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 (財記) 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” (雞蛋仔). 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 [...]

Chose Tai Hing Roast Restaurant for lunch with my partners today. One of my partners is absolutely crazy about their BBQ pork rice or more commonly known as “char siu” (叉烧) rice. I chose a more conservative half chicken, half BBQ pork rice (inset) – eating there never disappoints. You can always count on their [...]

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 [...]

Hong Kong is known to be a Gourmet Paradise (美食天堂). In fact, if you Google the term in both English and Chinese, the first hit is almost always “DiscoverHongKong – Gourmet Paradise” – its probably commissioned by the city’s tourism board (HKTB) to have the results rank so high.
There’s an abundance of seafood, cuisines from [...]

Got an SMS from a friend yesterday, telling me the Hainan Chicken Rice (海南雞飯) at Café Causette in the Mandarin Oriental is second to none. Since I was having dinner out tonight with a few friends (and they can’t seem to decide where to go), I suggested that we try this place. To my surprise, [...]

I came across this while waiting for my ferry to visit Kau Sai Chau for my weekly golf lessons – I almost forgot people still sell seafood this way.
Sai Kung’s pier is one of the few traditional spots in Hong Kong, where locals and tourists alike can still get a good look at their seafood [...]

I told my partners I’m going to start a blog on food and to their dismay, their response was “Not another food blog!”, “As if there aren’t blogs about food already” … and encouraging remarks along those lines. I was not to be deterred and strategically convinced them to join me for lunch at one [...]
