itaMoMo located at Shop 102, 1/F, Yu Chui Shopping Centre, 2 Ngau Pei Sha Street, Sha Tin in Hong Kong
itaMoMo (意八餐廳) is a restaurant franchise offering fusion Italian cuisine that spans several locations in Hong Kong. We ate here for dinner before our flight to Korea and arrived just in time to take advantage of their afternoon tea time special (ending 5:45 p.m.). (Their entire tea time menu was in Chinese BUT their regular menu was in English and Chinese.) Continue reading
Nak Won Paradise Korean Restaurant located at in Markham
A day after returning home from my month-long Asia trip, I had lunch with my mom and the first thing that popped into my head that I wanted to eat was Korean food. I wanted some of that spicy yet tangy kimchi and some hot stone pot rice!
Thus, we headed to the Markham location of Nak Won at First Markham place (a foodie heaven since there are so many restaurants all in one place). I had never been to this location of Nak Won before Continue reading
Daniel’s Restaurant located at Shop 8, Tin Po Building, 100 Tai Wai Road, Sha Tin in Hong Kong
It’s funny because the English translation of this Chinese café’s name is “steamed egg man” (金裝燉奶佬餐廳) which implies that this restaurant sells steamed egg puddings as their specialty. However, it turns out that Daniel’s Restaurant is just a regular Hong Kong style café. They don’t even sell any steamed egg at all! Continue reading
Markham, Ontario. September 2016
A simple photo for this week’s photo challenge of “local”. This photo was taken a month ago in Markham as the setting sun revealed some pretty watercolour-like tones on the late summer sky. It’s interesting how different seasons will give you different sunset colours. I drive on this road often; it’s 16th Avenue for those of you living in Markham. 🙂 Continue reading
To be honest, I’m not sure how long this will last because it just sounds too good to be true. I’m counting my blessings today and thanking Buddha for where this journey is going to take me because I got an offer today to become a paid food blogger. Continue reading
A little more than 3 years ago, I arrived home with a similar desire to blog about my thoughts after being away for a month. That was also when the idea of this blog was born into life and thus, we can see ourselves here now.
I returned home back to Toronto this past Tuesday after travelling for a month in Asia — to Hong Kong, South Korea, and Japan. Continue reading
Hokuten no Oka Lake Abashiri Tsuruga Resort, Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan. October 2016
[Post-dated post]. Hard to believe that a little pool of water can give you so much relaxation, health benefits, and MOOD! One of the highlights of my trip to Hokkaido this past first week of October has been the onsen from the hot springs in Japan. It’s simply a pool of H2O, but when you soak into that hot, steaming bath water, the feeling is simply indescribable. Continue reading
Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. September 2016
[Post-dated post]. Literally just came back from Hong Kong a day and a half ago but I’m already missing it. This photo is of the Hong Kong skyscrapers and buildings from the 18th floor of the BP International Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. Although I go to Hong Kong relatively often — about once a year — looking back at this photo, I really want to be back there again. Continue reading
Pokemon Go screenshot, Hong Kong. September 2016
Quest: What an easy and most appropriate photo theme for me this week! 😂 I’m currently on vacation in Asia and since collecting virtual reality creatures, called Pokemon, are region-specific, it is only here in Asia that I can capture something called a Farfetch’d. Continue reading
