Jones Grocers Singapore

I had a wonderful simple dinner with Marcus, who stayed in Singapore for 7 years.

A nice and cozy, quiet place at night under the Singaporean Wednesday moon. Service was good and the young waitresses had a great sense of humour talking with me…

We covered a lot of old chat, new news and common understanding of the life in Singapore, German and Hong Kong. The Good is good but I do not take much due to my high BMI…

Boon Tung Kee, Singapore

Boon Tung Kee has earned a lot of appreciation from the magazine and newspaper reporters of Singapore and Hong Kong. A lot of Movie Stars like Andy Lau extols their famous Steamed Chicken as merits best Singaporean Chicken. Situated along the Balistier Road, we had waited just for a whilst because of just two of us, other more than 2 persons may have to wait much longer time. That of the chicken is OK! But the meat was still a big harsh and tasteless. The steam pork on pickled vegetable was amazing, too healthy that almost the fat was cut out.  This dish does not look like oily.  Price was only SD$42.00 for two persons. Quite a good deal. HK Snob

Probably The Most Delicious Dish at Manila Airport

Not just me, friend of mine from Hong Kong, and some senior Colleagues from Singapore had the same comment, This Grilled Pork chop dish is likely, or I should say most probably the most delicious dish in Manila Airport.
It comes with two pieces of pork chops and side veggies, you would see some fat at the rim of the porkchop and slightly burned to become crunchy and a favour of charcoal scents.
Well, not too healthy usually I took part of the fat only, but I do take all the lean portion at the centre, it was not oily and that make you feel stuffed. The rice portion is small which is good for my small stomach. Next time when you come to this 2nd Floor of the airport, on the non-smoking side of this restaurant, Try…
Price is Peso 405. (HKD$80.00, USD$10.00 roughly)

Note: it take 20 mins to come.. if you are hurry, do try the Sanwiches.

Conti's Restaurant



Another type for family gathering or dinner restaurant. I was suprised that the food has a very high standard regarding the easy-going prices. The Dessert was fantastic but I am sure we have to take diet after a few days as the Cake was just huge! Situated in front of the CrownAsia villa at Ayala.

Philippines Cuisine




Philippines food can be so nice if you go to the right place.., This is a famous restaurant in mid of Malate city. The environment is good, a band of three playing guitar I asked for the right mood of Stranger on the shore, A man and a woman, Summer of 42 and Roman Guitar! The food is likely going personal as if the taste for the fish would be better if we use Thai Chili sauce. The Dessert was amazing, sweet ripe mango was topped with layer of Vanilla Ice-cream and some sticky rice dumping.

You can eat the chicken in the chicken broth, as normally , we do not eat the chicken in the soupas it would be like the dried sugar cane, but this is not the case for the Pinoy Way.

I rate this is the best ever I had with Philippines Cuisine. So far...HK Snob

Tao Heung Guang Dong Restaurant



Tao Heung, an usual place for my dinner at Saturday evening. No matter Steam Boat or A la Carte. I like their soup, but knowing that they are not too good if we drink it too much.. Anyway, I think once in a week should be good for our body…Only one thing is that it would be hard to get a seat on Sunday if you go there after 7:30.

Las Paellas in Festival Mall, Alabang, Manila




"Las Paellas" is situated in Festival Mall of Alabang. I think the HK people would love the taste they have in the Beef stripes soup and the Seafood rice. Not too salty, not oily, natural material, amd using sticky rice, There are a lot of positive comments locally for this restaurant, Price is Low and food is clean. Imagine that it took is only HKD$240 for 4 persons including fruit juice, four dishes and 4 coffees! The environment is some what like those small Portuguese Restaurant in Macao. There are two probationary fans on top running very slowing... that causes me to feel drowsy and sleeping! That is why Spanish will close their shops at 2 to 3 in the afternoon for sleeping! I rate this 4 out of 5 for both taste and price. Las Paellas cafe 2/Lvl., Promenade Entrance, Festival Supermall, Alabang Muntinlupa City, Metro Manila Philippines (02) 842-6919
