Must Eat Soup Dumplings at Dumpling Kitchen

January 31st, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Chinese, Food, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

I’m hooked on the soup dumplings (小籠包) from Dumpling Kitchen. I can’t believe it opened up a few months ago and I just found out about it now. The soup dumplings are some of the best that I’ve had in the city. The skin is thin and durable with a slight resemblance to the ones [...]

Filet Mignon at Bob’s Steak and Chop House

January 29th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under American, Food / Leave A Comment

After years of walking by Bob’s Steak Chop House during my lunch break, I finally went in for a steak. I’m pretty sure I was the only guy in a t-shirt, not that I care. Service was decent. Overall, a solid joint for filet mignon, or steak in general. The “smashed potatoes” and the fries [...]

Burmese Food at Sapphire Asian Cuisine

January 28th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Burmese, Food / Leave A Comment

All this time I didn’t know Sapphire Asian Cuisine was not only a Chinese-buffet bar but also doubled as a Burmese restaurant. I’m not gonna say it’s the best, but it get’s the job done if you’re craving Burmese food in the FiDi. It beats going to the Richmond. The tea leaf salad uses lettuce [...]

Hapa SF Pop-up Dinner at La Victoria Mexican Bakery and Cafe

I had my doubts about Hapa SF at first, but after I took that first bite of the lumpia ginger-scallion chicken, I was a believer. It was a little cramp and stuffy inside La Victoria Mexican Bakery and Cafe, but we Asians are used to cramp seating anyway. The minced meat inside was mushier than [...]

January 24th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Macau, Must Eat, Travels / Leave A Comment

Serradura is Portuguese for sawdust, so Serradura pudding literally translates to sawdust pudding, and that’s what it looks like with all the crushed biscuits on top. It’s famous in Macau, and especially at Gelatina Mok Yi Kei in the little busy street of Rua da Cunha (Souvenir Street). It’s cream, condensed milk, and biscuit – [...]

Las Vegas Style Buffet at 888 Gourmet Place in Sands Macau

January 24th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Fusion, Macau, Travels / 2 Comments

While in Macau, we had to have at least one buffet meal. (That’s how it is when I’m in Las Vegas too.) We ate at 888 Gourmet Place in Sands Macau. The food was ok. Excellent presentation! I liked their sashimi selection. Buffets in America usually don’t offer sashimi at buffets, and when they do, [...]

The Venetian Macau – Pictures

January 24th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Macau, Travels / Leave A Comment

Here are some pictures of the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel in Cotai, Macau, China. It didn’t feel as grand as the one in Las Vegas, but it was a good try, and it’s probably the most fun hotel in the island. It’s worth the visit if you’re in Macau.

Just wanted to share some quick pictures from the party I attended on New Year’s Eve. It was at the Hotel LKF, just around the corner from the madness of the busy street of Lan Kwai Fong. Two floors plus a rooftop that gave an awesome view of the fireworks.

New Year’s Eve at Lan Kwai Fong 蘭桂坊 in Hong Kong

Just wanted to share some pictures to show the madness over at Lan Kwai Fong (蘭桂坊) in Hong Kong during New Years Eve. They blocked of one end of the street so that everyone had to enter from the bottom only. The streets were gated so everyone had to walk a certain path – a [...]

HK-Style Food at Kai Kee Restaurant in Western District 佳記餐廳(西環店)

January 5th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Chinese, Food, Hong Kong, Travels / Leave A Comment

Average Hong Kong style food at Kai Kee Restaurant 佳記餐廳(西環店) in the Western District. You know … noisy, lots of locals, dirty feeling, but if you live in the area, it’s the type of place you’d possibly go to by default. Nothing to go out of your way for. They seem to special in claypot [...]
