• California Coastal Cruise Day 1

  

  On a beautiful but chilly Saturday morning, we boarded the Sapphire Princess for a 7-night California Coastal Cruise! I was more than happy with our stateroom, which was definitely larger expected. I slept incredibly well for my entire trip, probably t

• Los Angeles Revisit

  

  This blog is going to be travel-focused for the next little while because I went on two trips in April, the first being the Golden State! I was so glad to be leaving the awful weather in Toronto (freezing rain in April!?). Our plane had to be de-iced be

• 沙龍廚房 Solar Kitchen (Macau)

  

  Finally on my last post of my Asia trip over the holidays (and I'm just about to go on my next trip in a few days time!) I was super stoked when my dad booked a private kitchen dinner for my family, something that I've never experienced before. Don't

• Yamamoto Japanese Cuisine

  

  It's no secret that I'm not a big fan of all you can eat Japanese food. But recently, the owner of Watami (which I frequent) opened a new Japanese restaurant in Market Village, so I figured I should give it a try. Yamamoto actually replaced Mongolian Gril

  Sandy, Mel and I tried out Prohibition Gastrohouse for a belated birthday celebration. Mel had the open-faced sloppy joséphine ($15) - duck fat confit lamb shank, spicy antipasto-aioli, shredded iceberg and focaccia. She particularly liked the bread.

• Butao Ramen (Hong Kong)

  

  If you think that there's been a ramen craze in Toronto, let me assure you that the situation is  even crazier in Hong Kong! Given my limited time in Hong Kong (and limited stomach capacity), I had to go with the best of the best! And I hear from good au

• Buca Osteria & Enoteca

  

  I'm not kidding when I say that I've been dying to go to Buca for awhile. But every time I make a reservation, something always comes up to thwart my plans! Finally, I got a chance to try Buca during my last (ever) reading week. The restaurant itself

• Fat Siu Lau 2 (Macau)

  

  Fat Siu Lau is an upscale Portuguese restaurant in Macau with many years of history. They have several locations all over the city and this was (surprisingly) my first experience here. Sangria ($190 MOP for a jug here) is the default beverage in any ty

• The Pawn (Hong Kong)

  

  The Pawn in Wan Chai is aptly named for a pawn-shop turned restaurant serving up elevated British fare. The building that it's housed in is quite unique and the architectural influence from the British colonial days is quite evident here. We quickly d
