After what seems like more than 9 months with at the QRE Plaza with signage that says “Fat Burger: Coming Soon” (or something to that effect), I thought it was never going to happen. I thought maybe the burger chain got into some bad disputes with the building owner even before they started operating. But [...]
I got this from an email forward titled “How the Chinese beat Pizza Hut in China” and found it very amusing. I remember doing something similar at a local Pizza Hut when I was a kid, of course, not piling up nearly as much. Actually, I haven’t dined inside a Pizza Hut in so long, [...]
Edit: New Entry on Dakota Prime (December 5, 2008)
The talk of the town last night was the grand opening of Dakota Prime, a steak house … that apparently isn’t really a steak house. Their slogan is “Hong Kong’s first ‘Anti-steakhouse’ steakhouse” and when I asked what that really means, the simple answer I got was: [...]
Ever heard of Awfully Chocolate?
The franchise opened its Hong Kong franchise today over at 2 Hysan Road – the franchise now boasts a presence in 6 cities across Asia; the other 5 being Singapore, Beijing, Jakarta, Shanghai and Taipei.

I think many of us here were really excited when Krispy Kreme came to Hong Kong about 2 years ago. I’ve been a regular ever since and I would visit any of their branches at least once a week. Unfortunately, unlike the US, Krispy Kreme here did not pass out free donuts while you line [...]

One of my favorite restaurants (I know, I use the term “favorite” way too much, it not very effective anymore) in Causeway Bay is none other than SNAKE KING TWO! I’m sure that’s that the real English name for 蛇王二, but that’s the literal translation and I can’t be bothered to change it.
Their signature dish [...]
In general, I think there are 2 camps of “steak houses” in Hong Kong. There’s the “authentic steak house” such as The Steak House at InterCon, Ruth’s Chris and The Mandarin Grill, etc. Then there’s the old-school local steak restaurants, such as Boston Restaurant (?????), and a few others that serve steak on a hot [...]
Went to watch Cirque du Soleil’s Zaia at the Venetian with a group of highschool friends over the weekend and we booked Café Litoral in Taipa, which is about a 5 minute walk from the Venetian. Unlike Litoral Restaurant over at the Macau island, Café Litoral offers a slightly smaller selection I believe. The restaurant [...]
Sometimes, the best food is the simplest.
And sometimes when all the fancy stuff don’t fill you up during dinner, you need to look forward to something with a little more substance for Siu Yeh!
My favorite combo. The best thing about Tsuen Kee is, its open late!
