50s Wanton Mee – Quality Hong Kong Wanton Mee

50s Wanton Mee (formerly named Hong Kong Wanton Mee) at ABC Market has been enjoying a fair bit of business from my family lately. This is despite the handful of other stalls (including Fatty Cheong) that also sell wanton mee (noodle with Chinese dumpling). Well, let’s just say it’s hard not to like the food, or the endearing elderly couple running the stall! The... Read more →

Xin Wang Hong Kong Café – More Than Just Hong Kong Fares

As someone that really enjoys checking out new restaurants, there still are a number of eating establishments that I remain loyal to. The sambal stingray at rong guang, indonesian grilled chicken, assam prawns at Bakerzin, and sweet red curry at Lerk Thai are some dishes that frequently give me cravings and keep me going back for more. (I know right now you are probably... Read more →

Macau Express – Expressway to Macau!

With the tens of thousands of people thronging the Singapore expo every weekend, the food outlets there must enjoy brisk business! Of these dozen or so restaurants that get to see a steady stream of diners, one of them is Macau express, a no-frills eatery promising Macanese cuisine. While Macanese cuisine does sound exotic, it is actually quite similar to Hong Kong cuisine,... Read more →

Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant – Toast of Hong Kong

Do you like toast? I happen to love it! Toast ranks right next to waffles and pancakes as one of my favorite snacks. With the commonest ingredients and a toaster (or charcoal), you can easily whip up some toast and it doesn’t even take much time. More importantly, it is fuss-free! With toast, it gives me a good excuse not to learn cooking. My favorite is French toast... Read more →

Man Jia Le – Full of Hong Kong Snacks

When I went on my solo trip to Hong Kong last year, the perpetually rainy weather was a real downer. But there are a few things I would still miss about Hong Kong such as its wide plethora of snacks and desserts, many of which employ a large use of bread or mango. I haven’t been to far East plaza for a long time. All along I felt that it’s a place for kids... Read more →

C-Jade Express – An Express to be Missed! [Closed]

The Crystal Jade chain is famed for dishing out consistently good food along with good service. My previous visit to Crystal Jade la mian xiao long bao left me with a deep and lasting positive impression of the place. Its latest foray into the fast-food market comes in the form of a Hong Kong style coffee shop, c-jade express. In true fast-food style, the menu is printed... Read more →

Hong Kong (Day 5)

I vaguely remember waking up at 10am before deciding to snooze for a couple more minutes. The next thing I know, it’s 11:40am! And I have to get my butt out of the hotel by 12! Fortunately when I call up the hotel reception, the robotic female voice on the other end agree to let me have an additional hour to pack. That’s the thing about the hotel; the service... Read more →

Hong Kong (Day 4) – Trip to Macau

Last day for sightseeing. I had the alarm clock ring at 8am, and I got barely two hours of sleep behind me! Made my way to the pier to take a ferry to Lantau Island. (more…)  Read more →

Hong Kong (Day 3)

I woke up feeling hung over from the previous night, at 1pm! I was utterly shocked when I saw the time on the clock; I was sure it wasn’t working. And then I realised I had a headache. If my phone hadn’t rang, I wouldn’t even have woken up. By then, half the day was already gone! Decided to go check out the ladies’ market and ended up spending the... Read more →

Hong Kong (Day 2)

my second day in Hong Kong kicked off with a bad start. Went to the tram terminal to catch the tram to the peak. The tram had moved about thirty meters away from the terminal before it stalled completely. After about half an hour of fiddling with this and that, the drivers decided the tram had engine problems. They somehow managed to move it back to the terminal where... Read more →
