Din Tai Fung Taipei - 2024 update - Tiny Urban Kitchen
There's no shortage of Din Tai Fung articles on this blog (Taipei original Sydney London Hong Kong Orange County Bellevue Arcadia Shanghai Beijing). Still, I thought it would be a good idea to give a brief update of our experience dining at Din Tai Fung in Taipei in 2024. First, the original Xinyi location is...
Qin Yuan Chun 沁園春Taichung Taiwan - Tiny Urban Kitchen
After the pandemic, I finally made my way out to Taiwan the summer of 2023. It was a special family reunion, with my Mom and sister's family flying out from the US meeting up with our relatives in Taiwan whom we hadn't seen for years. My uncle in Taichung knew I was a foodie so...
Street Food on Old Kunming Street 老昆明街 - Tiny Urban Kitchen
At night, we went to Old Kunming Street 老昆明街 to walk around. There are TONS of fun things to try here. We had already enjoyed a lovely dinner at 福照楼汽锅鸡·云南菜 Fuzhao Lou Steam Pot Chicken, so we didn't have room to each as much as we would have liked. Still, we prioritized coming to a...

Hello Bilbao! We'll begin a new series covering my trip to Bilbao, Spain in September 2023. During that time, Bryan had a weeklong conference in this beautiful city. Even though I had technically been here before (yes, we flew in just to rent a car to drive straight to San Sebastian), this was essentially my...
A Weekend in Chaozhou China - Day 2 - Tiny Urban Kitchen
Breakfast: Chaozhou-style Rice Rolls (Changfen 腸粉) Day two! We got up bright and early because we wanted to catch a traditional Chaozhou breakfast before heading out for the day. We stopped by a traditional breakfast stand close to the Ancient Bridge to eat Chaozhou style rice rolls! It’s fascinating to watch them make the rice...
Revisiting Xiamen + Xiamen Street Food Crawl - Tiny Urban Kitchen
Time flies. It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since we serendipitously “found” Bryan’s ancestral home in an urban village in Xiamen. A LOT has happened in between. In fact, the reason we went back out to Xiamen again this time was to see Bryan’s granduncle. Granduncle Carl used to go back to Xiamen...
Golden Poppy Paris by Dominique Crenn - Tiny Urban Kitchen
Imagine this: a California restaurant in Paris, started by a three-Michelin-star French female chef renowned for her eponymous establishment in the US. That’s right, Dominique Crenn has returned to her native France and launched her first more casual dining venue in the heart of Paris: Golden Poppy. What’s interesting is that this restaurant showcases Californian...
