I’ve heard many good things about Aberdeen Street Social. I knew it was a perfect spot for after work cocktails, especially given its casual relaxing vibes within PMQ, which kind of takes you away from office-building-vibes. But since “casual British dining” is rarely my craving, I had only managed to visit for drinks until recently. … Read More Aberdeen Street Social: A Simple Satisfying Set Menu (8-31 Aug 2016)
Few places generate as much hype as Rhoda has and then live up to it too.

Some Friday lunch times, I feel like exploring new places and cafes are my favourite things to discover. Why 50 quickly came to mind because I had seen it on the Foodie website and this new coffee shop discovery phone app, Kawa, also recommended it. It’s located in Sheung Wan, which turned out to be a… Read More Why 50: New Favourite Coffee Shop in Sheung Wan
I always knew Grand Hyatt Steakhouse was one of the most “must-try” steakhouses in Hong Kong. After such roaring reviews, inevitably came the skeptics who felt it didn’t live up to expectations or that it was too expensive.

From talking Bep/Nha Trang to Viet Kitchen, to my latest favourite beef pho spot, Bun Cha, it’s clear that I love my Vietnamese food. While my Vietnamese ventures almost always consist of ordering beef pho, Le Garcon Saigon focuses on Southern cuisine, where beef pho is apparently not as big a thing – well basically… Read More Le Garcon Saigon: New Southern Vietnamese
When a meal is outstandingly delicious but also extremely expensive, I’m often stuck on whether to recommend it or not. I mean given the extortionate price, how yummy could yummy be?
