A visit to Chengdu is not complete without a trip to see these adorable, lazy creatures we call pandas. Actually these pandas were really the only reason I wanted to go to Chengdu in the first place, and though this definitely isn’t the cheapest experience (volunteering – which actually is […]
An absolute must-do when visiting Shanghai is of course savouring every possible xiao long bao (小笼包 soup dumpling) you let in sight (not actually kidding). You can literally find xiao long bao’s in every Chinese/local restaurant, but how can you ensure that you’re not wasting your calories on what’s just […]
If you’ve read my “One Day in Shanghai itinerary“, you’ll know that Shanghai Marriage Market is a place I always try to visit whenever I’m in Shanghai, China – and also after I’ve had a good dose of Jia Jia Tang Bao & Yang’s Dumplings! The marriage market usually consists […]
You’ve got a limited amount of time in Shanghai. Maybe you’re there for a transit en-route to another exciting destination; maybe you’re there at the end of a work week, just before you’re headed back home to the comforts of your own pillow & bed. Maybe you’re in Shanghai because […]

Tucked away amidst all the antique shops and burgeoning brunch/hipster cafes in the very trendy neighbourhood of Sheung Wan, lies “For Kee Restaurant” (科記咖啡室), Hong Kong’s best pork chop rice! A small yet insanely busy & popular pork chop house, run by a few kind old folks (potentially a family […]
Earlier this year I headed off to Xiamen, China primarily to explore the Hakka roundhouses (tulou cluster houses) that are a UNESCO heritage site. (Click here for my video on the Hakka Houses) We flew into Xiamen, China from Hong Kong just for a short weekend getaway, flights cost around […]
