Lunch at Cloudland Chinese Cuisine

I used to stay very near Minden Avenue several years ago. I never went there because there was nothing there except for a laundry shop and some bars. It wasn’t until I went to Butao Ramen that I discovered the whole street was lined with several restaurants. Minden Avenue is parallel to Mody Road. K11Continue reading “Lunch at Cloudland Chinese Cuisine”

Lobster Buffet at Corniche, Diamond Hotel Philippines

I’m not too keen on buffets because my tummy can’t catch up with everything my eyes devour. When Fran, who’s back in Manila for a short trip, texted me if I wanted to try a lobster buffet it didn’t take me a second to reply a resounding “YES!” You see, lobster is my favorite seafood.Continue reading “Lobster Buffet at Corniche, Diamond Hotel Philippines”

Hairy Crab Dinner at Wu Kong

It’s funny but I’ve eaten at Wu Kong, one of my favorite restaurants in Hong Kong, so many times but I’ve never tried their hairy crab set until Jin convinced me that I shouldn’t miss it. Shanghai hairy crab set HK$468 If you don’t want to order the whole set you can order it aContinue reading “Hairy Crab Dinner at Wu Kong”

Vero Chocolates’ Brownie Love

Something good happened in Hong Kong last December. Vero Chocolates opened a pop-up store in K11 mall which was a very short walk from where I stayed. I’ve never heard of Vero Chocolates before but by the end of my trip all the staff in the store knew me by sight. Vero is an artisanContinue reading “Vero Chocolates’ Brownie Love”

Lunch at ChefMaster Chiuchow Restaurant

We left Macao early and arrived in Hong Kong right in time for lunch. From the Hong Kong China Ferry Terminal we walked next door to the Gateway Arcade in Harbour City to find a place to eat. We chose the first restaurant we saw which was a good thing since we love Chiuchow foodContinue reading “Lunch at ChefMaster Chiuchow Restaurant”

The House of Dancing Water

There’s not much to do in Macao if you don’t gamble. Yes there’s good shopping and lots of fine restaurants but there’s only two major shows that run the whole year round. One is Zaia by Cirque Du Soleil at The Venetian and the other is The House of Dancing Water at the City ofContinue reading “The House of Dancing Water”

Dinner at Edo Japanese Restaurant

We were going to watch House of Dancing Water at the City of Dreams so we went there earlier to have dinner at Edo Japanese Restaurant. There’s a free shuttle from The Venetian to the City of Dreams. There’s a free shuttle to virtually every hotel in Macao. This was my first time to tryContinue reading “Dinner at Edo Japanese Restaurant”

Portuguese Egg Tart Showdown

I was done shopping in The Venetian’s more than 600 shops. I had more than enough siesta and I was bored silly so I did what any food blogger would do. I tested two Portuguese egg tarts for my very own showdown. First stop was the iconic Lord Stow’s Bakery located inside The Venetian. IContinue reading “Portuguese Egg Tart Showdown”

Restaurante Tai Lei Loi Kei at The Venetian Macao

When I did research on places to eat in Macao the pork chop bun of Tai Lei Loi Kei kept coming up. Even though I’m not a fan of this unique pairing I decided to give it a try when I saw their outlet in the food court of The Venetian Hotel where I wasContinue reading “Restaurante Tai Lei Loi Kei at The Venetian Macao”

My Kitchen by Chef Chris

My friend Ariel lives in San Francisco, a city with so many, many good pizzas. He’s the one who brought me to Pizzeria Delfina which I really enjoyed. I wanted him to try Chef Chris’ creation formerly known as panizza since I know think there’s nothing like that in the US yet. This was myContinue reading “My Kitchen by Chef Chris”
