a little bit about travel, a little bit about food, a lot of everything in between; as seen, tasted and experienced by different points of view..
We came upon Teriyaki boy late in the afternoon after buying the things we needed at the mall. Luckily at 4pm, there was no one inside save for a couple in one of the two who were just about to leave after their meal. We took our seats at one of the round booths there, and were busy appraising the menu given to us by the waitress.
Our first Hong Kong dine-out was with a new found friend of ours that came from Vigan, a place back in the Philippines. As we were strolling along the busy streets of Hong Kong looking for dimsum, we came upon this small restaurant oyster cakechicken …
Triple V-Saisaki is by far, the best casual Japanese restaurant I’ve tasted in my life. This restaurant lets you sample several seafood and meat products the way it should be, Japanese style.

Ric’s Barbecue is your typical hang-out place when you’re working at IT park especially after work, during weekends, or after a grueling overtime. Anyway, this place is located just within The Walk, an area of dining and drinking restaurants with ample parking spaces in one space of land.

They have a built in smoke vent which routs any smoke directly out of the place. I could see the food being cooked at the kitchen, given the transparent glass on the side.
The food was ok, but most of their servings are small. Not that I’m complaining, but for groups of three or more, prepare to burn money.
