Dec 31, 2021 · Old school winter feast. Luk Yu Tea House (陸羽茶室) is, without a doubt, one of the most famous restaurants in all of Hong Kong. But somehow I've never been enamored with it.

Jun 25, 2022 · Pork dumplings with pickled chili peppers (剝皮辣椒豬肉餃), from Tseng Dumpling (曾餃子) - these were, apparently, the best-selling item from this shop, and they were really, really delicious.

Jan 30, 2024 · Pin It Many years ago my friend Felix suggested that I check out Il Ristorante Luca Fantin the next time I'm in Tokyo, having been impressed with the chef's cuisine. Fast forward to 2024 and... I still haven't paid Luca Fantin and his team a visit.
吃喝玩樂 - Diary of a Growing Boy: Stayin' alive for a third year
Le canard «Lur Saluces» - a new presentation sees the duck come in very thin slices, served with different purée of carrot, saffron, and mandarin, as well as small carrots with saffron strands.
