Shika Teppan-Yaki

Hong Kong — causeway bay, chef's choice, japanese, omakase, verdict: pass
Shika Teppan-Yaki

It was my friend’s birthday and we decided to head out for Japanese. Unsure of what exactly we wanted, sushi or teppanyaki we opted for Shika Teppan-Yaki. It’s situated in Causeway Bay a little bit away from the busy streets. That set up the hopes for a nice dinner with my friends as we walked...

Lei Garden

Hong Kong — dim sum, food, michelin star, wanchai
Lei Garden

Another day of dim sum may seem like too much, but if know about the vast variety and all the famous restaurants, you won’t be bored. Even though this was another popular place, it’s on the higher on of the price range. Not the most expensive but it can make a dent in your wallet...

Tim Ho Wan

Hong Kong — dim sum, food, hong kong station, michelin star, mtr
Tim Ho Wan

We arrived early, real early, like 7am early. So what to do but to go find dim sum at the usually overcrowded place in town. One of which would be the Michelin Star rated restaurant Time Ho Wan. I’ve eaten at the one in Mongkok but since we were on Hong Kong, we went to...

Surawon

United States · Los Angeles — comfort food, korean, koreatown, ox tail
Surawon

We had this great recommendation from a friend, Surawon, a low key place in a very unsuspecting part of Koreatown. Sure, it’s on Olympic but it’s not in the heart of where all the new places are popping up. So it was fantastic for parking and even more wonderful that we didn’t have to wait...

Au Pied de Cochon

Canada · Montreal — foie gras, food, french, quebecois
Au Pied de Cochon

There are restaurants out there that you have to go to when you visit a city. Here in Montreal, that place is Au Pied de Cochon which translates to “the foot of the pig.” And yes, that is a signature dish on the menu. You can read about that later. For me, this place is...

Le Quartier Général

Canada · Montreal — bistro, bring your own wine, byob, food, french, quebecois
Le Quartier Général

One of the things I look forward in Montreal is all the French food. Or should I say, the Québécois flare it has. Although I can’t quite put my finger on what makes it Québécois, I can tell it’s both different and good. Damn good. This was my experience at Le Quartier Général, a restaurant in the Plateau....

Lunch at Akiko’s Restaurant

United States · San Francisco — food, lunch, nigiri tasting, sushi
Lunch at Akiko’s Restaurant

What’s for lunch after yesterday’s amazing sushi dinner? Sushi. Yes. It’s sushi time again. However, it’s at another well known establishment, Akiko’s Restaurant. Not to be mistaken for Akiko’s Sushi Bar on Mason. My friends made that mistake and I hear it happens quite often. The Akiko’s I’m talking about sits on Bush near Grant. There’s no...
