Surprised to have 鼎泰豐 and other Michelin recommended cuisines on the plane. Too bad I overslept and missed it. Nonetheless, dining in the skies have never been this pleasant until EVA Air.

Love curry, and I’ve had curry across multiple countries and continents. Yet... What’s White curry? And what’s Grouper Belly curry? Never had either, so I had to try! Pretty surprising flavor and combination. The only “disappointment/surprise” came when the name “Lau Pa Sat” had nothing really to do with Singaporean food. The menu was more of a mix between Chinese and Hong Kong cuisine instead.

Great craft beer, interesting fusion food! 奶油多士 with Foie Gras! Yummi~~~

初尝酒窝的火锅。 只能说竟然比卤味和卤肉饭还要绝！！！ 全场真的都惊呆了！ 九尾草的甜味，让酒窝的清汤成为继捞王我唯一喝的火锅汤！ 分量多到不管到少人，好像都还是吃不完……… 小恩，你真的太强了！

Peet’s!!! First store in Shanghai!!!! I am the first 10 customers to walk in at their first day of soft opening on Dong Hu Lu in Shanghai! Decor is more upscale than Peet’s in the US, and they are carrying a lot more other coffee related products, trying to transform itself into a full “coffee lifestyle brand”. Beverages wise? Nitro Cold Brew... ‘Nuff said!

OMG~~~! I love Nasi Lemak, but the Nasi Lemak burger is such a sensation! Although I expected to have Coconut milk seasoned rice patties instead of Buns to complete the “Nasi” part of Nasi Lemak, the fried chicken is WAAAY succulent, and the Belacan chili is authentic. Even comes with the cucumbers! Couldn’t help it but got a second one before we departed!

Once a Michelin One Star restaurant, but had their star revoked a couple of years ago. Nonetheless, it's a 5mins stroll away from our hotel, and on our friend's recommended list. So it's a no brainer to try it. Korean cuisine with a slight modern twist, but generally loyal to the original flavour. The pork belly is awesome, succulent and tender. The other noteworthy dish is the Egg Over the top fried rice! Certainly worth visiting.

Oyster bar on the corner of the Ace Hotel. Very British, with a great IPA. Nice selection of East - West Coast oysters.

Love the cold brew on draught! Greatly enhances the Ace Hotel experience.

Woohoo! Finally made it to Chelsea market, and definitely had to go for Lobster rolls! Sweet, Fresh with a dash of lemon. Not too much mayonnaise, which preserved the freshness of the lobsters. Amazing~!

What's not to love?? Loud, chic decor, and South East Asian fusion cuisine is certainly a deadly combo for me. Their rendition of the Thai style sticky noodle pork loins was certainly fun and delicious at the same time. Great Ambience, Great Food, Great Wine, and Great friends. What's not to love?

Café at BluePrint. Too healthy for my usual, but seems like a good way to start the day!

Chic Sushi Bar recently opened in IAPM on Huaihai Rd. The ambience is upbeat and chic with a DJ table ready to party. Since it's a soft opening, the lack of service is made up for by their politeness and attitude. The menu offers Californian inspired sushi. Besides spicy tuna, they also offer variations of the Californian concept (Sweet and mayo/sauce rich) with Eel, Tempura and Salmon. While the concept is cool, the quality of food hasn't quite matched up to the price. So I'm looking forward to see how it ramps up.

It may look just like an other HK style 茶餐厅, but the Lo Mei （卤味) in this shop is certainly solid.

Loco Moco!!!! @Al's Diner Well, I've heard a lot about this Hawaiian fave, but only finally got to try it out. However, seems Al's rendition of it is a little too healthy, and a lot less greasy gravy. The patty is noteworthy, but the rice (buttered) was TAAAASSSTTTYYY! Others couldn't help ordering the fried chicken and waffle, which was.... of course.... irresistible!

For the first time, I'm not having Tung Po at 渣華街市. Not a bad alternative, but more importantly, thanks for the great company from my team!

Mother's Day lunch! Searched online for a interesting place to take my mum, and found this modern fusion Taiwanese Dim Sum place. While Dim Sum ain't Taiwan's forte, this restaurant tries an interesting take on traditional Taiwanese snacks like 割包、buns and glutinous rice balls. These snacks are designed to mimic Mario Bros mushrooms, colourful 雨花石, porcupines and stuff. The 五味九孔 ice cream cone takes a Taiwanese favourite mussel, puts in on a cream mash, and places it in an ice cream cone, and serves as a cute and tasty appetiser. Food is interesting and OK in taste. But certainly an interesting place for some inspiration.

Quiet working afternoon, with good food and good coffee.,

Another blast of tasty hole in the walls near home. This is a real popular joint in the Muzha area, always packed with queues. The cheap and delicious Sushi is why! Loved the Hirame sushi, but the Tempura rolls are too cheesy for my liking. Overall, a must go if you live in Muzha.

Hottest new joint for Unagi in Taipei! Offers many different styles of preparing Unagi: 1. Grilled from start to ready 2. Grilled then steamed 3. Steamed all the way Being fans of Hizenya, Grilled all the way is my typical fave, but since the mixed method of Grill and steam is rare, I decided to try that for myself today. Steamy as you lift open the Jyu (box), the Unagi is chewier and more moist than the usual grilled ones. As the rice is steamed together in the wooden jyu, it is soggier but carries the scent of wood. Very unique. But to be honest, my heart is still with the grilled ones~ The Unagi sets come with a selection of 4/6/8 piece, which dictate the size (and price) of your serving. The 8 piece is a hearty portion enough for a full grown male Unagi lover. Service is very efficient, as they are bustling with business. This one month old new kid on the block is definitely poised to rock the Unagi lovers market.

Homemade Nasi Lemak!!!

New joint right around the corner! It's rare to find joints like these opening up in the corners of Muzha. But a few just like have sprouted out within walking distance. So what's not to love! Specialising in Beer and Craft Beer, Taiwan Bistro offers an interesting selection of local Taiwan craft beer. Surprised to see this niche market growing in Taiwan, I ordered a few to get a feel of the market. Generally, the Taiwanese taste bud seems to favour fruity selections (such as Longan, Apple, Green Tea, etc.) but I wanted to start with the "alcoholic's selection". 酒花炸彈 is a light blonde IPA, with a floral bouquet of flavours. While still bitter (which is what I like about IPA), the floral accents make it lighter and slightly more palatable. A nice selection of the ladies who like a bit more punch at 10%. Like this very much! Especially the fact that it feels "lighter" than normal IPA, so it doesn't leave me feeling full and bulgy. Wanting to venture more to the "Dark Side", I was recommended the Dark Ale also from "Jim & Dad's" (a craft brewery in I-Lan). Still smooth and silky, but not as frothy as the Irish kind. Very fresh accents of wheat, but it lacks the character I like in beer, and it feels slightly "watery" compared to usual Dark Ale. Gotta go test others soon!

Nothing beats the flavour of home! Everywhere in Taiwan, everyone has that one special shop/stall around the corner of home, that reminds us of being back home. All parts of the Pig + a nice bowl of dried noodles. Home is certainly where the heart is!

Definitely a must try on Linjiang Night Market! The chicken fillet is aptly named 爆汁雞塊 as is bursts with juiciness! (Note the dripping chicken in the pic). Sweet and aptly salty. Definitely gonna try the 香雞排（天王雞排）next time!

Touristy must have. It's been so long since I had 雪花冰～ Yummy～
