This was a short piece I wrote for Angliss’ in-house newsletter a couple weeks back. I thought maybe I’d reproduce it here. Enjoy! And thanks eting for the opportunity.

When Michelin Guide Enters China
The Michelin Guide Hong Kong Macau 2010 hit the shelves with a lot less fanfare compared to its inaugural launch last year, but [...]
Not going to go into much detail here. Just wanted to let you all know (if you haven’t heard already) that there’s an all-you-can-eat dimsum lunch menu at Shang Palace at Shenzhen Shangri-la Hotel for only RMB 98! I think between my friend and I, for RMB 196 (Yes! RMB 98 per head and no [...]
After a couple days in Xi’an eating their local delicacies, it got just a little too heavy for us and we’ve opted for something a little lighter and closer to home: Cantonese cuisine in Xi’an! WOW! Adventurous.
Here’s a short excerpt from the hotel’s website: “Authentic Cantonese cuisine ranging from traditional dim sum to freshly homemade [...]
So I was in Xi’an again recently and some locals told me about this new(ish) concept called “BT 翅” or “BT Wings”. I’m not sure if this only applies to Xi’an, or whether BT is present throughout China. Whatever it is, its marketing ploy worked because I was on the next cab to find out [...]
I voted on the Miele Guide a month or 2 ago and I’m really happy to see Jia Jia Tang Bao (佳家汤包) on the list! And then I realized I’ve been meaning to write about the restaurant since June last year (yes, 10 months ago) … and I still haven’t gotten around to doing it. [...]

I’m addicted to Youku.com … again, credits to Steven Lin for all the crazy stuff happening in China.
Smoking Baby in Sichuan
SLR + Turbo Top Speed on Yan’an Highway
Nuts. What’s even crazier is the way the kid’s smoking doesn’t seem like a first time for him. Irresponsible parenting.
Not exactly food, but these photos definitely deserve some server and bandwidth space. This is perhaps, 1 of 2 reasons why I visited Xi’an in the first place!
What you’re seeing here (Pit 1, 2, 3 and 4 – although there’s nothing in Pit 4) took 720,000 people a lifetime to build. Dubbed the “8th Wonder [...]
I would be doing you, my loyal visitors (and fellow food bloggers) a huge disservice if I hadn’t report to you Xi’an’s Snack Street … nicknamed “回民小吃一条街” (Hui Min Xiao Chi Yi Tiao Jie) or “回坊风情街” (Hui Fang Feng Qing Jie) … I was already full from De Fa Chang, but my senses were begging [...]
