23? Really?

As I’m sure most of you know already, Dr. Pepper has been boasting that its beverage of carbonated deliciousness is comprised of 23 flavors.  Now, I’ve taken quite a few classes in beverage tasting and analysis but it is beyond my palate as to what most of these flavors are.  The few flavors that I [...]

Beirut

Located at 27 D’Aguilar St. in Lan Kwai Fong is a little Lebanese restaurant/bar/hookah lounge called Beirut.  Like most places in LKF, Beirut serves decent food, probably has a great lunch deal, and is packed on a Friday or Saturday night with the bar crowd.   The unfortunate thing about MOST restaurants in the Lan Kwai [...]

Local Food

I’ve been in Hong Kong for almost a year now and people are finally taking me to the “real” local food joints.  Unfortunately I cant tell you the names of the places I’ve been to as they are all in Chinese characters that I am unable to read.  On the bright side though I do [...]

Mexican Food in HK

I know what you’re thinking…there are maybe two or three restaurants and they are all terrible…well my friends, the times have changed.  I will start off by saying that although I haven’t had Mexican food in about 3 months, I wasn’t having such large with-drawls for my opinions to be altered just because of a [...]

Cafe O

Sadly this will have to be a short review as I had already had lunch before making my way to Cafe O.  I pass this place on the corner of Caine Road and the escalators every day and finally, 8 months later, find my way in.  I wasn’t even planning on staying or buying anything [...]

Afternoon Snack

I had a nice little snack the other day.  It was simple with crackers, cheese, and wine but the combination of flavors I feel is enough to write home about.  Or blog about in this case .
The cheese was a soft French cheese manufactured by Fromagerie Germain.  I think the cheese is called Farm [...]

Burgers in Lan Kwai Fong: Hong Kong Brew House

The long awaited second posting to the Burgers in Lan Kwai Fong series!!
I was on my own for lunch today and decided a burger and a beer would hit the spot.  Hong Kong Brew House is an intersting place.  During the weekends, every seat is filled at night.  During the daytime, I never see anyone [...]

Singapore Sling

While I was in Singapore I made my way down to Raffles Hotel and bellied up to the bar for their most famous beverage, the Singapore Sling.  Although the exact date of its creation is an ongoing argument, the fact that it was first served at Long Bar in Raffles Hotel is a common fact.
As [...]

Burgers in Lan Kwai Fong: Bulldogs

For the past few weeks my father and I have made it our Friday lunch to grab a burger and a beer at Bulldogs in Lan Kwai Fong.  I’ve decided that we should check out the other pubs in the area to find out who has the best burger so keep checking back to find [...]

Ivan the Kozak

Ivan the Kozak is an odd little gem found just below Hollywood Rd., next to the escalators. You simply can’t miss the place. Even though you have to cut down an alley, the Russian statue out front guarding the menu is anything but hidden. The place offers reasonable prices for their delicious, traditional Russian & [...]
