C2 Classic Cuisine

I said I would return to C2 and I did! The last time I ate at C2 there were only 2 of us and we didn’t get to try much. This time I brought 2 balikbayans and a bunch of natives. My friend Ariel and cousin Sharon were the guests of honor for this scrumptiousContinue reading “C2 Classic Cuisine”

Chinese New Year dinner at Gloria Maris restaurant

The Chinese population in the Philippines is very small so Chinese New Year is not a public holiday. We usually celebrate it simply by having dinner with family in a Chinese restaurant.

Pak Loh Chiu Chow restaurant

I love Chiu Chow food but it’s very hard to find a good restaurant in Hong Kong that serves Chiu Chow cuisine. Majority serve Cantonese cuisine which is fantastic but sometimes I want a change. Pak Loh Chiu Chow restaurant has been open since 1967. All these years and I didn’t know about it. TheContinue reading “Pak Loh Chiu Chow restaurant”

Yu Joy Hot Pot at K11 Mall

K-11 is another new mall that opened last Novemeber 2009 in the Tsim Sha Tsui area. This was my favorite shopping spot when I was a kid.

The China Club, Hong Kong

We were invited for lunch at the China Club, a members only Shanghai-style club and restaurant located at the top 3 floors of the old Bank of China building in Central, Hong Kong.

Cafe Key West at iSQUARE

We tried another restaurant at the newest mall in Tsim Sha Tsui called iSQUARE. Cafe Key West is very similar to Pokka Cafe and UCC Cafe. These are all restaurants of popular coffee brands from Japan. They sell their own brand of coffee called Key Coffee. Their menu was typical of a Japanese coffee shop.Continue reading “Cafe Key West at iSQUARE”

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.
