Last Saturday we made a spontaneous decision to visit the Cafe Causette at the Mandarin Oriental - for no specific reason other than Patrick and I had time to spare and we were close by. Patrick had never been before and while I had visited it twice already, I've never tried the afternoon tea. So… Continue reading Review: Afternoon tea at the Cafe Causette at the Mandarin Oriental
HK Numb is one of the blogs that I've always kept my eyes on - lots of interesting restaurants that Irene reviewed, but then she stopped posting to concentrate on her studies and her life. I was hoping for her to return to the blogging world, and so she did - she's back now and… Continue reading Interview with HK Numb
It's Monday morning... and time for another blog interview. Today, let's meet with Julienne aka Yeni R from HKFiles, who writes about life in Hong Kong. Her blog is home to a mix of food reviews, hikes and attractions - so it's quite similar to my blog, but what I do love about her blog… Continue reading Interview with HKFiles
This is one of the cheapest dumpling places in Hong Kong - and it is part of a chain. I don't know the English name, but I can recognise the shop name and look. There is one on the way home on Wan Chai Road, which is a quick stop for me - I usually… Continue reading Review: Quick dumpling fix
Let me interrupt my series of Seoul/South Korea posts to introduce you to one of my long-time favourite blogs, which is WaterfallsandCaribous - a weird name for a great blog about travelling and living in Hong Kong. It's run by Dan and H-J, two Kiwis, who have recently been joined by their little girl Olive.… Continue reading Interview with WaterfallsandCaribous

What I love about her blog is the combination… Continue reading Interview with Salt & Chili
What I love about visiting Vietnam is that I can eat so much great food - and don't put on any weight. All the salads, rice rolls and fresh herbs are so light and tasty, most of the dishes I eat tend to be steamed or boiled and there is only little fat and oil.… Continue reading Hanoi: Street Food
This Monday, it's time for proper, home-cooked food. I'm not talking about my own cooking, but about Bobbi's cooking in her own, Bam's kitchen. She creates yummy dishes that cater to many tastes and requirements - not just to her teenage boys but also people that might be gluten or lactose intolerant, or just want… Continue reading Interview with Bam’s kitchen
It's Monday again, so it's time again for another update in my popular 'Interview with...' series. This time it's with Francisco, the burger blogger. Now you might say, you've never come across a burger blogger. That might be true, as I've never met anyone else before who is so dedicated to eating, testing and reviewing… Continue reading Interview with Franny’s Burgers
Today I'm speaking with the organisers behind the Hong Kong Foodie Tours in Hong Kong. Cecilia and Silvana are the great masterminds behind this concept, where they take food lovers on a tour of backstreets in Hong Kong, so they can taste different culinary highlights and learn about the history of the district as well… Continue reading Interview with the Hong Kong Foodie Tours
