I stumbled upon the Envy apple at Market Place by Jasons one night, and captivated by its name I put some in my grocery cart. I gave them a try the next day, and I absolutely loved them. They were deliciously sweet, crispy and tasty [everything one can look for in a good apple]. Read more >>
Yoku Moku has opened up in the prestigious IFC mall this month, so for those who love this delicate buttery confection, you don’t have to travel to Japan to get them [though I’m not certain whether or not you can find these in Hong Kong already, since you can pretty much buy everything in this small city].
I read on Yoku Moku’s website, the key to their delicate and crispy Yoku Moku cookies is the “golden balance” of the natural ingredients including butter, sugar, eggs, flour, almonds and vanilla. And they claim the secret flavor to their cookies is the Hokkaido butter [and if I were to venture a guess, lots of it].

I decided to start this Hong Kong food blog about a week ago. The thought of starting a blog never crossed my mind, until a friend commented on a Facebook post I made of my previous night’s dinner.

A blog would be a great portal for me to share my food adventures.
