I had a meal at Crystal Jade in Somerset Palace Hotel in Seoul. Not bad not good. Scarcely acceptable quality as a whole. Unable to finish the Dandan noodles I ordered for the main, which, people say, is amongst the best ones at Crystal Jade. The noodles emitted a noticeably offensive wheat odour. Moreover, unpleasing […]
Jjamppong, Korean Chinese noodle in Daegu
I eat Jjamppong once every three or four years. It is the day! I indulged in thick and heavy-sauced soup.
Chinese black tea, morning break and a move for the day
Morning black tea for breakfast. Chinese black tea, instead of coffee or food. Morning break and a move for the day.
Chinese bean curd cream
Dòufǔrǔ(豆腐乳; Bean curd cream) Làdòubàn (辣豆辩; pungent bean cube) Fermented soybean. Cheese-like texture and taste with a spreadable and creamy consistency and pronounced flavour. As the name contains many ‘辛’s, it is hot and piquant. However, the pungent taste does not bother to enjoy it because it is highly sweet and salty at the same […]
Dim Sum, eating and learning how-tos
Never imagined that I might be able to have chances to be one of them. One who enjoys the ‘touch the heart – Dim Sum 点心’. Different from my previous thought, dim sum was not just eating a variety of dumplings but also drinking tea. Besides, it was also learning the culture and how-tos. This […]

Tea House Dim Sum in Hong Kong
Mistakenly led to a restaurant and had some food and it turned out a serendipity. It was a tea house named Lin Heung 蓮香樓, in Central Hong Kong. As the ambience being quite attractive when we got in, our company took seats and tried a few menus. All the meals that we had were satisfying […]
Tim Ho Wan, dim sum restaurant in Hong Kong
As far as I know Tim Ho Wan is the most well-known dim sum franchise restaurant in Hong Kong. The branch expands not only to Mainland and Island of Hong Kong but also to Singapore and the States. We, a company of three, visited the original restaurant, which recently moved to Olympian City near Mong […]
Shark fin soup dumpling in Hong Kong Island
Stopped by a dim sum restaurant, on the way to another one, Tim Ho Wan, for I saw many aged people inside the restaurant. I always believe that the restaurant with the old never fails. However, found that they were so and so. But one dumpling that I would like to take notice was shark […]
