I woke up to a little surprised today. A friend informed me that there was a write-up about my blog in the South China Morning Post. I didn't know anything about it, so I ran down to buy a copy of the paper. Sure enough, there was a little blurb in the Sunday Magazine.
Susan is a friend and has been following my blog after stumbling upon it some time back. She decided to tell her readers about it, but forgot to give me a heads up... Well, I thanked her for the spotlight she put on the blog.

| Peechy keen Susan Jung Some food blogs make you want to get into the kitchen and cook, others make you want to go out and eat. Diary of a Growing Boy (chi-he-wan-le.blogspot.com) is firmly in the second category - and best of all, 'Peech' blogs primarily from Hong Kong, so we're not salivating about restaurants in cities we haven't yet visited. His postings are prolific and detailed: not just a few lines but paragraph after paragraph of his analysis about dishes he's tasted. Most of the former banker's posts (he's now a headhunter) are about high-end restaurants and he writes with enthusiasm and knowledge about Asian and western cuisines. He's also passionate about wine: many of his meals are organised by members of a wine club he belongs to and are tailored to complement the wines. Peech is well-travelled: he often goes to Taipei (where he was born) as well as the United States, Europe and both familiar and 'off the beaten path' parts of Asia (including Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan). |
