HK Day Three: What I Learned About Hongkies

May 20, 2010 eating out

When you’re in a foreign country, the hardest thing to do is communicate with the locals. And the easiest thing to do is to misunderstand them. This was my first impression of Hongkies: Rude, loud, and obnoxious snobs. Walking in the streets, I got shoved, pushed, and stepped on by schoolchildren, middle-aged men, and even [...]

HK Day Two: Sheltered and Stuffed

May 19, 2010 eating out

I’m sorry you’re not here in Hong Kong with me, I really am. It’s a great place for a food blogger— never-ending cheap, interesting, delicious foods, and so much walking that you are turned into a bottomless pit. No wonder the Hongkies love their food. And no wonder they are all so slender. My legs [...]

May 18, 2010 eating out

When my friend Jing Wen woke me up to hurry to the airport just two and a half hours after I fell asleep, I nearly cried; I was so tired! I dragged myself out of bed, did some last-minute packing, and hailed a cab to the airport. And then I found out that we were [...]

I. Am. SO. HAPPY!!!! Oh gosh…I wish I can even convey in words how absolutely ELATED I feel to be back in Singapore. Yes, the weather really sucks. I am taking 3 showers a day, which is pointless because I start sweating again the moment I step out of the shower. I also just got [...]

En Route to Sauna City

May 15, 2010 eating out

This post is gonna be all about Korean Airlines (or KAL). In fact, I think KAL should pay me for this review. But sadly, they are not. They don’t even know I exist, but they really should. Know that I exist and pay me, I mean. First of all. I am seriously in love with [...]

Stuffed, Happy, and Bored in Incheon

May 14, 2010 eating out

1. When it comes to overnight flights… …It is worth paying the extra money for business class on long flights, just to feel “rich”, if only for that one 13-hour long flight… …You just want to slurp delicious shrimp wonton noodles, despite the fact that your seat partner is a prissy old business man who [...]
