Asiana Airlines
Really enjoyed flying over to Hong Kong on Asiana Airlines. The stewardesses were cute(!!!), the food was good(!!!) and the service was polite and quick! Also, I had to extend my trip in Hong Kong… no change flight fee. I know people might be scared because of the SF crash last year…but after reading more …
Getting used to kitchens & cooking in Hong Kong
At home, I get so used to sourcing a specific ingredient. I know how to deal with wild boar now – of all sizes, of all fat content levels. Of both sexes. I know how my stove works and how to control the heat extremely well. Here in Hong Kong – I don’t know my …
If you want good quality seafood…
In terms of difficulty: a) Date a diver. (I’m extremely difficult) b) Learn to dive. (easiest) c) Then, befriend someone who dives. (depends on your interpersonal skills, I suppose…) If all the above fails… you always have Hong Kong. The abundance of fresh live seafood is unbelievable here. The seafood doesn’t really start metabolizing …
City Super Grocery
Quite a nice selection at the City Super Market at IFC in Hong Kong. A lot of the ingredients had varieties from different countries, and in the US I usually see only duck foie gras, but there was a goose v duck in the city super market. Though, quite expensive. I also bought a pancetta …

Ribeye and Rib Cap
My morning consisted of waking up to play Clash of Clans (I love building stuff, and computer games…it’s pretty much an endless game that is brilliantly designed) and it has everything to do with gathering more resources (much like real life in America) and then calling the heartland of America (Montana) at 8AM HK Time …

Uni pasta

As with most simple recipes, the quality of ingredients is paramount to the final dish, so get top quality everything. The pasta I use here is rustichella bucatini, the Uni is Maruka from San Diego (larger than …
Eleven Madison Park
I’m pretty sure that a meal at Eleven Madison Park, the number 5 restaurant in the world (not that it matters) was the perfect bookend to an awesome week and half in NYC. I believe the opening was Da Wong with Quintarelli’s wines. Eleven Madison Park has this beautiful entryway. Is this called a courtyard? And actually, I’m still …
