    Hokkaido Day 1: Melt Bar and Grill at Hilton Niseko Village

    So after another 2.5-hours bus ride from New Chitose Airport to Niseko Village, and another 30 minutes to check in, settle down and decide where to eat, we were already starving again. Afterall, what we had at the airport was only a snack. At the time, the sushi and teppanyaki restaurants at the Hilton were [...]


    Dakota Prime

    THE. BEST. STEAK. EVER. PERIOD.
    Yes, it was better than Morton’s Steakhouse.
    Yes, it was better than the Steak House at the InterContinental Hong Kong.
    Yes, it trumped all my other experiences involving steak.

    Wu Ji "Sichuan" Spicy Hotpot (吳記麻辣火鍋) from Taiwan

    August 1 – Day One
    Siu Yeh @ 11:00 PM
    Wu Ji Spicy Hotpot has always been the go-to place if I wanted Sichuan-style (read: VERY NUMBING SPICY) hotpot in Shanghai. The “麻辣” in the name should be a warning for most of you who can’t take spicy food, because this … this is REALLY spicy. Don’t [...]


    Magushi on Peel Street

    Yakitori restaurants have been around for a very long time, but they continue to pop up in drove. Just recently, another one called Magushi opened on Peel Street in Soho so I thought I’d try it with my brother. Its about a 5 minute walk so I had greeted the folks at the restaurant in [...]
