métro.boulot.resto
the metro extension to Laval is opening this weekend, both ahead or behind of schedule and over- (la presse) or under-budget (the gazette), depending on how you look at it. [here’s the STM press release with info on activities related to the opening.] according to la presse, the opening of these three stations (Montmorency, de la Concorde, and Cartier) will … Read More
some HK food shots
small congee shop near the uni, just down the first set of stairs on centre street. Fish & thousand-year-old-egg congee + 炸两 for HK$19. Pretty good dim sum place in the basement of the shun tak centre (sheung wan MTR). in this pic are pork ribs, char siu buns, and very yummy 流沙包–a friend of mine likes to call them … Read More
quaker chicken mushroom oatmeal
not as good as I expected (or hoped?)–though maybe I should have opted for the “anchovies flavor”. better to get congee at a restaurant…
大平伙
went to a fabulous restaurant last night on (49) hollywood road, near lan kwai fong. it’s a sichuan-style restaurant called 大平伙, run by a painter. his wife does the cooking.

caffè italia
classic little place on st-laurent in little italy, south of supermarché milano. full of old italians (although some young ones sitting at the counter) just shooting the shit on a sunday afternoon. tv in the back showing sports. good & simple cold cut sandwiches on ciabatta. and definitely definitely have to go back for the espresso. (this place reminded me … Read More
food in taipei
whether on the street or at a market, the best part of any city is the FOOD. these are all from taipei, but will be adding more photographs later.
restaurant jolee
after playing badminton, ran into K in the metro. was getting quite late so we just grabbed some hoppers and this über spicy shredded coconut thing (which strangely looked exactly like the dried shredded pork you can get at chinese grocery stores) at restaurant jolee on victoria. couldn’t really go wrong at $3.50 for food that will last both of … Read More
