Universally Disappointing

Universal Restaurant has been on my list for a while, having heard about and salivating over the famed “gaytime goes nuts” dessert. And I was excited when, as a belated birthday gift, invited to Universal Restaurant in Darlinghurst. However, the title of this review reflects my experience.

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.
