Life in Singapore and Hong Kong | Noodles in HK, approved by Anthony Bourdain |
Photo Note : The cat is the box above is not me. I repeat, it's really not me nor my cat. Please stop sending me letters threatening to report to SPCA for overfeeding and animal cruelty;p Cat is Maomao, his whacked owner is from Shandong, China and extremely proud of his obese cat. Maomao is my alter-ego since I love to take catnaps and eat
Living in Hong Kong
Yes, I'm living in Hong Kong now, in a country that is host to a whole bunch of delicious eats. And a springboard to wierder eats in China. A dream come true, some might say. Well, in a way but I can't go stuffing my face in char siew buns, wanton noodles everyday! I try and cook as much as possible and once in a while, feast outside with my friends. I write down most of my adventures, recipes and recommendations over here.
www.cooksandcarnivore.com
As they say, the best food recommendations ultimately come from someone who is living in that country. So check it out. |
Who am I? An Introduction: I'm someone who eat, breathe and live for running, photography and travelling. And I use whatever time is left over to write on my VT page. The stuff that you read on my page is raw, orginal and full of expletives. I don't believe in selling a destination, if I think the place is crap, I'll say it's crap. If you need to read something more polite, I suggest that you refer to your friendly guide book . Just for the record, I'm a Singaporean and I'm not a HKer/Japanese/Korean. As my VT friends would attest, a 3-year-old speaks better Cantonese than me. |
| With Hubby in HK, Central |
Homelife You're welcome to write to me but do note that there is nothing I find more laughable than a "I want to get to know you better" email. Bpacker is happily married to another adrenaline junkie who did his first marathon at 15. Both of us dig nature hikes, touring on bikes, running and fermented brews from Belgium . We think that the best food on earth is served in a Straits Chinese home kitchen . Yes, both of us are Straits Chinese and hubby's lineage is as jumbled as mine (Chinese/Malay/Dutch) . We speak a special language (Peranankan) that is dying out as fast as the rhinos in this region. |
Travel Life My travels have always been food/photography/bird-centric. I'm now working on my overdue Chiang Mai page. I was there earlier this year to photograph the elusive Giant Nuthatch and the delicious street food. As like always, I will attach recipes to my food blogs. Here's a recipe for a quick Chiang Mai Street Snack:
Soak Strawberries in Apple Cider Vinegar+ Sugar Syrup(Sugar+Water). Steep for one hour at least in the fridge. Scoop contents in cup and Enjoy!
Our next trip: An exploratory trip to KunMing, Lijiang, Shangri-La |
