dr numbers asked a question under the earlier entry on Restaurant Week that I thought was well worth addressing in a separate post. I’ll give you my thoughts off the top of my head, but I hope you’ll weigh in as well: Just for the record, I wanna know what is an “acceptable” price reduction for restaurant week.

Do you think Restaurant Week is still a bargain?
Participating in New York’s bi-annual Restaurant Week is always a crapshoot. Some restaurants perform a total botch job, shuttling diners through three courses of chicken and salmon as quickly as humanly possible while others put in a real effort, offering their best service and menus to tempt new clientele to return

One morning I woke up at 4 and didn’t have anything better to do, so I got down one of my Julia Child cookbooks and made boeuf bourguignon . We had it for dinner that night and it was fabulous, so we had the leftovers the next night and it was even more fabulous

Awhile back when I asked for reviews of restaurants you felt the Sun had neglected , it didn’t occur to me that someone would submit a post about a private eating club. It reminds me of early on in my career when I was told to do a series of reviews of Baltimore’s private clubs.

I haven’t heard anything about local restaurants doing something special for the Chinese New Year, which coincides this year with Valentine’s Day. I can tell you that Zhongshan Restaurant , which Other Reviewer Richard reviewed, now offers a Chinese hot pot, the Asian fondue-like dish with stock, meats, seafood dumplings and vegetables. I’m not sure if this is the only restaurant in the area that has it or not

This is more or less one of the most delicious little snacks you could ever hope to make. It takes some time but the effort can yield a very bountiful result. One aside, when it comes to naming this little crunchy delight. Suppli, as hey are called in Rome, typically contain red sauce and mozzarella

salad at Relais de Venise I’d heard from two different steak-loving friends that Le Relais de Venise was worth a visit, but with so many places to eat in London, and the fact that Le Relais is a bit of a chain (starting in Paris, it now has two locations in London and one in New York), I never got around to eating there. Last Saturday, though, I was meeting a friend who craved steak, and as Hawksmoor was closed for refurbishment and Goodman was disappointing when I ate there , I figured it was time to try out Le Relais. The New York Times ’s Sam Sifton, after all, had taken the time to give the New York location a full review , so the place had to be more than an imported tourist trap.

Hiring a personal chef is not restricted to the cream of the crop, the elite, the moneyed, and celebrities. As many personal chefs can validate, even us common folk down in the trenches can avail of such services because of the convenience, the necessitiy, and the prestige with having a professional chef cook for you for a change. And Valentine’s is fast approaching

Advertorial Canon Powershot S90 Camera I have been using the Powershot S90 for the last two months and I have to tell you that I have not been so thrilled by a compact camera since my Canon Powershot G1 which was my very first digital camera years ago. For DSLR users like myself, compact cameras just don’t deliver images that are up to par, especially one that is compact enough to fit into your shirt pocket. But when I shot my first few photos with the S90, that all changed.

There are some invitations that however high-minded or ethically sensitive you consider yourself as a blogger, you do not turn down. A multiple steak tasting at Hawksmoor, a Brindisa ham carving school and any number of lavish Bibendum sponsored wine events certainly qualify for an immediate “yes”, and have subsequently turned out to be every bit as fun as they promised

Being British, and brought up in Liverpool, my cultural reference points for what people have recently taken to calling “Street Food” consisted of the burger van outside the local multiplex and the guy selling roast chestnuts on Church Street. And in case you were wondering, neither of these things are exactly the kind of “concept” you could “roll out” to the discerning patrons of Soho – not before pub chucking out time anyway.

A Night of Shanghai Cuisine 上海菜 Shanghai Hairy Crab Mao Xie上海毛蟹 October / November is the peak season for enjoying Shanghai Hairy Crab (Mao Xie上海毛蟹). During our class trip to Shanghai, my friend Kevin and I organized special ‘classic’ dinner for our classmates not in the Xin Tian Di district, but instead where the locals go for great food – Shanghai’s Huang He Lu restaurant row.

interior of Dragon Castle Chinese restaurant in Elephant & Castle A month ago, Jon and I went to see the highly-entertaining (popular, even) Pop Life exhibit at the Tate Modern , and afterwards, we somehow reasoned that because Elephant & Castle was so “close by,” we should try out Dragon Castle for dinner, which TimeOut loved . So we hopped on the Northern Line at London Bridge and emerged two stops later at Elephant & Castle station, which sounds so wondrous on the map, but in fact is rather gritty. Navigating the hulking roundabout just outside the station makes Old Street roundabout look like a picturesque jaunt through the countryside
