So today was a fantastic (and fantastically busy) day, the highlight of which was the fact that someone in the EU decided to name Neapolitan pizza a cultural treasure, so La Pizza was giving away free pizza and beer at their Sanlitun shop. I stopped by in the hopes of a slice of pizza for [...]

大家都知道我是一个比较喜欢LOHAS的人，非常注重养生。但是我也是一个非常喜欢吃东西人，哈哈。我最近有些craving热狗。但是在北京的热狗大部分都不是很地道太甜了。不过最近我特别开心发现在工体东南侧有一个叫 Stadium Dog 的饭馆，他家热狗的味道特别像美国地道的热狗。 网友们有机会的话，你应该过去尝一口。价格也不是很贵20元一个，而且随便你想加什么菜就加什么菜，健康又美味。 As you may have already noticed, I am a big foodie and perhaps due in part to the MLB’s “Day at the Ballpark” event a couple weeks ago, one of my recent obsessions has been a quality hot dog. I’m not sure if its just the sauerkraut that’s got me [...]

A brief trip to Hong Kong to be a supportive partner to my 007 was full of ups and downs, though rough boat trip aside, mostly ups. Once the boys went out for the first day of the Sevens, Ann and I decided to treat ourselves to a proper lunch at the café at Harvey [...]

Last night was a truly superb ChocoJing event, definitely one of our best yet. Thanks to the wonderful chefs and wait staff at Cafe Europa, we ate a fantastic meal of salad and pasta, leaving only just enough room for the Christmas Yule Log cake provided by Awfully Chocolate. Both beautiful and delicious. However, like [...]

Dear ChocoJingers, To celebrate the holidays with style, ChocoJing is organizing an event in collaboration with Cafe Europa and Awfully Chocolate. There will be a three course meal served, salad, pasta and of course, a fantastically chocolate dessert. The christmas log cake tradition is a fun and wacky reminder of the origins of the holiday [...]

Hello-Hello Fellow ChocoJingers! For those of you who couldn’t make it, we had a *fantastic* event on Monday night. It was so fantastic, in fact, that I’m going to try to organize another one before the end of the month (suggestions are welcome!) And, for your viewing pleasure, check out the random/wacky video I put [...]

I had a *great* time at the ChocoJing event last night, soooo much chocolate, so little time. A group of fellow chocolate addicts made the event even better, the mantra of the night was “Chocolate first, dinner second” And wow, I would never have thought to try some of those flavors of hot chocolate that [...]

The other day, on my way to visit my 干妈 (Chinese mother) at the hospital where she was recovering from knee surgery, I stopped off at a flower shop to get some pink lilies and fruit. After spending what now upon reflection seems far too much time bargaining over the price of aforementioned lilies, I [...]

As I had previously mentioned in my post, 和才果肉果汁饮料：He Cai Juice Commercial Shoot, I spent a day filming a wacky but fun commercial for a Hebei-based juice company (oddly enough, the English translation of the company name is “Cat King” which just made me giggle as this is the same as the Chinese name for [...]
