Duck of Quanjude

By theskinnybib on February 13, 2011

This is just a ‘sharing’ post and I won’t attempt at reviewing the restaurant. You might probably have heard of Quanjude as THE PLACE for its most seductive, most authentic Peking duck, and if you are a keen traveller to the Far East, you might probably have known that Quanjude has branched out to many …

Hong Kong in 24hr: The Luxuries!

By theskinnybib on February 10, 2011

IN a lifetime there is probably a meal that you really want to splash out, use up all your cash and eat as if there would be no tomorrow. At half past 8pm I was in my taxi, having just finished a brilliant pre-dinner meal at Ming Court, heading to this world’s first 3 Michelin …

Hong Kong in 24hr: Ming Court at The Langham Place Hotel

By theskinnybib on February 8, 2011

So, I had two bowls of snake soup at Sher Wong Yip and a pot of turtle jelly; I bought some stuff at Cat Street Market and browsed the Dried Seafood Market; but, I actually spent most of my afternoon in the taxi. The HK traffic was more horrific than Bangkok, god forbids! Arriving at …

Hong Kong in 24hr: Snake, Turtle and The Cat!

By theskinnybib on February 6, 2011

Right! This is a post not for the faint hearted or for those with snake phobia. Last December I took a very short trip to Hong Kong to get some Christmas gifts and, well, to savour China’s much lauded meat that is much dreaded by the rest of the world. It is .. SNAKES! I …

On The Road To Kyrgyz-Kazakh

By theskinnybib on January 14, 2011

You take a bus to Camberwell Road, to this little “boutique” hotel Pasha, and walk down this red-carpetted, dimly lit, narrow corridor. Keep walking and walking, past a Turskish bath, a steam room and sauna, a cosmetic laser surgery room – I am not kidding – a pool table and lots of photos of pretty …

One “Hip” Bar and Many Others

By theskinnybib on January 9, 2011

Right! This is the round-up of places I’d been in Bangkok before I move on to reviewing the places in London. First up was the Minibar Royale, a very hip, “American diner’s” hangout kinda place for Bangkokian celebrities and socialites, serving up easy Western kinda food in a “hip” kinda way. Nothing too fancy or …
