Korean Girls Love Dancing at Pizza Hut
Why eat your slice of pizza when it arrives at the table, when you can dance with it instead? I think it’s time the U.S. started rethinking their commercials because I’m positive Pizza Hut sales are up in Korea after they aired this on KTV!
Friendly’s Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt
The battle to win a greater share of the “obesity” demographic is heating up. After KFC scored big with the Double Down, a sandwich that uses two chicken breasts rather than a bun, Friendly’s is now entering the fray. The chain has debuted its Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt, which it describes this way: “This is the

There’s a new late night food craze sweeping the Los Angeles area, and it comes in the form of a taco truck. I’m not talking about the Mexican taco trucks we’ve all come to love, but a Korean BBQ taco truck! Mark Manguera who has worked for a number of prestigious 5 star hotels in
Dim Sum in Hong Kong is Amazingly Good and Cheap
Hong Kong is the king when it comes to dim sum. I live in San Francisco where there are some great good dim sum places, but they seriously can’t hold a candle to the master chefs here in Hong Kong. Everything is just tastier, fresher, and higher in quality. I don’t know what they put
In Search of Roast Goose in Mongkok, Kowloon
I’ve made it a point to find myself a plate of roast goose in Hong Kong. Last time I was here, I had no idea there was such a thing. I’ve eaten my fair share of fabulous roast duck (especially since I literally grew up in a Chinese restaurant), but I’ve never had roast goose.
Tonkatsu Ramen in Shibuya, Tokyo
Ramen shops in Tokyo are a beautiful thing. Huge bowls of yummy tonkatsu (my fav) and miso ramen (tam’s fav) for 600 yen or roughly 7 U.S. dollars. What more could a guy ask for? The lovely thing about it all is that you order and pay straight at ticket vending machine. No need to

I wanted to start a new post category this year dedicated to sharing our life here at Kineda. Hopefully, it’ll give you a peek at the places we love to shop, how we play and most importantly… what we eat! First off is one of our all time favorites — shabu-shabu. We found a nice

Give Your Mom Edible Arrangements
With Mother’s Day coming up, Sunday, May 13th, I have thought of a fantastic gift to give your moms! Some moms love flowers, and some just think flowers are a waste of money and will die shortly after. Well, why don’t you get her an edible arrangement? That beautiful arrangement of edible flowers that are
Taming the Hottest Pepper on Earth
I love a little spice in my food, but when it gets too hot, I go running for a tall glass of milk. Why not water you ask? Because milk coats your mouth with a protein called casein that helps keeps your nerve receptors from going up into flames. Casein is a lipophilic (fat-loving) substance

Is Vitamin Water Better Than Regular Water?
Vitamin waters have been all the rage the past couple of years, but if it’s vitamins that you’re looking for, you might look elsewhere. An average bottle of vitamin water is packed with over 100 calories, and loaded with serious amounts of sugar for flavoring. It’s almost as bad as drinking soda, and surely won’t
Best Seafood Dishes are in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Although, I’ve only been there twice, it’s one of my favorite travel destinations. If you’re a seafood lover like I am, there’s no other place in the world that can top the dishes created by Hong Kong’s master chefs. Make it a point
Taking Salad to Work Couldn’t be Easier!
I’ve always had a hard time taking salad to work and keeping it crisp by the time lunch comes around. Carrying a small container just for a few spoonfuls of salad dressing is a chore. Have no fear though, The Container Store has created the brilliant Salad Blaster that features a reservoir in the lid
Top Ramen Noodles – College Cooking 101
With the way we all ate ramen during college, you’d think that instant ramen was an instant hit at the markets. The fact is, when it was first introduced in Japan, it was considered a luxury item(imagine that) considering that it costs six times more than homemade noodles in Japanese grocery stores.
