Sometimes, the best food isn’t about expensive ingredients or beautiful interiors.

It’s about the heart of the person who makes it.

Last week, I stumbled upon this lovely little Japanese eatery. The cosy atmosphere made me feel as if I’d stepped into one of Japan’s quiet side streets. Every bite of the katsu curry was simple, comforting and full of care.

What made me smile even more was finding a small collection of cookbooks on the shelf, inviting customers to browse while waiting for their food. It’s these thoughtful little touches that make a place truly special. @509ramen

I’m so grateful to have such a charming neighbourhood spot nearby, and I’ll definitely be back.

A little spicy surprise at the end. 😋

seaweed mentaiko tamagoyaki @smoked_tamago

The first bite was all about the silky egg and delicate aroma of seaweed. Soft, comforting, and beautifully balanced.

Just when I thought the story had ended, the mentaiko quietly made its appearance — bringing a gentle burst of umami and a hint of spice.

It didn’t steal the spotlight from the egg.

Instead, it completed the whole experience.

Simple ingredients often reveal the most skill.

No wonder this tamagoyaki was crowned Scotland’s Street Food Champion 2025 🏆

Even my Japanese friend approved. 😋

Some dishes don’t need to be complicated.

So proud of you, Hongkonger😊

They just need to do the simple things exceptionally well.

George Michael taught me the importance of being true to yourself and listening to your own heart.

Growing up in Hong Kong, while many children around me were listening to Cantopop, an eight-year-old girl was already humming Careless Whisper. I would spend my pocket money on cassette tapes and read the lyric sheets over and over again, looking up words in the dictionary. My dream was simple: one day, I wanted to meet him.

Decades later, that little girl is now living in the UK. Life has taken me further than I could ever have imagined, yet sadly I never got the chance to meet him.

Perhaps that is George Michael’s greatest legacy for me. His music crossed cultures, languages and generations, and accompanied me through different chapters of my life. He showed me that following your own path is not always the easiest choice, but it is the most honest one. #georgemichael #lastchristmas #tonightthemusicseemssoloud
