As a self-proclaimed ice cream snob, I must admit that I really loved MilkTop. I’d say it’s ice cream for the older Asian palette. It’s creamy, has a strong flavor of whatever you choose – many being Asian flavors like chestnut, green tea (those were the two I tried), sweet potato, yuzu, and passionfruit – [...]

I had lunch at Red Chili 紅辣椒, a Thai restaurant chain in Hong Kong, during the afternoon tea hours. About HKD$50 got me a full meal. (Look at that picture.) It wasn’t too memorable, but it’s not bad for quick meal. The food came out fast! Don’t blink or you might miss it.

I wasn’t digging the place I had shaved snow the other day, but the one I had from Sawdust Dessert 糖樓甜品屋 was way better. The ice was a lot lighter and not so sweet, plus they do mixed (half/half) flavors! G/F, 477-481 Jaffe RoadCauseway Bay 銅鑼灣謝斐道477-481號肇明大廈地下

My guy Dommy Ng didn’t have the best English, but he tried and it was enough to get the job done. He was really nice. The place is hip and trendy, but great service. A cut for me was originally HKD$320, but he gave a discount since my friend Phil referred me, so the total [...]

I’m a huge fan of ice cream, and one thing that never impressed me about Asia is its ice cream … until I tried Gelare! Coming from San Francisco, I’m all about organic ice cream, not the chains like Haagen Dazs or Coldstone, which are too sweet for my liking, anyway. Gelare is new to [...]

Gong Cha is a reliable source for boba drinks, located all over Hong Kong (or Asia in general). I tried their Gong Cha Milk Green Tea 奶蓋綠茶, not to be confused with regular milk green tea 奶香綠茶. Instead, it’s green tea topped with a whipped milk foam. The tea flavor was not too strong, but [...]

Hui Lau Shan Healthy Dessert 許留山 seemed to be everywhere, like, in every block. It’s great for all your mango cravings. A cup of their blended mango drinks is about HKD$21, which is USD$3. I actually consider this pricey compared to the one in San Francisco, but at least everything is definitely made fresh – [...]
