Unusual Hong Kong Hot Pots
If you’re familiar with hot pots – the idea of cooking your own meat morsels and vegetables at the table in a boiling hot broth, then perhaps take it to the next level with a few of these unusual variations in Hong Kong.
How about the egg white with salmon stock which starts your meal with a foaming layer of egg white?

Or perhaps try out some crocodile meat instead of beef? Tastes just like pork apparently.

Tape with Easy-to-find End
This ingenious design would be a god send in many a household without a (tape) dispenser. Designed by Deockeun An, Jaehyung Kim and Cheolwoong Seo, the tape allows the end to be stuck with a convenient gap underneath for easier use later on.

Hong Kong Public Buses – The Best Ones for Sight-Seeing
CNNGo recommends a number of public bus routes in Hong Kong that are great for a spot of sight seeing. They include 64k, which runs to and from my “home town” of Tai Po and in my opinion, is pretty good at taking you away from the hustle of Kowloon and Hong Kong island.

Best Italian Restaurant outside Italy is in Hong Kong
It should be no surprise that Hong Kong can boast to be a city of eastern culinary delights, but Italian? The 2012 Michelin Guide names Hong Kong’s 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo Bombana as the first Italian restaurant outside of Italy to receive its renowned three-star rating.

The homecooking-as-fine-dining restaurant is headed by chef Umberto Bombana, aka King of Truffles, formerly of the renowned Toscana at the old Ritz-Carlton. See here for more about white truffle auctions held at the restaurant each year.

In other news, Tokyo receives the most Michelin stars in the world for the fifth consecutive year. But if you want to stick with Hong Kong stars, keep it affordable and check out the cheapest Michelin-starred dim sum in the world.

Sushi Chef & Octo Samurai Characters by Huck Gee
One of our favourite figure designers, Huck Gee, created the following pieces for a private collector. Combining food and martial arts, the figures depict a sushi chef and a octopus Samurai. The tentacle basket implies a victory for the sushi chef. We wish we could commission excellent pieces like this!

Best Dim Sum in Yokohama, Japan
Dim sum may perhaps be one of the side attractions in the land of sushi but Japan‘s Yokohama Chinatown, near Tokyo, should not be missed if you love these little pieces of heart. It doesn’t just do fantastic food (as expected) as we found out when we visited, but the place is also one of the largest Chinatowns in the world!

If you do happen to visit, CNNGo has a lovely guide to finding the best dim sum in Yokohama…
