For my latest restaurant review for CITY WEEKEND MAGAZINE, I wrote about the newly opened Italian-American Pronto. Here’s what I had to say: With so many Italian eateries in town, Pronto tries hard to stand on its own as Italian-American. We (read full article)
A few months back, I wrote a post on the single greatest gift to kitchenware junkies from Shanghai – the city’s Hotel Equipment Centre. Check my post out here. Well, last week, I was able to meet the people who help make that place run. (read full article)
Yes, I know – Dairy Queen is probably not on anyone’s list of hidden gems, but there is something about the American chain here that I find interesting. Like most American fast food eateries that have made their way across the Pacific, Dairy Qu (read full article)
