songque-pho
According to Yelp, Sông Quê has the best reviews. At 7pm on a Friday, it also had the most customers along Kingsland road, the Vietnamese strip of Viet restaurants. Being Friday night, we should’ve reserved a table but they let us in after making sure that we’d leave in an...

KamTong-resto
We had eaten dim sum all over the globe during our travels but no where else was the dim sum better than here! Yes, it was even better than in Toronto! The dishes were very fresh and came piping hot to our table. The century egg and pork congee was...

borough-mkt-pork-pie
  Borough Market is a vibrant place with stalls both indoors and out and drinking holes nearby that cater to all sorts of pockets. We bought Mrs King’s pork pie here which has won Melton Mowbray Pork Pie 2011 Award but unfortunately, it was inedible! The filling was so salty...

We were recommended this gastropub by Aurélie and we’re very thankful to her for it! The pub was packed when we arrived, around 7:30pm on a Wednesday. We had to wait 15 minutes for our table (note that they don’t take reservations). The sourdough bread was delivered to the table...

mrKong-crispyduck
We had planned for many culinary experiences, see London calling, but the best laid plans… Our first meal in London and I had been looking forward to eating here after reading all the positive reviews on Yelp. Unfortunately, the food was ok but nothing to rave about. I ordered half...

Century egg

century-eggs
Century egg, thousand year old and a host of other names are attributed to this specialty. Wikipedia explains it best so I’m not even going to try. I will tell you that the egg white is a bit slimy while the grey yolk has a creamy texture that is unique...

My friend and I were here at 5:30 last Wednesday and the restaurant was empty. We both had the bibimbap – mine was beef and the friend’s was vegetable. The portions are huge here! I enjoyed mine very much and I must say that this bibimbap from Koreana is way...

Preserved tofu

preserved-tofu
Preserved tofu or fermented tofu is a special dish that smells a bit funky and is definitely not a first love for the Western palate. It is usually sold in jars with the tofu cubes immersed in a chili oil, brine,  and some type of vinegar. I grew up with...
