Whenever we go to Hong Kong, one of our favourite areas to be is Tsim Sha Tsui. It is, after all, the “happening” place to be where dining and shopping are concerned. Besides these, it’s also a key commercial area and several museums (The HK Space Museum, the HK Museum of Art and the Science Museum) are scattered around the vicinity too. Nathan Road is the main thoroughfare that runs through this area and huge malls, boutiques, restaurants and commercial buildings flank both sides of the … [Read more...]

My favourite is the pinkish Hoegaarden Rosee with a delightful fruity … [Read more...]
Xin Cuisine – divine dimsum for private dining
We all know that for an authentic dimsum experience, it should be all about selecting your favourites from piled-high baskets on trolleys and carts pushed around in the restaurant. At least that’s how dimsum was enjoyed back in my hometown. One of my favourite earliest childhood memories is going for “yum cha” in the wee hours of the morning, just after dawn and chasing after the dimsum carts for my favourite siew mais. King Siew Mai There are still some restaurants here that serve … [Read more...]

Flying with the wind in Melbourne the Global Ballooning way!
How would you like to “move with the wind”? That’s not a clichéd phrase. That is exactly what happens when you go ballooning. This activity may not be very common here in Malaysia but in Melbourne, Australia, it is an attraction that’s readily available.

Prosperity Feasts at Xin Cuisine, Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur
Xin, the Chinese restaurant in Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur, is impressive looking with its majestic dragon pillars reaching up to the ceiling. Each pillar has a glorious dragon intricately carved, entwining itself around the pillar and reaching upwards. I’m sure there are many interpretations and stories behind these golden pillars. Amidst this grand Oriental setting, we seated ourselves at a table decked out with fine red tablecloths and delicate porcelain tableware for a prosperity … [Read more...]

Have a gourmet Chinese New Year meal at Noble Mansion
When it comes to Chinese New Year, many are willing to splurge on meals with family and friends. Well, at least, most of my friends and family do.

That’s what my mother taught me anyway. For a gourmet meal that doesn’t compromise on quality, the classy … [Read more...]
