Discover Buenos Aires’ Chinatown
Every big city around the world has its own Chinatown, so needless to say is that Buenos Aires has one too. It is located in a small corner of the beautiful barrio de Belgrano.
Chinatown starts at the intersection of calle Arribeños and avenida Juramento (map) and runs for a few blocks along calle Arribeños. Walking around this small area is almost like leaving Argentina, although you can still find flashes of the local culture.
For example, you can walk by a bakery window and see empanadas...

Peking food at the American Restaurant
The American Restaurant in Wanchai (map) has been a long-standing traditional restaurant that many locals and tourists dine at for the best food in the city. Don’t be discouraged by its name, American Restaurant opened post-World War II and is famed for its authentic Pekingese food.
As the years pass, American Restaurant is one of the rare places in Hong Kong that still remains unchanged and going strong. It is probably the only restaurant in Hong Kong that my whole family, from my grandparents...

Happy eating at Honolulu’s Happy Day
... while Honolulu may boast dozens of dimsum restaurants, only a handful are actually legitimately good weekend Chinese fare.
I grew up on homecooked chinese food, so I know good cuisine when I see it, and Happy Day has been my Chinese restaurant of choice this past year — even surpassing the popular Little Village in downtown and Legends in the Chinese Cultural Center.
What makes Happy Day such a great Chinese restaurant is its seafoood. Whatever salty topping they add to their crab and lobster...

Bargain shopping at Temple Street night market
One of my favourite places to take visitors in Hong Kong is the night market or Men’s Street on Kowloon side. It runs along Temple Street (map), which stretches over Yau Ma Tei (map) and Jordan (map) and is the best place in Hong Kong to find Chinese souvenirs, cheap gadgets, and designer knock-offs, ethnic clothes and decors, as well as have some amazing seafood amidst the chaotic market atmosphere. I prefer bringing guests to this night market as opposed to the one in Mongkok, which is often...

Buffet V
Life isn’t easy if you’re a vegetarian. Just too many restaurants have a single vegetarian option, or offer an unimaginative array of single-veg dishes.
Buffet V is different. It’s a Chinese buffet with a difference – all the dishes are vegetarian. Soya ‘duck’ and ‘chicken’ are available, but you can also find spiced aubergines, spring rolls, wonderful greens. It even smells great when you’re walking down the road – which is what attracted me in the first place.
And...
