Hong Kong Scene : Kowloon Restaurant Blocks!

Hey there!

So, let's talk about this Citistory Lego-compatible set that landed in my life courtesy of my travel-savvy hubby. He's on a work trip, swings by Hong Kong, and lo behold – he finds this old-school Kowloon restaurant scene set by Citistory. Total #MyVibe moment, right? Naturally, he snags it for me, confident that my love for mini Hong Kong life has begun.

Now, this set's got 381 pieces – a breeze for any Lego enthusiast, taking just under 2 hours to piece together. But here's the get this: the packaging strategy is a bit like a puzzle itself. Blocks are everywhere, not following the handy instruction booklet's order.It took me some time to sort the block out, but after sorting, everything was a breeze.

Fast forward to the big reveal – the end product is a solid "nice." The restaurant's interior? Adorable. But the exterior? It's like, "Eh, I'm here too." Worth the grab? Sure, it's nice, though not a Lego-building maestro like the OGs. Yet, the flooring, the menu sign – they hit me right in the nostalgia feels.

Here's what I think: as a standalone piece, it's not stealing the spotlight. Maybe building it as a full set, it would shine brighter. It was a blast to build, but if you're aiming for a jaw-dropping display, this might not be the star player. Kudos to the hubby, though – Hong Kong charm, though didn't really hit the spot, was quite fun! 🌟
