明けましておめでとうございます！ Happy New Year! 🙂 After a night of eating and drinking, TBH and I were completely knackered today. Except for breakfast and getting some groceries from the supermarket, we hibernated at home the entire day. For dinner, we had
Ending The Year With Friends

Tokyo Getaway: Ramen At Hakata Tenshin
A five-day trip that will take me months to complete blogging! One thing for sure, I could not be a “professional blogger”. ‘Cos I won’t ever survive in this cut-throat business of having to constantly generate fresh material, in a
Dildos & Duck
Yesterday, I had lunch with two girlfriends at Imperial Treasures Super Peking Duck. We totally pigged out. Ordered platters of dimsum, noodles and one WHOLE Peking duck. We had a great time discussing and giggling away about dildos and vibrators,
Korea 2010: Tosokchon
Quite a number of people have asked me for a samgyetang recommendation in Seoul. I am a big fan of samgyetang. Okay, I like the soup and chicken, not so much the glutinous rice that is stuffed inside the chicken.

Me And My Tokyo Banana
^ 東京ばななをたべるのが大好きです！ とても美味しい。東京へ行った時に、東京が一つの箱をかったんです。友達も東京へ行く時に、私に一つの箱を買ってくれます。 Tokyo Banana! It is very delicious. (Well, only if you like sponge cake and banana custard…) They have quite a few variations of the Tokyo Banana but my favourite is the original version, which is just sponge cake filled
Baikoken: Shoyu Ramen
Right after I said that I do not eat any other type of ramen besides Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen, I went to Beikoken at North Canal Road today and ate a bowl of shouyu ramen for lunch. I was supposed to
Hakata Ramen: Ikkousha At Ramen Champion
Back in 2006, TBH and I spent three days in Hakata city, Fukuoka during a trip to Japan. I don’t remember very much of the city but the one thing that has stayed in my mind is Ramen Stadium located
