Don’t be fooled by the delicate cherry blossoms. The city of Yiwu far from qualifies as being one of China’s beautiful cities. It’s industrial, it’s bleak, it’s polluted and like many parts of southern China the sky is a lovely shade white; thick with pollutants where after a few days in the city you can [...]

Here’s one of those places I’ve been visiting for a handful of years now yet never bothered taking the camera along, until now. Tucked in amongst the multitude of international restaurants in the heart of Newtown is this beating little noodle and dumpling restaurant that dishes up no-fuss northern Chinese food.

My love for anything pork runs very deep and no matter how it’s prepared and cooked I’m sure to like it. A few months ago when we had a group of friends over for a Sunday lunch I brought out this dish that everyone seemed to love the most. How could you not. Soft and [...]

Anyone that’s been to Town Hall Square knows that the food scene on a whole isn’t all that thrilling. It’s more of an enclosed thoroughfare rather than destination but there are a couple of places worth stopping at; just don’t try it a 3pm on a weekday. This time of the day will have you [...]
