Chao Yang Chinese Cuisine 朝陽飯莊 (Hong Kong)

Located at 27/F, Shop 1, iSquare, Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong

Ah, Chao Yang Chinese Cuisine.  The last time we were in Hong Kong, we went to this restaurant to eat as well.  It’s located in iSquare in Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong on the 27th floor which means that it overlooks some amazing views in Hong Kong.  We didn’t sit near the windows this time so I didn’t get a shot of the view but you feel pretty good to have nice (Northern) Chinese food at this place!   Continue reading

海皇粥店 Ocean Empire (Hong Kong)

Viet’s Choice (Hong Kong)

Located at Shop 111, 1/F, Citylink Plaza, 1 Sha Tin Station Circuit, Sha Tin in Hong Kong

Sometimes, the design and architecture of a restaurant really draws you in.  For example, this restaurant called Viet’s Choice located at the Sha Tin plaza was made to look like a Vietnamese neighbourhood complete with street signs, courtyard, and paintings.  It was really cool!  For that reason, we ended up having a late lunch here.   Continue reading

Located at Shop 101-102, 2/F, Uptown Plaza, 9 Nam Wan Road, Tai Po in Hong Kong

Back in Toronto! pt 2

Autumn trip 2014

Stop!  Reflection time!  The reason I started this very blog was only a little more than a year ago in March of 2013.  See the post here.  I remember flying back from my Asia trip and into Toronto and starting my blog the day afterwards.  I wanted a place to document my thoughts, pictures, and adventures but didn’t want to just shove a bunch of pictures onto the servers of Facebook anymore.   Continue reading

Parkview Restaurant (Hong Kong)

Located at Shop 117, 1/F, New Town Plaza Phase 1, 18 Sha Tin Centre Street in Sha Tin, Hong Kong

For lunch, we had quasi-Italian food at a classy-looking restaurant called Parkview Restaurant in the Sha Tin New Town Plaza.  I call it quasi because you know it’s not truly authentic but it is definitely in the realm of Italian food.   Continue reading

Hui Lau Shan Healthy Dessert

Located all over Hong Kong

Toronto should have more of these!  Why aren’t these more in the food industry?  Is it because of big-name chains like Tim Hortons and Menchies that crowd out all the small-size snack shops?  Or maybe because Torontonians care more for sugary sweets than fresh fruits (lack of access to these).   Continue reading

Ajisen Ramen (Hong Kong)

Located inside the Hong Kong International Airport

Everyone knows about Ajisen Ramen.  It’s one of the first ramen places that popped up in Toronto before the ramen craze began.  Before that, it’s always been a global franchise that has shown off its ramen and tendon pork ribs broth in many countries around the world.   Continue reading

御花園 (Hong Kong)

Located in Sui Wo Court in Sha TIn, Hong Kong

Simple meals are best!  Despite loving unique dishes and out-of-the-ordinary cuisines or delicacies, I crave the simplest meals often.  An example is congee!  After many heavy meals with high GI foods, a meal with lots of veggies and simple carbs is best.   Continue reading
