Afternoon Tea at Carpaccio

Since I stay so close to iSquare in Hong Kong I’ve tried most of the restaurants in the mall some more than three times. I often pass by Carpaccio but have never tried it since I had no desire to eat pasta or pizza in a country with terrific Chinese and Asian cuisine. When IContinue reading “Afternoon Tea at Carpaccio”

My friend Debbie and her nephew Chef Jeremy have a new catering business called Deli San Honore. We ordered a Thai dinner from them for our group’s Christmas party.

De Original Jamaican Pattie Shop

I think I did more eating than shopping when I was in SM Megamall last December doing Christmas shopping for my godchildren.

This was the first shop I’ve been to with a seating area sinceContinue reading “De Original Jamaican Pattie Shop”

Akiba Cafe

I like December and all the food that comes with the holidays. The only thing I dislike is shopping for my godchildren. It was easy when they were kids and any toy would make them happy. Now that some are in their pre-teens and others are teenagers I didn’t know what to get them forContinue reading “Akiba Cafe”

Brownies – Ms. Polly’s & Xocolat

I knew Ms. Polly’s was famous for their chocolate cake but I didn’t know they had equally good brownies until my friend Mila sent me a box for Christmas. Thanks again for the yummy gift Mila!!!

We wanted to have mango sticky rice for dessert at Mango Tree but they ran out of mangoes so we walked to nearby Serendra to buy from two of the French pastry shops that I’ve been wanting try. First stop was Chef Sunshine Pengson’s ode to French eclairs. The small patisserie was beautifully decorated andContinue reading “Gourmandise Patisserie”

Lunch at Mango Tree

The best times to eat out with good friends are those that are unplanned. It took only one text message a couple of hours before lunch to get the four of us together at Mango Tree in Bonifacio High Street. It was my first time to try this Thai restaurant located at a prominent locationContinue reading “Lunch at Mango Tree”
