Roundhouse - Texas Barbecues Taste Like This...?

Price: $$
Cravingness: ★★☆☆☆

Roundhouse is the first Taproom in Hong Kong that features 25 types of crafts beers on tap which some are exclusively offered to them. Apart from the craft beer, Roundhouse is also famous for their authentic Texas barbecue. As a big fan of Chef Austin Fry, I went to try the barbecue items here tonight.

Bibo - Dine In A World of Art

Price: $$$$$
Cravingness: ★★★★

Bibo the quirkiest French fine dining restaurant in Central Soho, is a truly arts-meet-food restaurant in Hong Kong. The restaurant is basically a contemporary art gallery with murals, paintings and sculptures at every corner of the restaurant. Dishes are also a piece of art with glamourous presentation. Service is topnotch and is definitely better than many of the starred Michelin restaurants in Hong Kong. Once you have been to Bibo, you will fall in love with this place.

Bouchon, the French Bistro on Elgin Street, has always been on my to try list. Finally I went last Saturaday to celebrate my friends' birthday.

La Vache - Mooooooooo!

Price: $$$
Cravingness: ★★★★☆

Stage back a year ago to my gastronomy trip in Paris, I missed dinning at Le Relais de l'Entrecôte, a famous steak frites in Paris as my stomach got real upset after all the delicious food that I had. When I first heard about La Vache, the steak frites in soho, I got really excited. We failed a few times making a phone reservation, so we decided to just walk in tonight. And to our surprise, they have a (bar) table for us!

A FUN Styling Experience at airplay blow dry bar

We all want our hair to be perfect every day, but it is hard to wake up early in the morning to style them. Airplay blow dry bar is the one and only blow dry bar in Hong Kong that offers only blow drying and hair styling services, just the way you want. No trimming, colouring or bleaching can be found here, but a cute atmosphere, professional stylist, several confectioneries, a few glasses of sparkling Rosé and the perfect hair style and makeup that you want.

Motorino - Delicious Neapolitan Pizza

Price: $$
Cravingness: ★★★★☆

I have always loved pizza. When I was young, I am a big fan of Pizza Hut and Dominos. Although I am still a big fan of Pizza Hut's cheese stuffed crust, I have gained expectation on Pizza as I grow older and so I am not too easily satisfied. Motorino, the pizzeria from Brooklyn that offers Neapolitan style pizza, is quite a nice option when it comes to pizza. The pizza quality at Motorino has caused a controversy here in Hong Kong. Let's see what I think!

Blue Butcher - Burger Crave!

It is a great steakhouse located on Hollywood Road, Soho where it sources and offers the best virgin Japanese Wagyu to satisfy the diners' taste bud. Starting from 7 April 2014, Blue Butcher launches a monthly lunch burger specials and I went to try it out by invitation. After all who could resist the drooling thick cut of Mayura Wagyu Sirloin Patty on that burger!

Nosh - New Favourite Brunch Place!

Price: $$
Cravingness: ★★★★☆

Nosh is a new brunch place I found located over the corner at Upper Station street. The brunch menu is not extensive but has enough choices to pick from. All ingredients tasted fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is great and the staffs are attentive. It was our first time brunching here but we already love it here.

Les Fils à Maman - Delightful Food But Unwelcoming Service

Price: $$
Cravingness: ★★★☆☆

Les Fils a Maman is my first restaurant to go for the Dining City Restaurant Week, I have to say it was a bad start. Les Fils a Maman is a French restaurant located in Central runs by French people. The food was simple yet delicious, the ambiance was cosy and lively but the service was unwelcoming.



The Sparkle Between The Glenlivet & TATE Dining Room and Bar

Price: $$$$$
Cravingness: ★★★★★


Are you a whisky lover? I am. Not a long whisky lover however, I just started liking and enjoying whisky this year, 2013. I was invited to attend a Glenlivet pairing tasting event at TATE Dining Room & Bar where Chef Vicky Lau designed a six-course degustation menu to pair with 5 different years of the Glenlivet at different depths! The Glenlivet X TATE dinner is priced at HKD1100 + 10% SC, available now until end of December 2013. How often can you savour the Glenlivet all in one go? Rare! so NOW it's your chance!

Yorkshire Pudding - The introduction of Premium English Beef

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆


I once hated roasted beef and Yorkshire pudding. When I was still studying in UK, my school canteen serves roasted beef and Yorkshire pudding every Sunday (as we called it Sunday Roast.) Now that I have moved back to Hong Kong for long, I missed the Sunday Roast. When I got the invitation to the luncheon launch of English Beef from EBLEX at Yorkshire Pudding, I was very excited.

Yardbird - My Bon Chon Chicken Substitute!

Price: $$$$
Cravingness: ★★★☆☆1/2

Dining at Yardbird can sometimes be frustrating, because it is hard to get a table. Weekday is probably a better time to try Yardbird as it is definitely less crowded. So does Yardbird really live up to the hype? Actually it depends what you are looking for - Food, Drink or Vibe. Food wise, there were several dishes that impressed me. Drink wise, they have an extended drinks list and I love their whisky collection. If you are coming in a party of two, Yardbird is not in romantic settings and might be too noisy for you. While if you come in a big group who also happens love to drink, you will have a great night here.

Fatty Crab - Finger Licking Good!

Price: $$$
Cravingness: ★★★★☆

Fatty Crab, originated from United Stated is the new restaurant and bar offering South East Asian cuisine on Old Bailey Street, Central. Bringing over many spectacular dishes like Chili Crab, Fatty Duck and Pickled Tomato and Pork Belly from NYC,  along with the amazing bar offering unique and interesting cocktails list, Fatty Crab is going to be the next big hit in Hong Kong.



Inspired by Malaysian, Thai, Indonesian and Vietnamese cuisine, be prepare to have your palette spiced by the Fatty Crab's dishes. Flavourful, robust, sweet and spicy are what you will find in here. Even cocktails that I had tonight infused with ingredients such as ginger syrup, lime juice, thai basil etc. Fatty Crab is indeed an exotic dinning experience.

iCaramba - Best Chipotle Substitute in Hong Kong

★★★★☆
$$

Being in US for a few months, I have grown to love Mexican food. Many might find the taste of black beans unacceptable, I found it irresistible.  

When people told me about Chipotle, I thought they were over the top about it. I thought, 'How could a chain restaurant be nice anyway?'. The answer is clear if you ever had Chiptole. There are for sure places in US that offer better Mexican food, but I just couldn't find one in Hong Kong yet.

Chicken Chimichanga
Coming back to HK, I went to iCaramba again to refresh my memory as I once thought it is really good. As usual we came here on a Monday Night, once a restaurant is listed on Super Monday list, you wouldn't want to come here on another day.

Mostaccioli Brothers - Italian Hidden Gem

★★★★★
$$$

We were originally going to Ricks for dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday, but Ricks cancelled our booking without calling us because we were 15 minutes late. Great, no one ever informed us about the reservation conditions. So we changed our plan and went to Mostaccioli Brothers instead.

Mostaccioli Brothers is a hidden gem along Elgin Street, the entrance was not easy to find. Walking down the dark walkway with flickering candle lights, you will reach a romantic outdoor terrace. Further down the pavement, you will see an indoor restaurant with a more cosy setting.
