Fake “Beef” Incident @ HK
Hong Kong is known for its wide selection of cuisines. People enjoy the delicacies but at the same time, they always have an overshadowing fear of not knowing what is in their food. This dilemma arises from the numerous news report in China with regards to how unethical food manufacturers use all sorts of methods [...]
Refreshing Treats For the Hot Weather
Walking under the hot sun in Hong Kong is like putting yourself in a humid sauna room — you instantly start sweating and you will not stop until you go indoors into an air-conditioned building.

Food Finds @ HK: XTC Gelato
One of the best part about Hong Kong is the food! My most recent delicious Food Find is XTC Gelato. Riding on the low-fat trend, XTC makes some really amazing-tasting gelato.

Best Soft-Boiled Eggs Ever
It’s just been about 3 weeks in HK now. The kitchen still feels amazingly tiny and lacking (which makes me that much more thankful for all the space and tools I have in Vancouver). Anyways, enough whining from me! Tweet This Post
Food Trends @ HK: Quinoa
Yes, quinoa is the new hot topic! Honestly, I never dreamed of seeing the word “quinoa” in Hong Kong. The last time I heard, brown rice just gained acceptance among the general public and barely made it to their dinner table (and most often it is mixed in with white rice to make it taste [...]
