I love to eat with my hands. Everything just tastes better that way - BBQ short ribs, chicken wings, lamb chops, strawberries, McNuggets... Colonel Sanders’ got it right: “finger lickin’ good.”
But as much as I enjoy smacking my fingers and licking my face, most restaurants...
The tax on alcohol is about to be drastically cut! Do you realize what this means? It means cheaper prices at the bar, and Lan Kwai Fong Entertainments are the first to lower prices. To recap: Financial Secretary Henry Tang last week announced a reduction on beer and liquor (with under 30 percent...
I skipped to Lan Kwai Fong hours after finance secretary Henry Tang gave the catering industry the biggest lai see of all - a cut in wine and beer duties by half. And I took that to mean half off my drinks as well. But I later found out bar math doesn’t work that way and news, contrary to...
In my youth, I once dumped a really good guy because he was a vegan. I figured we had nothing in common since food is what I live for and I could quite easily live
without him.
It was only years later at a chance meeting that I found him eating a bacon cheeseburger and swigging a glass of house red...
Nary a week goes by without a new baby born in this newly energized dining zone of Wyndham Street. Gang, I wrote all about the fab new joints there only a few weeks ago and now yet another restaurant has opened. From one of our good friends comes Frog Face Fish, which is based almost entirely on...
I remember every time I’ve ever thrown up in my adult life. The most recent was after dinner with Dick at the local yakitori joint. We downed four bottles of sake, mixing in lamb chops, sausages and chicken parts on skewers. Apparently, I spent the night hugging the toilet. Not fun for a...
The Italian Job
It must be some kind of Italian thing but it seems everyone is making new pizza menus now. The latest and one of the best we’ve had in some time comes courtesy of PizzaExpress with new head chef Carlos Rebolledo. Hailing from the greatest wine-producing regions of Spain (...
I secured a table at NOBU way before it opened. What can I say? I bought into the hype. I thought if I didn’t book one that early, I wouldn’t be able to get one for months. My reservation was for the first Saturday after its opening – a pretty hot table, really; so hot I couldn...
Will the Wyndham Street explosion never stop? Just opened is Pelican Pub, the latest Igor’s group venture in the old location of the 7-11 just across from EDGE bar serving up healthy versions of pub fare and loads of lager on tap.
There’s a new place to get your oyster groove on in SoHo...
I’m really not big on Valentine’s Day. In fact, most years I pretend it doesn’t exist.
I’d love to find a country, or even a small village that doesn’t celebrate Feb 14th. I’m looking for the Valentine equivalent of Bradford, England, a town whose overly PC...
