August 5 – Day 5
Dinner @ 7:00PM
While I’m not sure what to think about the name, I’ve heard many praises about the restaurant since I’ve been living in Shanghai some 2 years ago.
I was finally able to visit the restaurant and ordered myself a steak called something along the lines of T800 Sirloin Steak – [...]
August 4 – Day Four
Dinner @ 6:30PM
A friend from Shanghai was treating us to dinner and brought us to Cui Ting Xuan Restaurant. To be honest, I have no clue what kind of Chinese cuisine it was – its unmistakenly Chinese alright. It might’ve been “Chinese fusion cuisine”.
My friend even ordered abalone as appetizers! It [...]
August 3 – Day Three
Lunch @ 2:00PM

Their food is not bad, [...]

August 2 – Day Two
There were 3 places I would consistently visit with my friends when I was working in Shanghai. One was Dragonfly (a joint that is catered mostly to foreign tourists), Tai Pan and Evergreen. The latter two target mostly tourists and expats (working professionals) from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Japan.
Evergreen remains [...]
I’ve been waiting to visit this place ever since I started writing this blog. I wanted to share with my readers, what it means to eat midnight snack, the Hong Kong way.
The restaurant I’m about to share is one of the true “hole-in-the-wall” restaurant that serves up some mean dishes. Choi Kei (??) is located [...]
On the way home from work, I decided to make a detour in Wanchai for some Hong Kong-style Egg Waffle or what’s more commonly known as “Gai Daan Jai” (???). Usually, they can be found in most street snack outlets serving next to equally famed curry fishballs – these two usually go hand-in-hand, although more [...]
