Life as a foodie can be tough sometimes. You live in a city full of amazing restaurants, on a tight student budget (even worse as I’m a coffee shop addict and I need a cup of coffee everyday) and then the tourism board decides to throw a huge event with the restaurateurs for 11 days. […]
I came across Cafe Replika while I was doing a cafes research on Yelp in early September and I fell in love with it upon my first visit! This Turkish cafe is located in the Plateau and owned by a lovely couple called Ceren and Ozan. The concept behind the coffee shop is to serve […]
One of the best things about Taipei is their abundant breakfast places. Traditional Taiwanese breakfast usually include a bowl of soy milk and all sorts of chinese pastries. 阜杭豆漿 is a very popular breakfast spot for locals and it’s known for their homemade clay oven rolls. The rolls get sold out fast so my friends […]
I just got back from my 6-day Taipei trip and I can’t describe my love for this city in words. This is my third time in Taipei and it was already 8 years ago since I last visited. I’m amazed by their great quality yet affordable food and the possibilities are endless here: the night […]
Holly Brown LKF reopened yesterday with a new spirit installed in store! My friend Scottie Callaghan is the Coffee Ambassador of Holly Brown and he just came back from Holland with this handmade delicacy. He spent two days training with the coffee machine maker and the spirit was at the LKF store for a test […]

I have to admit, I have a really bad habit of skipping breakfast when I live in Montreal. Now that I’m back to Hong Kong for summer, my mum is making sure that I get all the energy I need to start off the day. The french toast is topped with fried pumpkin slices and […]
Being known as a huge foodie among my friends, I guess it’s not surprising that I still went out for a Dishcrawl event just the day before my first final exam! I was invited by the Dishcrawl ambassador, Jenny, to take some photos for the event – Taste of Mont Royal. What I love about […]
My friends and I went to Imadake for a quick dinner sesh last week and we had some sake bombs (and our DJ friend from Korea, Inkyo, had a rainbow bomb) so I could calm my nerves down for an internship interview later on that night. As sake bomb marathons usually happen during the […]
You know you go to cafes too much when people start calling you “coffee shop girl”! Going to cafes is one of my favourite things to do in Montreal and there are tons of cafes in the McGill neighborhood. Pikolo Expresso Bar is my favourite among all of them. Their pastries, latte and london […]
