Stack - Lovely Pancake Spot

Price: $$
Cravingness: ★★★★☆

Pancakes! I believe seeking the best pancake in town is always my on-going mission. Pancakes are breakfast essential to me, it could be a great brunch choice, but to be completely honest, I think it is more a breakfast thing than brunch thing. There are several pancakes shops in Hong Kong, but many opens at noon, serving only the lunch, brunch and dinner section. Stack, the pancake tapas bar founded by the twins Caleb and Joshua Ng, who are also behind Common Ground cafe, bringing pancakes into another level, pairing them with all kinds of meats, vegetables and fruits. Another plus point for Stack is that they open at 11am over the weekend, to cater the morning pancake crave! And there we went all the way to Sai Ying Pun just for Stack's pancakes.

Piccolo Pizzeria & Pub

Price: $$
Cravingness: ★★★☆

I dine at the Piccolo Pizzeria & Bar at Tai Hang from time to time as it is close to home. The food option at the Tai Hang store is quite limited, I have always known the other branches of Piccolo offer other dishes such as pasta but I have never had chance to pay a visit, Recently I was invited by Sam for a dinner gathering at the Piccolo at kenndy town along with a few foodie friends. Finally I got to try their pasta!

Tapaella Grill - A Spanish Disappointment

Price: $$
Cravingness: ★★☆☆☆


There are cuisines that I would grow sick of, but definitely not Spanish! I went to Tapaella Grill in Kenny Town tonight. Tapaella Grill is a petite Spanish restaurant with simple furnishing and feels like a home run restaurant. I was expecting friendly and warm staff but staff here are quite cold. While I was also thinking a petite Spanish restaurant would not be too popular on Hau Wo Street, the night was actually full house, not to mention it was a rainy night.

Cafe Malacca - Authentic Malaysian and Singaporean Food

Price: $$
Cravingness: ★★★★☆


Cafe Malacca is a hotel restaurant at Traders Hotel by Shangri-la at West District offering authentic Malaysian Cuisine. Cafe Malacca was named after the Strates Malacca where traders from Middle East, India, China and Indonesia passed by and also brought in spices and cuisines to Malaysian as Early as in 18th Century. Influenced by a rich multicultural heritage of Chinese, Malaysian and Indian, the dishes offer at Cafe Malacca are diverse but keep very authentic.

Clay Oven - Yummy Tandoori Chicken

Price: $$
Cravingness: ★★★☆☆



I was invited to the Clay Oven at Kennedy Town for a try out of their authentic Indian cuisine. I was elated since I love Indian cuisine, also knowing they use clay oven, the real Indian BBQ and grill oven stone excited me.

The restaurant is small but homey with Indians posters all over the wall. The restaurant is quite dim in general but is liven up by the illuminating open bar. Server was attentive and was very keen on giving recommendation. The menu has a lot of choices with colourful pictures which makes dishes selection easy.

Sun Hing - Best Midnight Munchies

Price: $
Crave Level: ★★★★★



Argh, it is midnight and I am hungry, where can I find good food!? It is always way passed midnight when our stomach is yelling for food. The craving is amplified especially after a night out or partying. When it hits 3am, my favourite restaurant to go would be in no doubt Sun Hing Restaurant (新興食家).

Froyo Race Stop 8 ♥ Milky Cow

Milky Cow is located in such an inconvenient spot that I thought I would never be able to come. I once said 'who will go to midlevel just to try a froyo?', and went upset about won't be able to include milky cow in my froyo race. Well, fortune came and this day I went pass Milky Cow after visiting my friend's restaurant in midlevels!

Milky Cow was owned by a foreigner who lived somewhere nearby. As I went into the store, the owner greeted and chat with us casually, which made me feel like home. The side wall of the store was a mirror which made the store seemingly a lot more spaceous than most of the other froyo stores in Hong Kong, yet the number of seatings were similar. There were a lot of toppings to choose from, from fresh fruits, to chocolate, granola and cereals. From the picture you can see there were a lot of colourful ingredients, which would give the kids a hard choice for sure.
