Singer-actress and A Taste of Hong Kong host Josie Ho invited well-followed travelers from around the region to spend ‘a-day-in-her-life’ on an insider tour of the city, one of whom is Kryz Uy, a Cebu-based travel and lifestyle blogger who travels around the world to meet new people and gain new experiences. Josie and Kryz are joined by Daphne Charice, an upcoming singer and Malaysian party and lifestyle blogger who shares her adventures with her family, best friends, daily events and special encounters.
The group went on a unique 24-hour tour of Hong Kong, with stops in the city’s most iconic and Instagram-worthy destinations, and visits to its most interesting food haunts.

In this season of A Taste of Hong Kong, viewers will get a glimpse of Hong Kong’s visually stimulating locations such as Old Town Central, a contrasting neighborhood and amazing landmark destination revealing over 100years of Hong Kong history. Kryz expressed, “If Old Town Central alone already has so many things to offer, I can’t imagine what else the rest of Hong Kong awaits me.”
While exploring Old Town Central Kryz also met fellow bag designer Cecilia Ma, one of the Vogue Talents in 2015. Upon meeting Hong Kong-based bag designer Cecilia, Kryz felt that sudden connection. “We instantly clicked because I myself is also a bag designer and when I saw Cecilia’s bags and their quirky designs, I was just like, that is so my aesthetic,” says Kryz.
