Shanghai Whirlwind Tour Guide

Date of visit: 20-24 December 2014

The time has come to finally blog about the trip I made to Shanghai.  Wasn't planning on blogging about it on this food blog but there's so much good stuff to share so I just had to!  Makes it easier for me to share these recommendations with friends headed there too.

Food galore ahead!  And also some general touristy things to do ;)

Please pardon how chopped up it sounds because I edited my original full-length post-trip summary for the sake of brevity!  Hope this is still useful regardless.

Hong Kong 'Ho Ho Sek'

Date of Visit: 12-15 July 2014

A very belated post, but I thought I should still share the goodies we had the privilege of trying when we went to Hong Kong over this summer.

Day One

Woke up bright and early to take our 9.30am flight to HK!!!  Was so excited and still packing away the night before so I slept really late, but that didn't stop me from waking up early.  This post comes really late but I hope the photos and rusty recollections will still do the trip justice!

I will miss trying to scramble away from the HK water dripping from goodness-knows-where and just feeling absolutely pleased that I was in foodie heaven.  From the cheap to the expensive, everything was simply sublime and every meal had me beaming with happiness even if it was something as simple as scrambled eggs or wanton mee.  Needless to say, the cheap prices made it easy on the wallet and was a great bonus.

Food Galore In Bruges

Date of Visit: 24-26 March 2014

This past March, K and I headed to the lovely city of Bruges (sometimes referred to as "The Venice of the North") in Belgium for a short getaway and we found quite a few gems there which I thought I should share with all of you here!

Bruges is a one-hour train ride away from Brussels, and we really liked that it had an old town feel to it as compared to the more modern Brussels.  Definitely a place for leisurely dining and sightseeing and although it may not be everyone's cup of tea since it can come across as quite boring, it suited us just fine because the good food made up for the lack of activities.
