Flavours as high as bond yields or "distressed" taste buds? - Peripherals food, Hong Kong style


I do apologise for the lame title – to avoid confusion, this is a review for the Spanish Tapas restaurant I had the pleasure of dining at in Hong Kong. I would like to say that the flavours that I got to savour made my taste buds rally higher and higher, a bit like Spanish bond yields over the past two years. Although, some dishes did put my tastebuds into distress. The finance analogies shall end here – read on for more about the food.

Sophistication and Elegance - Shanghai Style


Before I start, the title is not only to describe one of my best friend’s from exchange Solveig who was a joint reviewer on my foray into Mr and Mrs. Bund. The title is to describe the restaurant itself, a fine dining establishment specialising in late-night dining, located in the heart of Asia’s new preeminent financial hub.
