Hey ya. Been following the site and taking in all the amazing food suggestions you unveil.
My name is Jordan, and American living in Tokyo but I am visiting Hong Kong for five days later this month (18-23). This will be my fourth time in HK, one of my favorite cities in the world. Maybe this is too ambitious of a thought, but I think it’d be dope to share a meal with you, if you’re free. Very inspired by how your foodie mind works and your appreciation for it all. I just think it’d be chill.
Anyhow, thought to just send a link to my facebook page so as you didn’t think I was just some random unknown person. Let me know what you think.

My wife watched “Getaway” episode and told me about you, very funny video with Aziz. We just wondering if you know the name of the Japanese restaurant which Aziz went? We will back to HK at the end year, so I need to start planning my food adventure trip again, lol.

Your Taipei and HK info is really helpful for planning my upcoming trip, if you guys come back to Los Angeles I would love to show you a few spots I think are worth exploring and probably only known to locals as a way to return the favor!
Thank you so much for creating this blog. I work as an airline pilot and so I’m always looking for good stuff to eat on layovers but don’t always have the luxury of a lot of time. The Food Cray is the first thing I open when I land. Canadian living in the USA
That’s awesome, what routes do you usually fly? I can ask some friends about some good spots (that we may not have covered) if it’s helpful.
Hello guys! I recently found your blog and the articles are really awesome! I am going to be travelling to Singapore and Bali in a few days but don’t really know which places to visit to eat. Since I can’t really afford to spend that much on a meal ( I am still a student ) I was wondering if you had any tips on where to go. Just one or two suggestions would be really great and help me out on my trip over there!
Hey Jason! Check out the Singapore and Bali sections of the blog! Off the top of my head, check out the Hawker Centers in Singapore. Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice in Maxwell Center is a must. Hock Lam is also cheap and delicious. As for Bali, get Babi Guling from Ibu Oka in Ubud!
Love the insta and your blog! I’m hoping you guys may hit more major cities in the US like DC (or Houston etc…) for this new year! I also super enjoy your recipes and recipe collaborations. <3
Thanks for the kind words Mabel! We spend a lot of time in La and NYC, but we’ll definitely try to hit up some other US cities =)
So glad I stumbled upon your blog!
Love the reviews and your Insta feed Nicole 😀
Hi Nicole
Thanks so much for this blog! I was on exchange in Hong Kong one year back and I used your guide for food. I discovered so many treasures in Hong Kong because of your blog. I am so thankfully.
Now my Girlfriend is studying in Korea and I am going to visit her. Do you have any recommendation for Seoul or the surroundings?
If you ever come to Denmark I can show you around in Copenhagen or Aarhus (Aarhus is going to be Culture capital of Europe in 2017) and show you the best gastronomic places around!
Hey Soren!
Glad you found the blog helpful! Here are some recommendations in for Seoul! I’ll definitely hit you up if I make it over to Denmark 🙂
