No Splurting at Asian Legend

Asian LegendThere's an art to eating Asian Legend's steamed soup filled juicy pork dumplings. You need to pick them up just right, and cross your fingers that neither the juice nor the heat creates some serious mouth damage.

Is Soban More Than So-So?

Soban RestaurantUpdate: Thanks to a reader tip I have confirmed that since my visit two weeks ago the restaurant has changed its name to Witches Table.

Soban Witches Table may be the sort of cutesy place in the mold of cafes found all over East Asia, but does its lengthy menu of noodles, sushi, and other rice dishes put it a cut above the typical Japanese-Korean restaurant in the city?

Solferino Playing Valentino

Solferino
There are those who love regular ice cream, and others who swear by the Italian style milk ice. The latter set lovers will be pleased to know that Solferino is making special Valentine's Day flavours.

Chocolate and fruit can shine with intensity, so what of the more intriguing and sensuous sounding specials like Romantic Rose Petal?
