If you haven&#8217;t made it to Island East Markets, check out the little video* I shot on the last day of their trial period, on October 21st, to get a little feeling of what it&#8217;s about. &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.

		<description><![CDATA[So, today I&#8217;m going to finally blog about one of my absolute favourite places to eat in Hong Kong. It&#8217;s a tiny, modest place in an apartment complex located in the east side of Hong Kong (in fact, it&#8217;s situated in increasingly trendy Chai Wan, or at least very near), that has managed to evade [...]]]></description>

This time around, it had been well over five years since I was last in the city; hazy memories of Shilin night market, of coral-coloured sunsets at Danshui and way too many cups of fragrant green milk tea [...]]]></description>

I remember seeing these little round cakes on the bar, next to the banana bread and then-named Hummingbird cakes*, and I asked after them out of curiousity. Friands. They&#8217;re little almond meal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In what was formerly known as the most dangerous city in the world, I encountered not drugs and violence, but zen followers, reinvented slums and party-hard Paisas. Nearly two decades since Colombia’s drug nightmare reached its climax, Medellín is still struggling to shake off its dark reputation. The twist is that the city – Colombia’s second-most populated after capital Bogotá – could have been a travel agent’s dream. Its oft-forgotten merits include year-round spring weather and remarkable botany; wondrous colonial architecture; a thriving fashion trade and the unmistakeable warmth of its people.]]></description>

Being slaughtered at 20 days, gutted, stuffed with fragrant rice, slowly roasted and then disembodied for the delight of some rather greedy food lovers may not be how it imagined to go. But dear Pepe* the pig, you [...]]]></description>
