After finishing a client meeting in Causeway Bay late one night (it was around 11PM), I felt a little hungry and decided to have my legs take me to anywhere within a 50 meter radius. Well, the place needs to be pretty decent of course … Anyway, I ended up with Chi Kee Wonton Noodle [...]
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.
The have an interesting concept. The store decor has a very minimalist black and white feel to [...]
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.

This restaurant is famous for its deep-fried pork plus vegetable rice, so my colleagues and I decided to check it out.
The pork and rice wasn’t bad, but wasn’t steaming hot when we got it. Maybe that’s because we got there at around 3PM-ish … The pork was a little sweet too, but I would’ve preferred [...]

That was, until I found out about Ireland’s Potato. They serve some serious made-to-order fries and apparently, they are also very serious about their potato. Here’s their slogan:
“There are two things in the world that can’t be joked: [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
As you would expect, there are several tiers of Japanese restaurants in Hong Kong. There are ones for the masses, usually offering average-quality sushi along carousel / conveyor belts such as Genki Sushi (????). Quality is consistent but selection, especially on different types of raw fishes, is limited.
Then there are restaurants that are beyond my [...]
