One’s Last Meal
Just realised that I haven’t written a SINGLE POST for around 2 months, due to many many reasons. Firstly, World Cup 2010 took 1/2 my liver away and there goes days whereby you lost count in what day & time it is & you start losing touch with reality as your mind is all filled [...]
All You Can Eat Brunch at WHISK
For those that know me, I have never been a huge fan of Hotel Champagne Brunches or Buffets as the food is often dull & boring, with majority of the places offering the same type of food & format. The truth is, I never expect a true gastronomical experience from hotel brunches just simply because you know there [...]

Could this Possibly Be The Best Pan Fried Bun?
Very ambitious title this is, the best Pan Fried Xiao Long Bao in the World? Long have we lived in a very shallow city of Hong Kong whereby we believe that Crystal Jade & Din Tai Fung are amongst some of the best dumplings we have had – not saying they aren’t great but there [...]

Post 1 – FUK 1039
Our final day & night in Shanghai was the equivalent of commiting a calorie suicie, 3 meals within the space of 12 hours consisting of very high calorie, cholesterol food. Within such short period of time, we visited FUK 1039 (福 1039 上海), Ah Lang Mein (阿娘面) Xiao Yang Pan Fried Dumpling (小杨生煎馆), with the first an upscale [...]
SH!OK SINGAPORE KITCHEN + BAR
Now back to Gastronommy’s Hong Kong Noms Series! As a reminder, the Hong Kong Noms Series focuses on specific Gastronommy favorite dishes rather than the entire menu at particular restaurants. My preference for a specific dish may not reflect my impression of the rest of the menu. Also, my chosen numerical order of listing is [...]
Highlights of Pigging in Shanghai (Part 2)
Day 2 of Shanghai was full of smiles & happiness as it was complete feasting on delectable Shanghainese Cuisine & with a sprang of surprise which was Japanese Cuisine in the Xin Tian Di area, a remotely more hip & Western area filled with restaurants & bars. The happiness was due to the fact that our [...]

Recently, I have recieved some rather constructive feedback regarding the length of content in Geoff’s Twitchen therefore I will do very best to keep this nice, short & precise. Some of you may know that I recently visited Shanghai (not for the Expo) but for my pre-wedding photography which was fun, cold, wet but above [...]
