July 14, 2009 Edit: This restaurant is open for business again.
This new restaurant I’m about to talk about is one you’ll never be able to try (i.e. no amount of money will you get you a seat here) … because I think they closed down already … effectively making this the most pointless entry ever. [...]

April 15 (Bloomberg) — Here’s a tip: April 20 is the night of the year to avoid dining out in London. It’s the date of the S. Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurant Awards and you’re more likely to see [...]
So here it is … Tony’s dishes prepared in about an hour (except for the braised pork beef cheek) for a group of 12-13? Imagine what he could do if he had actually given it a little more thought, creativity and if he had more time to cook!
Here I was taking a photo when everyone’s [...]
So who the heck is “TC” anyway? Good question.
You may remember when I was explaining a little somethin’ somethin’ about salt in a previous post? Well, it was “TC” (or Tony) who told me about it. Please excuse the secrecy surrounding his identity but he’s currently in the process of putting together a very hush-hush [...]
On our final day in Hokkaido, we only had time for one more meal … and had I known about Sushi Zen, I suppose we would’ve just stayed in Sapporo. Instead, we took at 30-minute JR train ride to Otaru (quite a bit of trouble for lunch don’t you think?), which is a sea-side town [...]
Again, using Google technology (and why not? Japan’s cities is one of Google’s most mapped-out places on earth!), you’ll find the Ramen Alley (??????) if you right click the arrow (right arrow) 5 times.

You’ll see a nightclub called “Club Taliswomen” (lol, I like how they just turned “Talisman” into “Taliswoman” which makes no sense), [...]
As mentioned, this restaurant is connected with the market next door, serving only the freshest of seafood “straight from the sea!”. The decor is pretty simple and while we were there at 3-4PM, there were surprisingly quite a few groups of people coming in to enjoy the seafood, and most of them are local! Somehow, [...]
Not exactly Nijo Fish Market, but pretty similar. Nijuyonken Seafood Market is situated about 10 minutes (by foot) east from the Nijuyonken Station.

Its definitely not SiuYeh-style if I had only taken photos without reporting to you what the food was like … and not-so-coincidentally, there was a restaurant (which is part of the same [...]
We had just taken a 3-hour bus ride from Niseko to Sapporo. Fatigue and hunger struck us like crazy … so we just walked into anything decent that was within a 50 meter radius from our hotel. And what do you think caught our attention?

A really really big King Crab!
The End.
Haha … not really. [...]
Next in line …
Kobe Beef Sirloin at 100g (for each person) … possibly one of the finest piece of raw beef I’ve ever seen …
Before the chef goes on his mission to grill those sacred Kobes, we were served this freshly harvest salad with Japanese Garlic / Onion dressing (I don’t remember). It was really [...]
