After lunch at Taimall Benjie brought us to Carrefour for more shopping. Carrefour is a French based hypermarket chain. Think Walmart, Shopwise and Sm Hypermart. The first thing that caught my eyes were these candied sweet potatoes. They looked incredibly sweet but when I tried it I loved it. It was naturally sweet and theContinue reading “Taipei Day 1 – Shopping at Carrefour”

Taipei Day 1 – Shabu Shabu at Taimall, Taoyuan
It’s been decades since any one of us have been to Taiwan. I used to go there a lot when I was young due to my dad’s business. All I remembered were the crazy drivers and thousands of motorcycles on the road.Why did we decide to go to Taiwan? Was it to see the sightsContinue reading “Taipei Day 1 – Shabu Shabu at Taimall, Taoyuan”
Dinner at Delicious Kitchen Part 2
I was so enamored with the wonton in double boiled chicken soup the last time we ate in Delicious Kitchen I knew I had to eat it one more time before leaving Hong Kong. On our last night in Hong Kong we went back to Delicious Kitchen to have my wonton fix and try outContinue reading “Dinner at Delicious Kitchen Part 2”
Lunch at House of Jasmine
House of Jasmine was recommended to me by my buddy, Arlene. She told me about it last December but it was only last April that I remembered to try it. I’ve seen this restaurant a lot of times since it’s on the same level as my favorite store, Muji in Harbour City. I always thoughtContinue reading “Lunch at House of Jasmine”
Dinner at Sweet Dynasty
This was my first time to go to the new location of Sweet Dynasty. It used to occupy a smaller space down the road. The decor was very basic except for the rosewood furniture. Now the restaurant is a two-storey modern and gold wonder. We went there on a Sunday night and the huge secondContinue reading “Dinner at Sweet Dynasty”
Cafe de Coral April 2010

Dinner at Delicious Kitchen Part 1
Thank goodness for people handing out fliers or else we would never have known there was a newly opened branch of Delicious Kitchen in Tsim Sha Tsui. The only branch they ever had was in Causeway Bay in Hong Kong. I’ve only eaten there once a few years ago so I don’t remember it veryContinue reading “Dinner at Delicious Kitchen Part 1”

L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon with the J brothers
Last March I found out my 3 young cousins were going to be in Hong Kong at the same time as I was. I told Elizabeth about it and she said we had to bring them to Robuchon, the #1 restaurant in Asia (2009/2010) according to The Miele Guide. It would be a once inContinue reading “L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon with the J brothers”
Honeymoon Dessert
After dinner at Te we went next door to have dessert at Honeymoon Dessert. I never had such a hard time choosing dessert. In a western restaurant my choice would almost always contain the word chocolate. In Honeymoon Dessert you won’t find the word chocolate anywhere. What you will see are the words sweet balls,Continue reading “Honeymoon Dessert”
