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.

Mymy Caffè - Oh My! Decadent Hot Chocolate!

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

Ever since my first sip of rich velvety hot chocolate in Barcelona, I have always been a big fan of hot chocolate. Not just any chocolate, but thick velvety chocolate. Back in Hong Kong, most of the time I go to Vero's Chocolate for their decadent hot chocolate. Recently I am introduced to Italian hot chocolate by Henry and I have to say I first found the texture funny. For those of you who have not tried Italian hot chocolate before, I am going to introduce Mymy Caffè to you.

Teakha - Nice place to Chill

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆1/2

If you are looking for a cafe to spend a lazy afternoon, Teakha would be your choice. Located at Sheung Wan, this al fresco tea house offers a good range of teas and delicate cakes and pastries. There are a few tables available outdoor, but be warned that this place is very popular and tends to get very crowded during the weekend. Try to arrive before 2pm before the crowd shows up.

The Pasta Place - Super Cute Homestyle Cafe

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆1/2

I am a big pasta lover! There are so many different kinds of pasta with different sauces and different ways of making them. I do not connect to many restaurants in Hong Kong as they do not make al denta pasta. I recently went to the Pasta Place under invitation and fell in love with this cute cafe.

Trattoria Doppio Zero - Great Pasta Always

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

If you ask me where can you find good pasta, Trattoria Doppio Zero is definitely on the list. Trattoria in Italian means an dining environment less formal than restaurant, more causal service, no printed menus, wine is usually sold by decanter rather bottle etc. I would not consider Trattoria Doppio Zero trattoria but an Italian restaurant with a modern setup with romantic and sociable ambience.

Trattoria Doppio Zero makes their own pasta with doppio zero flour, the finest Italian flour. What I appreciate most is that they always make their pasta al dente. I brought Henry over tonight so he could try the lovely pasta out (secretly because I want pasta myself! :) )

My sudden crave of Malaysian food brought me to Sheung Wan to revisit my old love, Malaymama. I could not tell Malaysian cuisine's authenticity, all I know is Malaymama is good!

Lang Fong Yuen - Condensed Milk Bun

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★★★★

The Lang Fong Yuen branch in Shun Tak Center is a convenient spot for travelers between Hong Kong and Macau (actually most likely people from China), I usually went for breakfast or snack if I happen to be going to Macau.

Condensed Milk Bun

I got the condensed milk bun today as I intended to lunch over at Macau but I was starving at that point. The bun was not too expensive, priced at HKD$13 (if I remember correctly). I had the bun to go, so it was delivered fresh and hot.

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.

CoCo Espresso - Coffee made with Heart

Price: $

Crave Level: ★★★★★

Everytime my customer (also a good friend) come over to Hong Kong, we will go for some coffee. He, being a coffee sales + barista in Latvia, loves Hong Kong coffee culture. He says the coffee culture in Latvia is very commercialised, people drinks only Starbucks and even some barista does not care about coffee. Anyway, this time we went to CoCo Espresso.

Oolaa - Italian with fancy ambiance

★★★☆☆

$$$ (with alcohol)

Oolaa is an italian restaurant with both romantic and lively ambiance. The restaurant was huge, sectioned in three area: an intimate dining room on the right, a casual dinning room/bar area on the left and an open pizza kitchen with several bar tables and sofa in the middle. If you are coming with someone special, do make a reservation ahead to secure your table at the more romantic section on the right.

The Press Room - Fancy Ambiance

★★★★☆

$$$

After reading Jason's review on The Press Room, it had been on my to try list for quite sometime but its only today that I went. The drive was originally for the frites, but I forgot to order it until I became full lol. Even so, I pretty much enjoyed my visit there and perhaps next time I could try it.

The Press Room is under the Press Room Group who also owns restaurants like The Pawn and The Classified. The Press Room is the first restaurant that the group founded, the idea behind the restaurant and the group name was from the fact that the location was once the offices of the Overseas Chinese Daily Newspaper back in the 1920s. I generally enjoy dinning in the restaurants of the Press Room Group, the nice and chilling ambiance is probably the main reason I love spending time there. It is always nice spending time in their restaurants with intimate friends and my loved one. (Remark: Please omit SML from the list though)
