Antioxidants neutralise free radicals that cause heart diseases and certain cancers. Tomatoes, garlic and salmon are foods with antioxidants (though not containing the highest amount according to research).

Do you know the food that are known as high-antioxidant foods?

Normally I share photos of my own cooking here. But this time, I would like to share the food from a friend’s restaurant. Hanakaido is a chill place good for a few friends who would like good wine and tasty food. Price-performance is great there, so don’t miss it when you are looking for a quiet spot at the busy buzzing Causeway Bay!
