There are 2 Epoch Coffee Bar & Desserterie’s – 1 in Taikoo Shing and another on Star Street, next to Yomama. (Speaking of Yomama, Siuyeh heard there’ll be a new location in IFC2 soon. Woohoo!). The one I’m blogging about is the branch in Wanchai, which apparently is a popular location amongst local film directors [...]

… sorry, I just had to do it. Lame, I know. The name was just begging me to do it. But its good branding, no? Its sticky. “Let’s go to … Yomama!” … “Umm … What d’you call me?!”
I have to say though, I wasn’t a big fan of yoghurt ice cream. I love the [...]

How it all began … I lost a bet to a buddy of mine in badminton and the stake was: loser has to treat the winner to a fairly decent bottle of wine valued at no more than HK$ 1,500 to be savored with a group of friends. Ouch! Luckily for me, the event somehow [...]

There are quite a few “All You Can Eat” hotpot places in town. I still remember when I was in highschool … back in the day when quality means less to me than quantity, my buddies and I would go to Hei Yuet Hotpot Seafood Restaurant (喜悅火鍋海鮮酒家) for HK$ 98 all-you-can-eat-AND-DRINK (!!!) hotpots. Can you [...]

Sticking to my promise that Siuyeh.com is as much about local delicacies as it is to culture and all things tradition, I present to you Chan Chi Ying Medical Clinic (陳志英醫館) on Lockhart Road in Wanchai-borderline-Causeway Bay (under the bridge, next to OK convenient store). This place has been around for over 40 years now [...]

一碗麵 (or literally “one bowl of noodle”) has been the subject of many blogs since it opened 3 to 4 years ago, so I suppose it is nothing special that I write about the place. Rather, I want to use 一碗麵 as a platform to talk about the surrounding neighborhood (Star Street) and some of [...]

In general, I think there are 2 camps of “steak houses” in Hong Kong. There’s the “authentic steak house” such as The Steak House at InterCon, Ruth’s Chris and The Mandarin Grill, etc. Then there’s the old-school local steak restaurants, such as Boston Restaurant (波士頓餐廳), and a few others that serve steak on a hot [...]

Sometimes, the best food is the simplest.
And sometimes when all the fancy stuff don’t fill you up during dinner, you need to look forward to something with a little more substance for Siu Yeh!
My favorite combo. The best thing about Tsuen Kee is, its open late!

He calls himself the “Demon Chef”.
He even tattooed “厨魔” (“Demon Chef” in Chinese) on his upper right arm.
He’s had no formal culinary training before.
His looks appears to be a complete opposite of that of a well-groomed gourmet chef.
And his restaurant has also been referred to as the “El Bulli” of Hong Kong with 5-star ratings [...]
