The first time I visited Popsy Modern Kitchen was for brunch and I remember…. The food was alright – I ordered lamb chops. But with so many different meals lined up each week, you have to be even better than ‘good’ in Hong Kong. When I finally returned to try out their British themed ‘Mockingbird Experience’ menu (book… Read More Popsy Modern Kitchen: A Quirky Creative Dining Experience
Seafood restaurants have always been a thing in my family – almost all of us are in love with every single type of seafood. So we used to go regularly to Sing Kee in Sai Kung, our favourite restaurant for a lobster feast. But since its quality of service rapidly deteriorated, I have been itching to find another place… Read More Table: Killer Lobster Bisque and Depurated Seafood
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)
Some Friday lunch times, I feel like exploring new places and cafes are my favourite things to discover.

Of course, the menu is very different… Read More Try This: Mentaiko Pasta for Lunch at Tabibito

When you’ve been having cappuccino everyday for the past years of working, Starbucks gets a little boring and mediocre. I usually switch between Coffee of the Day (the bargain option), Cappuccino and Ristretto Bianco (a stronger version of cappuccino to put it unprofessionally). If even these options are getting old, treat yourself to something better. Here are… Read More 4 best cappuccinos in Hong Kong
Located up the hill from Hollywood Road in the trendy area of Sheung Wan – what some call PoHo – the surroundings of hipster tea cafe Teakha is quite relaxed. It’s too bad that Hong Kong rents are so high that these places can’t afford to be spacious and have a comfortable interior at the… Read More Try this: Green tea cheesecake and Thai tea from Teakha
Sheung Wan is always the best place to go for brunch or coffee in Hong Kong – it’s the only area with so much choice. Thankfully, the latest recommendation I’ve been hearing about is pretty good at both. I finally brought myself to this relatively convenient area (Cleverly street) where The Cupping Room is located. Though not the… Read More Great combination of coffee and brunch at The Cupping Room
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
