One of the best places to shop and eat in Hong Kong is at Tsim Sha Tsui or TST. Most Filipino tourists are very familiar with Harbour City where all the brands are under one roof. But there is much more to TST than Harbour City. One of my favorite streets is Hankow Road whichContinue reading “Shopping and Eating in Hong Kong: Hankow and Ashley Roads”

Chef Philippe Breads
I love bread. All kinds of bread – soft, crusty, flaky, plain or filled, sweet or savory. I probably love bread more than rice. Gasp! As much as I love bread I limit myself to the occasional wheat bread only. Bread is carbs and I don’t have much control when confronted with good bread. OneContinue reading “Chef Philippe Breads”
The Best Macarons in Manila
This picture looks nice and colorful but the macarons were awful. They were hard and dry. I had them in a restaurant in a 5 star hotel in Hong Kong. Yesterday I featured Bar Dolci’s macarons. As I said before I’m not a big fan of macarons but I’ve eaten my share of them inContinue reading “The Best Macarons in Manila”
Levain Bakery
You are looking at a picture of the best cookie I’ve ever eaten. Last July 2010 I was in New York for 2 days only. It was way too short and we tried to cram in as many restaurants as we could. On our last day we had lunch at Jin Fong in Chinatown. AfterContinue reading “Levain Bakery”
Palaganas Bakery and Carlo’s Pizza
After reading Lori’s entry on a bakeshop that sold raisin bread better than Baguio Country Club’s famous raisin bread we went looking for it. We got a little lost following Lori’s instructions. So here’s how we got there. After exiting Camp John Hay’s Loakan gate turn left and after approximately 1.5 km you will seeContinue reading “Palaganas Bakery and Carlo’s Pizza”
Bingsoo at Le Matin De Paris
After dinner at Honey Pig, Sharon said we were going to have bingsoo for dessert? Bing what? I couldn’t wait to find out what she was talking about. When we got there I was surprised to see the name, Le Matin De Paris. It was a French bakery owned by Koreans. It looked like yourContinue reading “Bingsoo at Le Matin De Paris”
Donq Bakery
Carbs. I love carbs. I realized I can stop eating rice but my downfall in Hong Kong is bread. Specially from bakeries with open displays that give you a tray and tongs to help yourself to all their glorious creations. I have a lot of favorite bakeries in Hong Kong. There’s Panash where I buyContinue reading “Donq Bakery”
Crumbs Scones and Frozen Yogurt
Last October I was looking at openrice.com trying to find new places in Hong Kong to try when I saw Crumbs on the top ten list of most searched restaurants. Since I loved scones I went to buy some the next day. I went to their branch in Mongkok since that was the most convenientContinue reading “Crumbs Scones and Frozen Yogurt”
Magnolia Bakery
 After walking around Times Square a bit we went to Magnolia Bakery to try their famous cupcakes and oter goodies. I first heard about Magnolia Bakery from the famous skit on Saturday Night Live and scenes on Sex and the City. Since they made cupcakes famous a lot of bakeries have followed suit. I boughtContinue reading “Magnolia Bakery”
Best Buns Bread Company
After brunch at Carlyle we went to Best Buns Bread Company next door. I had to see the place where all the wonderful bread we ate at Carlyle and Coastal Flats came from. When we opened the door we were assaulted with the heavenly smell of freshly baked bread and all kinds of sweet breads.Continue reading “Best Buns Bread Company”
