Chicha: Great Peruvian Food

About a year ago, I went to Chicha for a company event and was subsequently left with fond memories of their delicious dishes. I finally made it back to this restaurant with my hubby and some great friends a few weeks ago.

This absolutely fab restaurant has so many good reviews online, you might think why am I even bothering to write about this place again. It’s because this place is too good to not share with you. To be honest, I’ve never had Peruvian food before so I wouldn’t be able to tell you whether or not the food is authentic, but I could tell you for sure, the food is DELICIOUS. Read more >>

I guess there is no shortage of Vietnamese restaurants in Hong Kong, but you would probably agree there aren’t many upscale ones. An Nam (安南) opened up in Causeway Bay recently, and is filling the gap of absent good quality Vietnamese restaurants in HK. Read more >>

Crazy for Ramen? Try Ramen Jo

Spicy Ramen

I’ve come to the conclusion that Hongkies are crazy about Japanese ramen. If you live in Hong Kong, you wouldn’t need to ask to know how I came up with this. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m referring to the long queues of people waiting outside of ramen shops at all hours of the day. Ichiran Ramen, Butao Ramen, Hakata Ippudo are examples of ramen shops that you can see long queues of hungry Hongkies waiting for a hot bowl of Japanese ramen.

I’ve never been a fan of queueing for hours for food [in fact, I’m not a fan of queueing for anything], so I prefer ramen establishments with shorter wait times. If you’re not in for waiting for 90 minutes at 8am for a good bowl of ramen, I recommend trying Ramen Jo. Tucked away in Causeway Bay on Caroline Hill street, this little ramen shop offers tasty noodles with short waiting times. I’ve never had to wait for more than 15 minutes out of the few visits I’ve made to this ramen place. Read more >>

Saturday Lunch at Sushi Fuku-Suke

It was more than 3 years ago when we accidentally discovered this little gem.  It was during a time when the Causeway Bay building where Sushi Fuku-Suke is located was filled with Japanese restaurants.  After the Japan tsunami, many of those restaurants closed down, but Sushi Fuku-Suke withstood this period where Hong Kong people were afraid to eat Japan-imported food.  And I believe it had everything to do with the authentic and consistently quality food they serve and doing it at reasonable prices.  To this day, this is a restaurant we keep going back to when we feel like good quality Japanese food.
