April 13, 2019 is a date I will treasure for the rest of my life. It’s been 2 years, but I can still remember every single moment of our incredible wedding day (with a big exception for the end of the night when almost EVERYONE at our wedding below 40 years old blacked out 😅). …
Chicken adobo is my all-time favorite comfort food. I have fond childhood memories of being in my room and perking up when the savory, intoxicating smell of my mom’s chicken adobo made its way from the kitchen to my nose. This happened on a weekly basis in my Filipino home, so it became instinct to immediately run downstairs to the …
If you’ve read my guide on Hong Kong restaurants, then you may have seen my love for a Sichuan spot called Sijie (and more recently at Yu Chuan Club). Both restaurants have a unique concept where you pay a flat amount per person, and the more people you dine with, the more dishes you get …
If you haven’t seen Parasite yet, then you’re not only missing out on the best movie of 2019, but the epic scene that resulted in this delicious instant noodle dish called RAM-DON! The actual Korean dish is called Jjapaguri (짜파구리) made from combining 2 popular instant noodles by the Korean brand Nongshim — Chapaghetti and …
[2026 Update: We just revisited Associazione Chianti, and I’m happy to say it’s as consistent as when I first posted this review back in 2019 with most of the menu items listed below unchanged. I recommend going for the Weekend Lunch set menu with the Bistecca alla Fiorientina so you can get the garganelli pasta …
Happy almost Thanksgiving! If you’ve read my post highlighting the Thanksgiving specials available in NYC, then you’ve seen Mimi Cheng’s November special Thanksgiving dumplings made with organic turkey, homemade stuffing and turkey gravy with fresh cranberry sauce. Since I’m spending this Thanksgiving in Hong Kong and sadly can’t get to Mimi Cheng’s, I wanted to …
It’s peanut butter NOODLE TIME! I love making these spicy peanut noodles with chili oil & fried garlic because they’re utterly delicious and SO easy to whip up using pantry ingredients (and yes, I’m here to convince you to make all of these ingredients standbys in your pantry if they aren’t already!). Using only 7 …
You know in TV shows and movies where a knight is about to go into battle, so their squire helps them get into their armor? Now imagine that, except instead of a knight you’re watching a 74 year old Thai woman donning large protective goggles and bright red lipstick, arms extended as a staff member …
If you combined the skyscrapers and hustle of New York City with Hawaii‘s hiking and beaches and threw it off southern China, you would get Hong Kong. I’ve grown to truly love this vibrant city over the past 7 years living here, and highly recommend visiting its unique mix of dining, culture, nightlife, and nature. …
If you put New York City on steroids, added Hawaii’s hiking and beaches, and threw it off southern China, you would get Hong Kong. I’ve grown to love this vibrant city over the past 7 years living here, and while it certainly has its flaws, it’s definitely worth a visit for its unique mix of …
