I need to share our experience so others will be informed on what to expect at La Régalade. It was Rochelle’s birthday and her belovedContinue reading “Dinner at La Regalade”

Jenny’s birthday at Restaurant CiÇou
We celebrated our dear friend Jenny’s birthday at Restaurant Cicou. Before going I checked out some blogs that have featured this restaurant. I read mostly negative reviews so I was kind of hesitant to try it. I even wanted to suggest Aubergine instead. But I’m always eager to try a new restaurant so I wentContinue reading “Jenny’s birthday at Restaurant CiÇou”
Dinner at Spoon
I was excited to have dinner at Spoon since I’ve only eaten at their Sunday lunch buffet. I loved everything at the buffet so I had high expectations for dinner and since it was December 23, 2009 I assumed they would have even better food. We were off to a good start. The amuse boucheContinue reading “Dinner at Spoon”
Caprice at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong
For the life of me I will never understand how Caprice restaurant at the Four Seasons hotel in Hong Kong got the number 16 spot in the Miele guide to Asia’s top 20 restaurants.

Birthday Dinner at Je Suis Gourmand
I was recently invited to celebrate the birthday of a good friend at Je Suis Gourmand in the Fort. We started with our favorite salad which wasn’t on the menu.

Lunch at Caprice, Four Seasons Hotel
Caprice isn’t one of my “must eat” restaurants in Hong Kong. My previous meal there was very unsatisfactory.

Mother’s Day at Aubergine
We liked our last meal at Aubergine so much that we went back last Sunday for Mother’s Day lunch. I’m glad they had a different set lunch menu. This one was cheaper and had more choices so everyone ordered this lunch menu except for the kids. boursin cheese and butter spreads duck breast mousse saladContinue reading “Mother’s Day at Aubergine”
Lunch at Aubergine
When I heard we were eating lunch at Aubergine at the Fort I did some online research on the restaurants’ reviews. There were as many rave reviews as there were negative rants. So I was a bit wary on what to expect. The place was bigger than I expected. private function room the huge impressiveContinue reading “Lunch at Aubergine”
