Last week I was invited to attend a blogger event, Foodie x iPick hosted at Kushiyaki Beco. It was an enjoyable night of food tasting and sampling of a new social food app, iPick.
Kishoku
Going out for weekend brunches is a ritual that a lot of couples in Hong Kong have adopted. And for us, these brunches involve exploring new Japanese restaurants for their sushi and sashimi lunch sets. Quality sushi restaurants usually charge an arm and a leg for their omakase dinner’s, so by trying their lunch sets first (which are significantly cheaper) allows us to decide whether we would like to go back for the chef’s selection.
Kishoku, located just behind Times Square on Yiu Wa Street, is one of those restaurants where you would want to try their omakase dinner’s. Read more >>
Linguine with Mushroom Cream Sauce
I was planning to whip up a simple mushroom cream sauce pasta dish and wasn’t sure if I could find some good mushroom’s at the wet market. So, I was so happy to come across some lovely cremini mushroom’s at my favorite organic veggie stall. If you lived in Hong Kong, you would understand my struggles and frustrations of finding the ingredients you needed. Read more >>
Stack: Pancakes in Sai Ying Pun
I’m here to share with you another addition to the growing Sai Ying Pun food scene, Stack. Tucked away on the corner of Third Street, this funky joint serves American-style pancakes both day and night. Not to be confused with the typical All Day Breakfast restaurant’s like the Flying Plan, Stack serves a creative dinner menu of sweet and savory pancakes designed to be paired with cocktails.

U-Hang: New Addition to Sai Ying Pun
I’ve always found it exhilarating to discover new restaurants with great food unexpectedly. Last Friday evening, hubby and I were strolling along High Street in Sai Ying Pun to find some food to fill our growling stomachs. We stumbled upon U-Hang, and thinking it was a new Spanish tapas restaurant, we walked in without looking at the menu. A glance at the menu, and we realized it was a Korean resto!
Heads up, the photos here are taken with my new iPhone 6 camera (touched up a bit in Lightroom), tell me what you think of the quality?
My Great Love: Ketchup Chips
If you are Canadian, you would know what ketchup chips are. For those who aren’t, you might cringe at the idea of ketchup flavor chips. But if you think about it, ketchup is used a condiment for many potato dishes ~ French fries, potato hash and Shepard’s pie, so why not a chip flavor? Read more >>
Cantonese Style Tomato Beef and Egg
When I was growing up, the one dish that my mom and grandma made all the time, and one that I loved to eat, was the Tomato, Beef and Egg. This delicious home-style dish is quick and easy to make and is healthy as well! It’s so easy to make, I think this was the first Canto dish I cooked for hubby when we were still dating. Read more >>
