Bangkok and Lima are no doubt my favourite cities to experience food in general, but especially “fine dining”. If you read my feature on The Maker’s The Hit List, or Fine Dining Redefined in Hong Kong, you’ll know that this concept often makes me cringe. But a number of restaurants on the World’s 50 Best… Read More The House on Sathorn (BK): A Turkish-Asian Tasting Journey
There are definitely enough Korean ‘fusion’ restaurants in Hong Kong, including Moyo, Momojein and Kobab & Koshi, just to name a few that I did enjoy. But just when we thought the train of modern Korean restaurants had long set off, Chef Alvin Leung from One Michelin star Bo Innovation introduces yet another casual ‘urban’ take on Korean food.… Read More Bib n Hops: Casual Korean with Subtly Unique Flavours
Korean fusion or ‘modern Korean’ is no new trend. It was super hit about 1.5 years ago – that’s when I first tried Italian-Korean restaurant, Moyo – but the hype around kimchi-everything has definitely tapered off. Fads come and go but Momojein’s creative take on traditional Korean flavours goes far beyond kimchi grilled cheeses, focuses on quality and… Read More Momojein: Creative Take on Korean Food (Lunch & Dinner)
When I first visited Viet Kitchen, I was pumped for the beef pho, having read some good reviews. I was ultimately a tad disappointed because it wasn’t really my kind of pho. While the beef soup base was outstandingly full of flavours, it was the soft pho and beef cuts that I didn’t love too… Read More Viet Kitchen: New Menu Items Better than the Pho
Asian fusion, especially kimchi-everything, seems to be strongly trending in Hong Kong these days. Having sampled such fusion dishes myself, such as the kimchi bruschetta from Moyo, I do understand the addiction. That’s why I’ve even gone ahead to try these kimchi-fused dishes at home! Apart from actually making the kimchi (I’m not Korean enough… Read More Recipe for Kimchi Grilled Cheese and Kimchi Carbonara
I came here for dinner once and absolutely loved all the dishes we ordered, especially the Lobster Toastie. Given that dinners here can cost about HK$500 per person, coming here for lunch is one way you can taste their delicious Japanese fusion dishes on a more wallet-friendly budget. Of course, the menu is very different… Read More Try This: Mentaiko Pasta for Lunch at Tabibito
Little things count. And Cafe Gray certainly knows this. Their attention to details during our dinner was really what made the overall experience so memorable compared with other fine dining meals I’ve had in Hong Kong. The restaurant is located on the 49th floor of Upper House – a relatively new boutique hotel in Admiralty… Read More Cafe Gray Deluxe: Fine dining with delicious wines and breathtaking view
I usually make sure I get out of the office for lunch, even if it’s a short one. I headed over to Wo On Lane (tucked within Lan Kwai Fong) in Central and decided to try this relatively new Korean fusion gourmet fast food. Good reviews and photos of their juicy burger was what arouse… Read More Quick burgers and korritos at Kobab & Koshi in Central
As foreign as an IBK “Italian born Korean” (one of the pioneers of Moyo) is to me, so is the union of these two cuisines. The results are intriguingly not strange though, definitely a credit to the successfully unique ideas this kitchen is cooking! Here are some of the delicious dishes I sampled on my… Read More Korean food meets Italian at new restaurant Moyo
I’ve visited Thailand four times in the past year… That’s proof of how much I love Thai food! Thai food in Hong Kong’s Kowloon City We sort of have a “Thai town” here in Kowloon City – here you can get a range of local Thai products (like the menthol nose inhaler I once got hooked… Read More Modern Thai flavours at new favourite Chachawan
