisa ikut senang membaca perjalanan gue di sana. Yuk, mari sama-sama kita ucap, "你好 [ Hello ] HONG KONG, aquuuuuw datang!" 😍

I could say that I go quite often to Hong Kong, and in fact, I also went to Hong Kong last January when the Corona virus hasn't boomed yet in other countries and it turns out there were already 50 people infected in Hong Kong 😅 To be honest, I just found out about the virus (which at that time was still anonymous), at the day before my departure. It was because my man informs me that there is a virus from Wuhan and has entered Hong Kong area.

I was immediately looking for infos as much as possible although it was rather difficult because there were not many media outlets that raised such an issue about the mysterious Wuhan virus. Fortunately, there was news in Naver Korea that informs me about how to protect ourselves from the virus outbreak, for example always wear masks, wash our hands and bring hand sanitizers everywhere. As a result, I went to Hong Kong with 3 packs of masks for 1 week's stock 😬

Oh yeah, for you who are wondering how things were in Hong Kong when I came? Well, because at that time the virus was only outbreak in Hong Kong area, so not many people were aware of the situation ~ however, at HKIA, they prepared body temperature screening inside the arrival area. And I saw not many people wearing masks, so it made me uncomfortable because I may look weird for them 😁

Nevertheless, because based on the news that I read, this virus is quite dangerous, so I still wear a mask while outdoors and prefer to eat in a place that looks clean and clear. I also use a hand sanitizer after holding something like an MTR handle, and didn't rub my face lightly, also always consume Tolak Angin every day 😍👍 Basically I follow all the suggestions from the news that I had read.

Thank God, I came out from Hong Kong in good health, and two days later, the mysterious virus already has the name as Corona Virus, and it has spread to several other countries 😔 I was super shocked because I didn't expect it will became big and I was thankful that I didn't underestimate the information that I got ~ I never imagine if at that time I just read without thinking, maybe I could get sick because of the virus. By the way, when I write this post, I'm in good health.

Speaking of Hong Kong, I always want to go back there because I've a lot of beautiful memories with my one and only man 😂 first, when we were long distance, we would meet in the middle, and the middle of Indonesia - Korea is Hong Kong (flight times around 4-5 hours) 😁 so now, I'm thankful because we don't need to meet in the middle, and one thing that I like the most is I don't need to go to Hong Kong and back home alone just because I've to separate at the airport 🤣

Despite, I'm not the type of woman who easily cry when separating at the airport, because I knew that two months later I would meet him again in some other countries. But still, when it comes to separating moments, it made me feel not good HAHAHA. That's why, now when I'm being able to go anywhere and ride on the plane with him, it makes me happy, at least I have someone to watch a movie together and to help me lift a suitcase to the upper cabin 😁✌

Back to topic, this time, I will start my journey to a place with full of memories that will always have a beautiful and special impression for me. Albeit, I didn't go to many tourist areas, and also more often visit one cafe to another cafe, or just walking along the road following my footsteps, I hope, you guys can still enjoying my journey. And for the last, let's say, "你好 [Hello] HONG KONG, I'm coming!" 😍

저는 홍콩에 자주가는 편이에요. 지난 1월, 네 코로나 바이러스가 수많은 나라에서 이슈가 되기 전 홍콩에 갔었어요. 그리고 나서 이미 50명의 감염자가 있다는게 밝혀졌어요 😅 사실 저는 출발하기 전날 바이러스에 대해서 알게 됬어요(그때까지도 정체불명이었죠). 제 남자친구가 우한에서 온 바이러스가 홍콩지역에도 들어갔다고 알려줬기 때문이에요.

당시 베일에 쌓인 우한 바이러스에 대해서 수많은 매체들이 이슈화 시키고있지 않았기 때문에 바로 가능한 한 많은 정보를 찾아봤어요. 다행히 네이버 코리아에서 항상 마스크를 착용하고, 손을 씻고 손소독을 해서 바이러스로부터 자신을 보호하라는 방법을 알려줬어요. 그래서 1주일 동안 마스크 세팩을 들고 홍콩으로 갔어요 😬

Oh yeah, 제가 홍콩에 갔을 때 무슨일이 있었는지 궁금하세요? 음, 그 당시 바이러스는 홍콩지역에서만 발병해서 많은 사람들이 상황을 알지 못했어요 ~ 하지만 HKIA에서는 도착지역 내부에서 체온 검진을 준비했어요. 그리고 저는 많은 사람들이 마스크를 쓰지 않은 것을 봐서 제가 이상하게 보일까봐 살짝 불편했어요 😁

그럼에도 불구하고 제가 읽은 뉴스에서 바이러스는 엄청 위험하다고 했기 때문에 야외 깨끗한 장소에서 식사를 준비하는 순간에도 꿋꿋이 마스크를 썼어요. 또 MTR 손잡이 등을 잡고나서 손 소독제를 사용했고 얼굴에 손을 대지 않았어요. 그리고 매일 Tolak Angin을 마셨어요 😍👍 기본적으로 저는 뉴스에서 읽은 모든것을 지켰어요.

Thank God, 저는 무사히, 건강히 홍콩에서 나왔어요. 그러고 나서 이틀 뒤 베일에 쌓였던 바이러스는 코로나 바이러스라는 이름이 붙여졌고 다른 국가로 퍼졌어요 😔 저는 그게 그렇게까지 퍼질지 몰랐기 때문에 충격받았어요. 저는 제가 얻은 정보를 흘려듣지 않은 것에 대해서 감사했어요. 그건 그렇고 이 포스트를 쓰는 지금 제 건강은 좋아요.

홍콩에 대해서 말씀드리자면 거기는 제 남자친구와의 추억이 많은 곳이라 항상 가고싶은 곳이에요 😂 먼저 우리가 장거리 연애를 할 시절에 우리는 한국과 인도네시아 중간쯤인 홍콩에서 만났어요(비행시간 4-5시간 정도) 😁 그래도 지금은 감사하게도 중간에서 만날 필요가 없어요. 제가 가장 좋은건 홍콩에 갈 필요도 없지만 공항에서 헤어져서 집에 혼자 갈 필요도 없다는 거에요 🤣

하지만 저는 몇달 뒤에 다시 만날걸 알기 때문에 공항에서 헤어질때 울거나 하는 타입은 아님에도 불구하고 헤어질 때마다 기분이 안좋아요 하하하하. 그래서 지금 제가 비행기를 타고 어디든 갈 수 있다는게 행복해요, 적어도 영화를 보거나 캐리어를 들어줄 사람이 있으니까요 😁✌

주제로 돌아와서 이번에는 항상 아름답고 특별한 인상을 준 곳으로 가볼까해요. 그렇지만 관광지를 많이 갔던건 아니고 카페를 가거나 발 가는데로 걸어다닌 것들이에요. 여러분들이 제 여행을 즐겨주셨으면 좋겠어요. 그리고 마지막으로 "你好 [Hello] HONG KONG, I'm coming!" 😍

Buat gue, human relationship (baik dalam hal pernikahan maupun pacaran) itu seperti naik gunung. Susah dan pastinya melelahkan. Mudah saat permulaan, tapi nggak mudah dipertahankan. That's why, gue jarang melakukannya, both naik gunung maupun menjalankan hubungan (apalagi pernikahan, sebisa mungkin 1 kali saja). Karena, efforts yang gue butuhkan besar, jadi ketika gue memutuskan untuk melakukan hal tersebut, gue akan sangat serius memikirkan 😄

Sama seperti ketika kita naik gunung, kita selalu mempersiapkan banyak hal sebagai langkah pertama. Pada sebuah hubungan pun, kita juga perlu mempersiapkan diri kita. Apakah kita sudah cukup kuat menghadapi segala cobaan? Apakah kita sudah cukup berkompeten dan bisa diandalkan? Dan apakah kita sudah cukup bijaksana? Plus sejuta pertanyaan mendasar lainnya 😁

Karena bisa saja, saat di tengah jalan untuk mencapai ke puncak, kita merasa lelah. Atau yang paling parah, ingin menyerah kalah. Meanwhile, kita harus terus mendaki, tapi jalanannya terlalu berat dan licin. Dan kita nggak bisa melihat apapun kecuali kegelapan dan suara burung (omongan orang). Lalu entah bagaimana, hanya secercah cahaya bulan yang memberikan kita harapan, kalau suatu hari nanti, kelak kita akan sampai pada puncak tujuan 😄

Read: My [ Our ] Future

Seperti orang lain yang juga turut mendaki dan berjuang, akan ada masanya dimana kita merasa senang. Mungkin saat kita bisa melihat banyak pepohonan, atau pun pemandangan menarik di sepanjang perjalanan. Dan begitu pula sebuah hubungan berkembang, nggak semuanya buruk walau nggak semuanya indah 😍

Yang terpenting adalah, daripada turun dari gunung maupun dari sebuah hubungan, kemudian acapkali berkata, "Gue mau menyerah!" -- lebih baik, istirahat. Karena mungkin, bisa saja, kita hanya butuh istirahat, duduk, minum, dan melihat pemandangan di belakangan, pada sebuah kenangan dan semua cerita yang telah kita bagikan.

However, setiap orang punya kekuatan dan sudut pandang berbeda. Bahkan ketika kita mendaki gunung bersama partner kita, nggak berarti partner kita punya kekuatan dan sudut pandang yang sama dengan kita. Salah satu bisa saja menyerah lebih cepat dari yang lainnya. Atau besar kemungkinan, semua justru bisa meraih puncak setelah bergandengan tangan bersama-sama. Karena ada banyak hal bisa saja terjadi seketika dan kita nggak akan pernah tau itu apa.

Meski partner kita berkata bahwa mereka baik-baik saja, bisa jadi mereka sebenarnya nggak baik-baik saja. Dan gue yakin, ini adalah tantangan besar karena kita harus survive dengan hubungan kita disaat ada banyak kesempatan untuk menyerah. So, ketika masa sulit itu datang, meski kita masih berada di tengah perjalanan, jangan lupa untuk katakan padanya, "Let's holding hand, kita bisa menikmati hal yang indah kalau kita bersama-sama." 💕

For me, human relationships (both in terms of marriage and dating) are like climbing mountains. Difficult and certainly tiring. Easy at first, but not easy to maintain. That's why, I rarely do it, both climbing mountains and doing relationships (especially marriage, I wish only once for a life time). Because, the efforts that I need are huge, so when I decide to do that, I will seriously think about that 😄

Just like when we go up to the mountain, we always prepare many things as the first step. In any relationship, we also need to prepare ourselves with so many questions ahead of time. Are we strong enough to face all trials? Are we competent and reliable enough? And are we wise enough? Plus a million other fundamental questions 😁

Because it could be, when in the middle of the road to reach the top, we feel tired. Or the worst case, we want to give up. Meanwhile, we must continue to climb, but the road is too heavy and slippery. And we can't see anything except darkness and the sound of birds (what people says). Then somehow, only a glimmer of moonlight gives us hope, if someday, we will reach the top of our goal 😄

Read: My [ Our ] Future

Like others who also climb and fight, there will always a time when we feel happy. Maybe when we can see a lot of trees, or even interesting sights along the way. And as the relationship develops, I could say not everything is bad even though not all is beautiful 😍

The important thing is, rather than coming down from a mountain or our relationship, then say, "I want to give up!" - we better, rest. Because maybe, it could be, we just need a break, sit, drink, and look at the scenery (for all the memories and stories that we have shared).

However, everyone has different strengths and points of view. Even when we climb mountains with our partners, it doesn't mean our partners have the same strengths and perspectives as us. One can give up faster than the other. Or most likely, all can actually reach the top after holding hands. Because there are many things that can happen in the middle of our way and we will never know that.

And when our partners say that they are okay, they may actually not okay. And I'm sure, this is a big challenge because we have to survive with our relationship (climbing a mountain) when there are many opportunities to give up. So, when the hard times come, please don't forget to tell our partner, "Let's hold hands, I'm sure we can enjoy all of the beautiful things if we are holding hands." 💕 because,

저에게 있어서 인간관계(결혼 및 연애 둘다)는 산을 오르는 것과 같아요. 어렵고 진심 피곤해요. 처음에는 쉬운데 유지하기가 어려워요. 그래서 산을 오르는것과 관계를 맺는것 둘다 거의 안해요(특히 결혼은 인생에 한번만 했으면 해요). 왜냐면 들이는 공이 너무 크기 때문이에요. 그래서 그부분은 제가 정말 심각하게 원할때 할거에요 😄

산을 오르는 것 같이 우리는 항상 첫단계에서 많은것을 준비해요. 어떤 관계에서든 우리는 미리 많은 질문들을 스스로 준비해야되요. 우리가 모든 시련을 견딜만큼 강할까요? 우리가 충분히 유능하고 신뢰할 수 있을까요? 우리가 지혜로울까요? 그런 수만가지의 근본적인 질문들이 더 있어요 😁

왜냐면 정상에 가기 전에 지칠 수 있기 때문이에요. 최악의 경우 포기할 수 있어요. 계속 올라가야 하지만 몸이 무겁고 길이 미끄러워요. 또 어둠과 새소리(사람들의 소리) 외에는 아무것도 볼 수도 들을 수도 없어요. 어쨌든 달빛의 희미한 빛만이 언젠가는 우리 목표인 정상에 갈 수 있다는 희망을 줄 뿐이에요 😄

Read: My [ Our ] Future

등반을 하거나 싸우고있는 다른 사람들도 마찬가지로 항상 행복하다고 느끼는 때가 있어요. 아마 우리가 수많은 나무들을 보거나 길에서 놀라운 광경을 봤을 수 있어요. 그리고 관계가 발전함에 따라 모든것이 아름답지는 않지만 모든것이 나쁘다고도 할 수 없어요 😍

중요한 것은 산이나 관계에서 내려오는 것이아니라 "나는 포기하고 싶어" 라고 말하고 쉬는거에요. 왜냐면 우리는 그냥 휴식이 필요해서 앉아서 물을 마시고 풍경을 보면 될 수도 있기 때문이에요.

하지만 각자가 가진 힘이 다르고 괒넘이 달라요. 심지어 산을 오를 때 파트너가 우리와 같은 강점과 관점을 가지고 올라가는 것도 아니에요. 한사람이 더 빨리 포기할 수 있어요. 혹은 손을 잡고 모두가 정상에 도달할 수도 있어요. 도중에 일어날 수 있는 일이 많기 때문에 알지 못해요.

파트너가 안괜찮은데 괜찮다고 할 수도 있어요. 그리고 이건 포기할 수 있는 기회가 많을 때 관계속에서 살아남아야되기 때문에 큰 도전이에요. 따라서 시련이 오면 "손잡자 우리가 손잡으면 아름다운 모든 것들을 즐길 수 있을거야" 라고 말해주세요 💕 왜냐면,

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
