It’s about 5° C outside. You’re in a foreign city, you’ve finished work and your feet are sore. It’s about to get dark and you’re feeling a little snacky. What to do? We have two options here: Stay in the hotel and catch the lift downstairs to the restaurant buffet. Rug up, put fresh socks [...]

Every now and then I come across a meal that impresses the crap out of me. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a crisp linen kind of joint with crockery significantly larger than the morsel of food that sits upon it, hell, it could be a crusty hole-in-the-wall with multi-legged ground feeders sharing my dining [...]

Don’t be fooled by the delicate cherry blossoms. The city of Yiwu far from qualifies as being one of China’s beautiful cities.

The eating options in a town like Honkers are sure to bring satisfaction to just about any fussy visitor. While some may just want to tuck into the local specialties and ignore other cuisine options, I like to mix it up a tad. Here’s a run-down of the bunch of places we sunk our teeth into. Bare [...]

Stepping away from the Hong Kong tourist trail can only come with the highest recommendations. I reckon that applies to any city in the world. This trip wasn’t about The Peak, the nightly light show or climbing the steps of the worlds largest outdoor bronze buddha. That was done years ago. This trip was all [...]

When the other half wins a return flight to Hong Kong it would be a bit of a waste if they went on their own, wouldn’t it? Much better with a bit of company, hence my long-long weekend in HK recently. First of all, for the 4 or 5 times I’ve been to Honkers I’ve struggled to cope with [...]
