If you’re looking for authentic Shanghainese food in Hong Kong, this is the place to visit. There are 2 branches, one in North Point (Hong Kong Island) and the other in Tsim Sha Tsui (Kowloon). My folks think the TST branch serve better food, and since we’ve hardly ever been back to the other restaurant, [...]
Just had a feast at one of my dad’s favorite restaurant, Tomokazu Japanese Restaurant (友和日本料理). Its been around for at least 20 years and is frequented by lots of celebrities and socialites (not that I really care) … but that says something about the quality of its food. Personally, I think they are one of [...]
One of my favorite “fastfood” restaurant in town is Kau Kee (九記) on Gough Street, where they serve the best beef noodle soup. I say “fastfood” because during rush hour, especially during lunch, don’t expect to be able to sit and chat with your buddies. You sit, order, eat and leave within 15 minutes and [...]
This is what you’ve waiting for, I know. You’re welcome.
I came across this list in a local publication (please see below for source). Unfortunately, I’ve never been to any of these restaurants so I can’t tell you if they really live up to their expectations. If you’ve been to any of them, I invite you [...]
Not exactly a food blog, but an interesting find nonetheless.
I was walking along Hollywood Road and decided to walk up the stairs on Shing Wong Road when I came across this old-school “Shanghainese” barber shop. Wash, cut and shave for some HKD 50 dollars. The shop had 2 seats and as you can see in [...]
My first time visiting Bonheur was Christmas Eve last year with a group of close friends. The set dinner + service charge was about HKD 800 but it was worth every penny.
The restaurant has been around for 3 years already and has attracted a legion of food buffs from around the city. One of the [...]
Green Cottage / Yin Ping Vietnamese Restaurant is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the city; the other being Nha Trang (??????). Having never visited Vietnam before, I don’t think I’m in a position to comment on the authenticity of their dishes – especially after spending time in Toronto and Los Angeles, where [...]
One of our clients (clients from my REAL job) gave us a box of cupcakes as treats – who am I to say no to that?!
Over the last 3-4 years, cupcakes have taken Hong Kong by storm. Complete Deelite was the first to establish, followed by Babycakes and a few others and they seem to [...]
My first time visiting Gough 40 for dinner – I’ve been their twice previously for lunch – and the food is terrific.
Their lunch menu was and is a great bargain. If memory serves right, the lunch set was less than HKD 100, which comes with an appetizer and a main course plus drinks.
The dinner menu [...]
Chinese herbal tea, commonly known as “Leung Cha” (??) which literally translate to “chilled tea” is very common in Hong Kong. Unlike Mainland China, where such herbal remedy only comes in packets of dried concentrates (to be mixed with hot or cold water, depending on which type of tea) and sold in supermarkets, Hong Kong [...]
