Lunch at Chuk Yuen Seafood Restaurant

Chuk Yuen is, imho, the best place to eat dim sum in Hong Kong, well in Tsim Sha Tsui anyway. First they have an English menu for you to place a tick mark on what you want to order. Trust me this is not common practice. A lot of restaurants have only Chinese menus. DimContinue reading “Lunch at Chuk Yuen Seafood Restaurant”

Dinner at Je Suis Gourmand

Je Suis Gourmand is one of our favorite French restaurants in Manila. As you can see from the pictures below the place is very simple, homey and not pretentious. They’ve changed their menu over the years. I still miss their caesar salad and hamburger which is one of the best I’d ever had. I guessContinue reading “Dinner at Je Suis Gourmand”

In the 90s Manila was swept by the shawarma craze. Virtually every street corner had a shawarma stand. They all offered the same chips of grilled beef, chopped tomatoes, onions and cabbage and the ubiquitous garlic sauce on a heated flat bread. As with all the food fads in Manila, it’s usually the first orContinue reading “Shawarma”
