Located at the Hong Kong International Airport
This was our third time dining at Cafe Aficionado, the all-you-can-eat buffet at the other side of Hong Kong International Airport. My relatives really enjoy this buffet as the food variety is huge, there is fresh and assorted sashimi, crab legs, small lobsters, and more. Continue reading

My family and I had dinner and morning dim sum at Chiuchow Garden Restaurant on two separate occasions. It’s a nice restaurant that has huge chandeliers that hang from their ceilings. It was the very first thing that I noticed. Continue reading
Located in Hong Kong
For an afternoon brunch, we went to Federal Palace for dim sum and noodles. This is a restaurant in Yau Ma Tei that spans the 3rd to 5th floor.
The food here was mediocre to good, but it’s hard to say really because it’s not like we tried out everything in the entire store. Continue reading
Located in Sha Tin in Hong Kong
Talk about a ‘real’ HK style cafe! We went to one today! In Hong Kong! You can’t beat even the best ones outside of Asia with an actual one in HK! Hehe 🙂
Tai Hing is a modern ‘cha chan teng’ that is clean and designed modernly residing in the inside of the Sha Tin Plaza with brightly lit lights as its sign out front.
We ordered three tea sets for afternoon tea (so good!). I wasn’t feeling particularly hungry — due to jet lag probably — so I ordered the Borsch macaroni with Japanese meat roll. The Borsch soup was good with hearty and homey macaroni. Continue reading
Located at Tai Po in Hong Kong
Guess where we went for dinner on our first night in HK? We went to Victoria Harbour Restaurant to have hairy crabs! (I know, it sounds nasty but that’s what these crabs are called!). I have fond memories of this restaurant in Tai Po because the last time we were here more than a year ago, we had those succulent and tasty long Alaskan crab legs!! They were so delicious — see here for the post. Continue reading

I’ve been meaning to try this Mexican tacos joint and finally had the chance to recently. Helen and I didn’t expect the small restaurant in Kensington Market to be so popular!
We arrived here on a dark and chilly October Saturday night. The inside of El Trompo is small and the tables are pushed together. Continue reading

Priscilla and I went to Mi-Ne Sushi for a Japanese dinner on a weeknight. I’ve heard lots of good things about Mi-Ne. I have been to one previously but apparently it’s a completely different one (it’s called Mi-NE)..
Anyway, this Mi-Ne has three locations. We went to the one in Markham (located on Woodbine and Apple Creek). Continue reading
Toledo, Spain. October 2014
This week’s photo challenge was indeed a challenge. I realized I’ve never purposely taken a ‘minimalist’ photo before. It takes some skill and the right setting and object if you aim to have it monotone, contain negative space, with good contrast. Continue reading
Located at 650 Highway 7 East in Richmond Hill
After a chilly and spooky night out at Canada Wonderland’s Halloween Haunt, we headed to 100 Degrees Hot Pot Restaurant for the perfect time to warm up and refuel over hot pot. Hot pot is a do-it-yourself cuisine where you have a pot full of pre-prepared broth or soup boiling in order to cook food in front of you. Continue reading
