After two months of mostly staying indoors because of Hong Kong’s 5th wave of Covid, I decided to ask my friend May if she wanted to go out for brunch during the long Easter weekend. She agreed, and when I asked her to choose among 3 restaurants I picked out of a line up – […]
CNY 2022 @ Frites & West Kowloon Park
The fun thing about Chinese New Year in Hong Kong is that you get 3 public holidays. In Singapore there’s only 2, while Philippines has only one. So yesterday, I met up with my friends May, Beulah and King to celebrate CNY at Frites in Tai Kok Tsui. I know, it’s not Chinese food, but we’re […]
Adrian’s Farewell @ The Optimist
It was my colleague Adrian’s last day at work yesterday, so we Filipino colleagues had a farewell lunch for him last Thursday at a restaurant called The Optimist. Here’s their set lunch menu: I got the gambas al aljillo for appetizers, braised beef cheeks for main, and chocolate brownie for dessert. Everything was delicious, though […]
New Year’s Day 2022
Today I met up with Guohao’s friend Vivian, who had moved from Singapore to Hong Kong last month. Guohao had sent some stuff for me through her, and vice versa, so we agreed to meet up for lunch at Kam’s Roast Goose, a famous restaurant here. I got the roast goose leg and roast pork […]
Tea @ Tiffin, Grand Hyatt
Last Saturday, I had afternoon tea with May and Carol at Tiffin in Grand Hyatt Hotel. May had wanted to try this place for a while now, she said, and had booked it two months ago. That’s how popular it is on weekends. There’s only one set for afternoon tea, so you can’t choose the […]
The Cheesecake Factory {Foodee}
Last Saturday, May, Tawny, and I met up for lunch at The Cheesecake Factory in Harbour City. We ordered three mains and were overwhelmed by how big the servings were. We were not able to finish them all and had to do takeaway. But of course you can’t dine at The Cheesecake Factory and not […]
Birthday Dinner @ Aqua TST
On the evening of my actual birthday, I booked a table for two at Aqua TST. My friend Jo accompanied me. She was the one who told me about the restaurant as well, and my, she picked well because it had a drop dead gorgeous overlooking view of Hong Kong harbour. The food was really […]
Club Feather Boa
I went to Europe last Friday night. That’s what it felt like, anyway. It started at an event that I signed up for on Internations. I very nearly didn’t go because for some reason I was feeling tired after work, but decided to power through. The event was at Zinc, a bar in Lan Kwai […]
Gyu-Kaku @ Harbour City {Foodee}
May and I were shopping at Harbour City when we realized that we were hungry. So we decided to drop by Gyu-Kaku, a Japanese Yakiniku restaurant. Luckily since it was already very late (9pm), they had a table for us. We ate an entire cow. Okay, not exactly, but we ordered the set for two […]
Artisan Lounge @ K11 Musea {Foodee}
I met up with May over the weekend and we had coffee and cake at the Artisan Lounge in K11 Musea mall. Luckily they had a bar spot for two people even though we had no reservations. That place is really popular because of its view of the mall’s gorgeous indoor architecture, so it’s almost […]
