I grew up watching Doraemon and his favourite food is dora cake , a.k.a. dorayaki or “Doraemon’s cake “, as I called it. Because of him, I loves dorayaki too but it’s near impossible to find a good one in Singapore! So when in Tokyo, I hunted down two of the most famous bakeries selli...

When it comes to ramen, it’s very personal. Everyone has their own favourite’s. Me, I’ve found mine… Kyushu Jangara , a Hakata ramen chain with outlets across Tokyo! I like the Harajuku branch cuz it’s so convenient and the service is friendly. The first level is more for “eat and go”...

Have you heard of Échiré before? This gourmet item is one of the best natural butters produced in France and word has it that it’s produced mainly by hand. You can tell that the French takes their butters as seriously as their wines when there’s a similar AOC (Appellation d’Origine Co...
24/7-365-days-year-round sushi chain , there are many branches in Tokyo but I still prefer the original outlet at Tsukiji Fish Market since nothing beats going to the direct source of fresh fish! The two-level restaurant is very spacious so there’s no need to queue, and it’s apparentl...
There’s Pierre Hermé in Paris , and there’s Hidemi Sugino in Tokyo . Both are pastry masters I love dearly and I’ve been a loyal fan ever since I tasted their magical creations for the first time last year. I’m pretty much obsessed with Pierre Hermé’s macarons but when in Tokyo, Hidem...

Anyone who’s been to Hong Kong knows Xu Liu Shan (許留山) but what about Wu Dai Tong Tang (五代同糖)? We came here for desserts after supper at Tsui Wah and even though it was close to midnight, the cafe was full and we had to wait for a table! I can fully understand why it’s so popular by t...
It was our last night in Hong Kong and I guess we were feeling kind of emo about it. Thinking that we needed some sugar to cheer us up, I suggested going for desserts (at 10pm!) but we got sidetracked en route and decided to go for one last supper first! Lan Fang Yuen popped into mind...
Introducing Lan Fang Yuen (蘭芳園), the cha chaan teng famous for inventing ”pantyhose” milk tea (絲襪奶茶)! The original outlet is at Gage Street in Central (below; taken when I was on the way to Tai Cheong ) but I went to the branch (above) near to my hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. 36-44 Nathan R...
The day I left for Hong Kong, I received a Facebook text from the best friend. She recommended two places for me to try and one of them is Good Hope Noodle (好旺角粥麵專家). According to her, “the porridge (is) really super smooth leh!” so after some googling, I managed to track down this ti...
Whenever friends ask me for dim sum recommendations in Hong Kong, I always direct them to Lin Heung Tea House (莲香楼), my favourite yum cha joint to date! 160-164 Wellington St, Central It’s a traditional type of dim sum restaurant with metal push-carts, grumpy looking servers, noisy wa...
Ok, on to the food. The menu is small (30 items or so) but adequate. We were super hungry and ticked off about half the menu straightaway, and had multiple orders of some dishes thereafter. I don’t take meat but I sort of cheated that day, oops You’ve had dim sum before so I won’t ela...

is another cha chaan teng that I visited years ago and don’t mind going again and again cuz the egg tarts are fantastic!! There’s a (relatively) new branch in Central (I went to the original outlet in Wan Chai the other time) which is definitely a convenient stop for tourists.
Tai Cheong Bakery is an institution of over half a century in Hong Kong (read: die-die-must-try) and the egg tarts are former governor’s, Chris Patten’s, favourite. I believe that they are the favourite of many others as well, yours truly included! 35 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central Today,...
#6 on the list of 40 Hong Kong foods that CNNGo can’t live without is the pineapple bun and Kam Wah Cafe is a reliably famous place to try the real McCoy. There’s always people gathering at the entrance which has a small takeaway counter by the side. Freshly baked buns and egg tarts a...
Yee Shun Milk Company is a chain of cafes from Macau specialising in milk-based (duh) desserts and it’s my favourite place for milk puddings! There’s a branch near Australia Dairy so I came here right after my eggy breakfast! 63 Pilkem St, Jordan A whole fridge of chilled milk pudding...
It’s been 4 years since my first visit to Hong Kong with the parents, and I’ve been missing her ever since. Thankfully, I was lucky to go there again last week and though it was just a 3 days stay, I managed to drop by all the makan joints on my to-eat list! Some of these places I’ve ...
