Haven't had such an extravagant hotpot out in a restaurant for a really long time, just cuz I always stay home for it hahahha but I do admit that going out every now and then is nice. The ambiance was much better than I expected from the lift entrance and it was an expansive space. We ordered soooo much food this was enough meat for 3 meals honestly. The soup was really milky and i though the flowers were a nice touch. I didn't notice the meat rose on top of my platter until we were too full to eat anymore haha so that was actually enough beef for another meal!…Read More

What a good find! I've never ventured into the little alleyways of quarry bay so I was nicely surprised with dinner at @the_red_cuisine. We got the deep fried mantous which had a nice crisp to them, the scrambled egg with marinated lamb, and one of their signature Claypot fish with pickled vegetables. They also have a buy one get one free deal so it was a great reprieve from a hectic work day.…Read More

Looking for a good yakiniku fix got me all the way in Tsim Sha Tsui at H Zentre trying to find the entrance to @saburo_japanese_yakiniku. Pretty spacious seating and decor from the get go.We started with a salad with slices of cold wagyu, then came our sashimi platter and the meats. Wagyu is a must, but we also tried grilling chicken hearts ourselves for the first time and it was surprisingly really good, like really good. Maybe I'm just great on the grill kakakkaka but no it's really tender and fresh. We even got a wagyu rice, which , for sure, may have been too much wagyu even for me, but in a good way. We ended with a sorbet and took the ferry home to try and digest hehe.…Read More

I don't get to walk around the maze of Harbour City much so I was surprised at all the new places popping up here and there. The entrance of @voynich.hk stands out though because of its colonial design and speakeasy-like entrance. What a huge space between, there's the ala carte concept and another hot pot concept too. Ww got a couple of there signatures including the wagyu beef wrap, the seafood soup, sweet and sour pork, drunken chicken, fried rice and a lovely sugary dessert. We also got cocktails, mine was a skull thats smoked in a little glass chamber so you can see the cool dregs of smoke wafting down to the drink. Interesting.…Read More

What better way to counter the heat than with even more heat? Heat as in hot curry and heat as in spicy sausage. Man did it burn! We got the jumbo crab curry with garlic bread ($328) and the appetizers platter ($128) at @narathai.hk at Harbour City to turn and escape from the crowds and that immense heat. We managed to get ourselves a seat by the window to help with the ilkusion of calmness but damn, tsim sha tsui is packed everywhere you go!…Read More

I've been ordering 8potshk for takeaway every morning after a night out since I moved to Sheung Wan, so it's nice to try it out at their store in Causeway Bay! I got 2 pots, 2 drinks, and even added a side of angus beef, all at just over $300. I love thier pots cuz it feels like there's endless toppings and ingredients inside. You can just keep digging and digging for new flavours. Im always a loyal fan of the garlic beef soup, so this time i also tried the cheese milk which was interesting. Vermicelli is the best with these oots cuz it soaks up all the flavour. Also, what better way to fight the 30 degree heat with more hotpot heat?…Read More

Got me lovely padron peppers, coldcuts on a toastada, a spanish must have croquettes, and whole prawns in garlic oil with toasted po ieces of bread on the side. Potato bravas go well with everything so im so glad they came. We also got a cherky jug of red sangria to wash everything down. The jug design was so pretty! Their tasting menu ($388) has 9 items thats bound to leave you satisfied.Those beef cheeks were sooooooo tender I loved it with the sauce too. Our tasting menu came with a squid ink paella as well with crispy calamari on top, a thickkk cut of sea bass with roasted vegetables, tomato salad using a variety of tomatoes which I thought was pretty cool, and of course two desserts. My favourite is the cheesecake with the puff pastry wrap, but the chocolate mousse was nice toooo.…Read More

I just wanted to pig out for the evening so I went to @taiwandrunkpot for their hotpot buffets. I love the endless ordering and beef and ice cream. We tried lamb slices too but beef was definitely better, so we got five orders of that. Fish skin was great too,and its hidden wi th ij the snakcs section when u look at theur online menu. Also i get so greedy at the drinks selection area even though I only ever managed two drinks MAXXX theres tons of fishballs, ballz, veg, but i filled myself up with beef and beancurd rolls before all that…Read More

I'm an hk island kinda gal but ever so often I find myself in Mong Kok. Now I've also found a new bar n outdoor spot with snacks to pair!At @j.moon.lounge, this creamy mentiako pasta with pan fried scallops was my favourite. But we thought we might not be full enough so we got the signature Jmoon pizza with hidden pieces of deathly PINEAPPLE which thankfully I picked out cuz I'm allergic. We also got single chicken wings to munch on, and of course 2 cocktails. Their cocktails go by horiscope names and I kinda forgot which one I had but it's yuzu and pear that comes in a black liquid, with gold flakes! I wasn't expecting such a dark color but I WA s impressed.…Read More

Sushi Jun is my fams go to, and i think a place where the chef knows you and banters is so much more fun. We started off with several cuts of white fish, then a shellfish medley that i would've avoided if it werent for the aromatic abalone slices that got me asking for a portion as well. Chef prepared the abalone slices fresh from the shell, tossed it ina stone pot and flambe - ed it with truffle and butter, DAMN. Another highlight was this hugeass deepfried scallop parted midway and stuffed with uni before served with a nori wrap. So good. It came with a shirako tempura, bomb on bomb! Oh and of course, the crab from the cover photo, slightly torched crab roe and meat. DelishhhhhhThe other half of the satusfying omakase we had, this fatty piece of sesred otoro mannnnn making me crave it as i type! There's also the fish collar with roe, a simple but awesome uni roll, sweet shrimp two ways, sanma, all highlights. The last hand roll is my fav, with tempura bits to add an extra crunch to it. They also borught out a diy snowman for my birthday ahahhahaha too cute…Read More

Been a while since I've been to @honjohk again even though it's so close to my new place! We went on a Monday evening and there were quite a lot of table reservations.We had a mixture of their new dishes and the tasting menu. Started with a beef tataki with sprinkles of toasted rice, a tofu salad, some sushi, a very ncie and crunchy corn tempura that came with 4 different kinds of salt and a soft shell crab with green tabasco mayo. For meats we had grilled pork belly skewers and a biggggggg ass stone pot with beef rice inside. We mixed up the soft boil egg with bits of the crunchy rice on the bottom and it was a smooth finish to the savoury dishes. We had 2 desserts to finish, including ice cream with all kinds of fruits, including the deadly PINEAPPLE. Last but not least was the matcha lava with roasted white chocolate and even more ice cream hehehehhehe love me a good lava.…Read More

I don't usually go to all you can eat places but this was such a good deal!We got this masssssiveee boat loaded with all sorts of beef, pork, chicken, seafood and vegetables. Then just when we thought that WA sit, another bowl of meat came, and this was all before we used the ordering function! They had over 25 kinds of beef to choose from, including a really juicy thick cut beef tongue. I took full advantage of ordering through QR code and got an order from almost every cut of meat. They also had a fully stocked drinks bar and really nice ice cream Popsicles, fancy fancy hahahhaa. Super spacious booths and Greta Ambiance, all for under $500 for 120 minutes!…Read More

There's just something about making last minute plans for dinner after work with someone that makes you feel.... So.... Very.... Adult-like hahahUsed to be at the beer pong bars on YIU Wa Street on the time but can't say I've been to the ground level restaurants there. Spotted kukiizakaya and walked in some an easy dinner. Had a couple of skewers including the chicken meatball with a very stab-able egg yolk, thick cut beef tongue, and chicken wings, cod fish, deep fried cheese mochi, some homey egg rolls and an udon. Should've had a drink of two since it's an izakaya, but we wanted to line up for shaved ice instead hahahaha…Read More

My love for pigeon brought me all the way to Yuen Long, and a friend who grew up in the area told me that the shop on 又新街 is the better one of the two branches so there we went.Not to sound spoilt but I expected the Pigeon served in Chinese places to always be baby ones cuz they tender and Chinese name is 乳鴿, but the one we got wasn't 乳 at all hahaha it was HUMONGOUS that said, skin was crispy and meat was juicy so no complaints from meee. We also got turnip cake, a massive plate of fried squid, and of course their famous chicken congee…Read More

Wanted something easy for dinner and walked into @ramenkureha in Tai Hang, always live myself a boutique-y place that's small and cosy. I know this is a Ramen place but I thought I took a pretty good photo of the minced chicken skewer ($34) so that's the cover! We also got some homemade gyoza ($40) which were surprisingly super nice, no jokes. Ramen-wise we got the seafood prawn one ($104) and the black garlic with pork ($92). I always ask for my noodles to be more stiff because I take forever to finish the bowl and I didn't want the rest to get soggy hehe.…Read More
