As the first year of Fly&Dine draws to a close, I’ll be looking back on the stories that turned Fly&Dine from a tiny blog into a growing monolith (and major hub of hyperbole). With only two weeks left in 2014, let’s take a look at the most popular story in Fly&Dine history: 7 Rules for…

$100 Business Class Seats on Cathay Pacific Next Tuesday!
When was the last time you snagged a premium seat for $100? I’m pretty sure the answer is never. If you’ve got a hankering for Hong Kong (and based on my recent trip there, you should!), this is the deal of the century. Next Tuesday, August 26th at 8am (they didn’t list the time zone),…
This is a photo of an Egg Waffle.
You thought my Hong Kong coverage was over? NO WAY, SON. This is a Hong Kong flashback Fly&Dine-style. That photo up there? It’s an egg waffle (aka eggette or gai daan jai) at Lee Keung Kee. I had no idea what Lee Keung Kee was, but when I was trekking back and forth to that…
7 Rules for Buying Cheap Custom Suits While Traveling
This doesn’t exactly fall under the food-focus of Fly&Dine, but as a public service I thought it would be worthwhile to share my experience of buying bespoke clothing on my recent trip to Hong Kong. In September, I traveled to Thailand for one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. I zoomed around the country…
Hong Kong Trip Wrap-Up
Happy Easter Sunday to those celebrating! Have you had a good week? I have. Now that the bulk of my Hong Kong stories are done and posted (one more coming this week and then we’re totally done), I thought it would be a good idea to do a little wrap-up of all the stories I…
Fly&Dine Flight Food Review: Cathay Pacific Business Class Hong Kong to LA
On my return flight from Hong Kong (HKG) to Los Angeles (LAX), Cathay Pacific provided me with a seat in Business Class. That was mighty kind of you, Cathay, and the seat was much appreciated. While other blogs may cover the seats (fully lie-flat!) or the entertainment options (plenty of great movies!), we here at…
Fly&Dine Lounge Review: Cathay Pacific at HKG
When it comes to Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), Cathay Pacific pretty much rules the roost. How else to explain the fact that they operate five different lounges at HKG? FIVE! That’s a tremendous amount and during my recent trip back from HKG -> LAX, I had just enough time to stop in at two…
Fly&Dine Hotel Brunch Review: Harbourside in Hong Kong
The closest most of us will ever get to a royal feast is the mighty hotel brunch. On Sundays across the globe, hotels set up massive displays of epicurean excess and all you have to do to partake is open your wallet. In Hong Kong, Sunday brunching is almost a required activity. In fact, it’s…
Hong Kong Foodie Photo Tour: The Last Four Days
I just returned from my once-in-a-lifetime trip to Hong Kong where I devoured so much top quality food that the scale in my room at the InterContinental taught me the Cantonese word for “fat.” It was all worth it, though. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading my posts from the trip so far (click each word…
Fly&Dine Lounge Review: InterContinental Hong Kong
“Imagine this as your living room while you’re here.†That’s the direction I was given when I first laid eyes on the Club InterContinental overlooking Victoria Harbour (yes, I’m spelling it the British way. When in Rome Hong Kong…). After a few visits, I started getting angry that my actual living room wasn’t nearly as…
Hong Kong Foodie Photo Tour: The First Four Days
I’m in Hong Kong for a little over a week and I’m hunting down the best food this city has to offer. I’m already four days in and have been lucky enough to enjoy spectacular meals at Michelin-starred restaurants (Pierre, Lung King Heen, Caprice, Spoon by Alain Ducasse) and local favorites (Yat Lok, Crystal Jade…
Room Service Review: The Four Seasons Hong Kong
On the grand scale of things that I love, room service breakfast is nestled right between free premium channel preview weekends (“Why yes, Showtime, I WILL binge watch Californication this weekend. Thank you very much.”) and pictures of puppies sleeping upside down (they look like they’re sleep-flying!). That is to say, I LOVE me some…
Off to Hong Kong!
While I figure Fly&Dine is still too new to have truly regular visitors, anyone who’s stopped by in the last week may have noticed that I wasn’t able to post. That’s because of two very lame words: emergency surgery. Now that my kidney stone (his name was Elliott) has made an early departure, I can…
