To celebrate our wedding anniversary this weekend, we went to Inakaya to try the robatayaki (a Japanese style of cooking food on a grill). Located on the 101st floor of ICC, the tallest building in Hong Kong, this restaurant is one of the few elite restaurants that are part of Sky Dining 101.
Another favorite winter warmer of mine, is the classic French Onion Soup ~ made with savory beef broth, sweet caramelized onions and topped with melted Gruyère cheese and crunchy croutons. This bistro classic is popular because of it’s deliciously rich and comforting flavors.
Hysan Place houses a long list of restaurants, giving Causeway Bay shoppers a lot more dining options. It has taken me quite a while to try out most of the restaurants in this rather new shopping mall. And because of the queues in front of the Shanghainese restaurant, The Dining Room (南小館), it has taken me even longer to try this place out. We finally got ourselves into The Dining Room for lunch a few weekends ago. Read more >>

However, in recent years, this fruit has become more popular (and available) with the recognition of its nutritional value and health benefits. Read more >>
On cold winter days like today, having hot pot for dinner to keep warm is quite popular among Hong Kong locals. I myself prefer to cuddle up to a bowl of hot and spicy Chili Con Carne.
If you’re looking to grab a sandwich for lunch in Central, I recommend you try out Panino Giusto. This Milanese sandwich joint is new to Hong Kong, but opened its first store in Milan in 1979 and claims to be the “best panini in town”. Read more >>
