Wan Chai's Uno Mas has been getting a lot of favorable buzz lately. If you haven't stopped by this wonderful tapas restaurant, then it's definitely time to do so. We sit down Uno Mas' Executive Chef David Izquierdo Jover for a tete a tete.On the story behind the name:"We named our restaurant 'Uno Mas' (meaning 'one more' in Spanish) because we offer an extensive and varied food and wine menu, and no matter how many times you come, there's always one more thing to try.On what direction he wants to...

While we've never claimed to be among the city's top fashionistas, your resident Geeks also don't always like to publicly display their geekiness... but yesterday we had a very Bridget Jones moment when we coincidentally found ourselves clad in coordinating Christmas colours. We inspired a certain amount of cheer from folks on the street, although I may be mixing up the words cheer and jeer.Christmas has officially infiltrated geek ca...

The one thing that I cannot do without every year is a live Christmas tree. It's amazing how different I feel when there's the scent of pine in the house. While some may say it's a bit of an extravagance (and I'm not denying it as a 5ft tree costs between HK$700 - HK$1200), it's one of those purchases that is definitely worth it. When I was younger, I had all sorts of small stuffed animals that was given to me at childbirth as decoration for the tree and it's been my biggest regret that my parents...

So they're a little bit old, but does that stop you from swooning over Stella's killer platform ankle boots? Animal-friendly, too. And budget friendly -- they're on sale now at the Outnet. Still not that cheap, but that's the price you pay for fashi...

Simple, elegant, classic. Need I say more? Get it at Hermes stores for HK$123,...

Happy Thanksgiving from your resident Geeks! I know nobody really celebrates this festival out here, but here's a tribute to turkey with Norman Rockwell's Freedom from Want print. And... a canvas/satire I spotted at an art school which will certainly make you go "awwww".Image: artexpertswebsite....

It appears that Google HK peeps are chiefly interested in holistic healing when they type the search string Pamela... followed by Youde Nethersole Hospital. Who knew that we were that interested in touchy-feely medicine?And Google worldwide, of course, lists pamelaanderson.com on top. No surprises there...

Yesterday I wrote about PDAs; today, it's a PSA - public service announcement. I had a boyfriend in college who did some radio DJ-ing, so I know random acronyms like that. It was a college radio station, but I believe he was still mandated to play three or four PSAs per hour, although he (ie we) got to choose which ones. We always chose the random and ironic ones, like James Brown talking about not drinking and driving. We had no visuals, but I could imagine if we had something like this Clean Air Network viral, that would have made it onto the...

There’s nothing us Geeks like more than the festive season. Whether the party is for celebrating the Winter solstice, Christmas, Hanukah, New Year’s or just a gathering of close friends, make sure your makeup is impeccable. We talk to Bobbi Brown about how to achieve that perfect holiday look.Hong Kong Fashion Geek: As the holiday season approaches, what eye and lip colours would you recommend for parties? Bobbi Brown: Got a party to go to? There is nothing like chrome inspired metallic shades to...

I was in the sort-of college town of Savannah, Georgia, to visit an art and design college that has pretty much taken over the downtown community, and it was great to see retailers getting into the spirit of things and employing visual displays designed by students for their shop windows. I stupidly didn't take any photos, but Marc by Marc Jacobs, Urban Outfitters and others all had fabulously creative window displays (because I was there during Halloween, everything was just a little more out there...

If you've forgotten to order your turkey and fixin's, never fear, the Sheraton is here! There are several options for you to pick from, depending on your mood and budget: try the Oyster Bar set dinner, which is HK$728 a head featuring the traditional turkey and punkin pie, as well as fresh oysters and a duo of crab cakes. My family spends every single occasion at the Oyster Bar, and I can tell you, if there are five people at the table, there are usually five orders of crab cakes, they are SO good....

I’m of the opinion that you can never pay enough attention to your skin regime and that the most expensive skincare doesn’t necessarily warrant the best. In the case of La Mer however, it’s worth every penny. But do note that you shouldn’t start using La Mer too early on as it’s really more suited for mature skin and if you start on such premium skincare early on, what will you do in later years? Tangent aside, for the Christmas season, treat your mom to the La Mer Connoisseur Collection and I guarantee...

Nature is suspended in lucite for the creation of this bangle by Sylwia Calus Design on Etsy. Call me weird, but this reminds me of those lollipops you can buy at specialty shops with scorpions caught in the hard candy (by the way, are you supposed to EAT the scorpion when you get to the middle?), or even the fake ice cube with a fly trapped in it -- those gadgets that pranksters use to fool you into thinking you're imbibing bug-infested water. Those knick-knacks are not so genius, but somehow this...

A Rachel Rachel Roy four-way convertible jacket with sleeves and a skirt that zip on and off (surprised this was not invented earlier seeing as side-button sweatpants and shorts-into-pants zipper extensions were discovered long ago). This, however, is simple and genius, no more words necessary. Best part? It's called the TransFOURmer coat. Oh, ShoeGeek loves her wordplay. Get it here.Images: Macys....

It would be superfluous to write about Audrey Hepburn as a style icon; everything there is to say has already been said, and you don't come to HKFG to read that Audrey is stylish, or that Mozart wrote good music, or that Shakespeare had a way with words, or that Pamela Anderson has big boobs. These are things you already know. But I've been in a movie mood lately and I can't seem to locate my copy of Charade, one of my all-time favourite movies (next I'll post on the other of my must-see films,...

How cute are these yummy little creations from kokocandles? They're so realistic, I'd have a seriously hard time convincing myself not to gobble them all up. The only downside is that they display such verisimilitude that there's a high chance my greedy dog would take a big old bite before realizing she's just eating a hunk of wax. Actually, knowing her, she'd probably finish a full set meal of candle wax without even noticing; she just spent the past half hour trying to lick my laptop's USB hu...

Couch cushions in the shape of various foodstuffs, from a full hearty breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast to a fortune cookie that could double as a marriage proposal to a bunch of peas in a pod (I smell an xmas gift for FashionGeek...) And just for good measure, because we're geeks, there's a delightfully geeky trio of Ctrl-Alt-Del cushions as well. I'll forgive the blatant PC-bias the Etsy designer is professing. Get them all at Diffraction Fib...
