Bombay Dreams – Best Indian Lunch Buffet In Hong Kong
Indian cuisine is probably not on many tourists’ Must Try List in Hong Kong. With so many mouth watering options for great dim sum, wanton noodles, roasted meat joints and desserts, I would not have visited Bombay Dreams if not for Shinichi strong recommendation. Having spent a significant period of time in India, he claims that […]

Disappointing Lunch @ Ao Nang, Krabi
After settling down at Ao Nang Princeville Resort, we wandered off onto the main shopping streets of Ao Nang in search of lunch.

Peranakan ‘Fast Food’ at Toa Payoh

I stayed at Inn Saladeang and great food is just a stone throw away at Baan Restaurant! Before we serve the dishes, here’s the simple introduction to Thai food.
