My 5 Favourite {Special} Hong Kong Restaurants
I’m going to keep this series of Hong Kong restaurant posts relatively short & sweet since I have written full reviews for most of the restaurants. This post features my favourite special...
Tao, Pan-Asian Love
I recently had the pleasure of eating at one of the best restaurants that I’ve been to in a long time, Tao in New York. It’s a true “modern pan-Asian” restaurant in everything from the décor to the dishes, and despite its...
Aqua, A New Favourite
So, just in case you missed the memo repeated in many a previous post, Aqua is my favourite restaurant in Hong Kong. Having visited for dinner 5 times now and experienced their incredible value bottomless brunch, I can honestly say that the standard at Aqua is...
Lung King Heen: 3-Michelin Starred Chinese
Lung King Heen is the first Chinese restaurant in the world to have been awarded the coveted Michelin 3-star rating and the only Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong to hold all 3; is ranked the 10th best restaurant in Asia and 20th best in the world, according to the respective Forbes 50 Best Lists...
Hutong: The Very Best “Western-Chinese”
In the midst of a torrential downpour Josie & I braved the slippery streets of HK on a mission to make it to Hutong on time for our dinner reservation. As part of the Aqua restaurant group, and having heard only good things about the northern-Chinese restaurant both in London and Hong Kong...
22 Ships: Inventive Tapas From the Famous Atherton
Jason Atherton is well on his way to building a global restaurant empire and has now opened three restaurants in Hong Kong which, aside from 22 Ships, are Aberdeen Street Social (where I enjoyed a decent smashed avo on toast) and Ham & Sherry...
Aqua: Infinity Brunch With A View
Much like New York, Hong Kong is paving the way when it comes to boozy brunch offerings. Though London isn't doing too badly at playing catch-up, it’s still miles behind in terms of choice and value, with the best hotels and restaurants in Hong Kong offering, in many cases, unlimited...
Duck & Waffle: Birthday Dining in the Clouds
So this post is a little late to the game but better late than never. If you care to remember it was my birthday in June and I celebrated the day dining high in the sky at Duck & Waffle together with a handful of my favourite girls...
Roka, Aldwych: Birthday Celebrations Han Setto Brunching
It’s become a bit of a family tradition to celebrate my birthday at Roka, Charlotte Street, having done so for the past 3 years and doing so again in just over a week (don’t worry, I am going to spare you from another review!). Seeing how fond I am of this tradition and my favourite London restaurant, it felt only natural to treat some of my closest friends to the same experience for their birthdays.

View PostEngawa: Experiencing the “Caviar of Meat” and Sushi & Sashimi of Dreams
It’s no secret I love Asian food, especially Japanese. I’m also not against indulging in a bit of opulence at times, despite a lack of ‘occasion’. So when my friends with similar such tastes suggested an evening of feasting on the world’s “caviar of meat” and the most beautifully presented delicate & delicious sashimi I’ve ever experienced, my answer was an obvious and instant yes.
House of Ho: Sensational Authentic Fine-Dining Vietnamese
Not long ago I was spoiled to a Vietnamese feast for the eyes, the belly and the soul at House of Ho, when a fab bunch of bloggers & I visited to sample star chef Ian Pengelley’s shiny new tasting menu.
Zuma: Valentine’s Day Feasting on Japanese Delights
Since pan-Asian is mine & Michael’s favourite cuisine and, though nothing beats Roka (confirmed once more on this occasion), we thought we’d have a change of scenery and visit its older sister, Zuma, to ‘celebrate’ (if you can truly do such a thing) Valentine’s Day.
Oblix Lounge: Bookatable Star Deal Lunchin’ in the Sky
Oblix is a contemporary grill restaurant located on the 32nd floor of the Shard, the tallest building in London, offering panoramic views of the City for you to enjoy whilst tucking into your meal, which makes for quite the special dining experience.
The Meat Co.: A Surprising South African Steakhouse
I do love me a good steak, so it brings me great joy to tell you about a steakhouse that I recently visited which truly deserves its moment in the limelight.
City Social: Take Two & Totally Worth It
Having had a disappointing experience at City Social early last year, I must admit that I wasn’t particularly fussed about ever returning. However, thankfully I did, and I’m more than happy to say that I stand completely corrected – (nearly) everything was phenomenal.
Scalini: Traditional Fine Dining Italian in Chelsea
Who doesn’t love date night? Personally, for me, nothing beats splitting a good bottle of wine and sharing an indulgent meal with a loved one.
Luiz Hara Supper Club: A Homemade Japanese & Nikkei Feast
A few weeks ago I attended my first ever supper club. But it wasn’t just any supper club – this was Luiz Hara, aka the highly regarded author of the award-winning blog The London Foodie’s, supper club.
Marbella: Tango Restaurante; Sublime Steak
For our first night on holiday, Michael & I wanted to kick things off right, with a great meal. We strolled along Puerto Banus port, peering into the many eateries dotted along the water’s edge.
Roka, Aldwych: Premium Tasting Menus Galore
So, if you didn’t already know, I love Roka. As in, loooooove Roka. Honestly, I think I should get paid for the amount of positive advertising I do for them! Hence I’ve already reviewed Roka, Charlotte Street twice, once back in May, and again for my birthday meal in June.
