Another place my father and I randomly ventured into was Very Good Seafood Restaurant, located in the basement of 90 Nathan Road in TST, a restaurant accessible only by a very narrow and barely conspicuous staircase above which clings an even less conspicuous sign. The name of the place begins with “very good.” We were…
This place is truly a godsend, a perfect opportunity to get away from the Western World in the middle of the work day and pop into a Japanese ramen-ya to feel a little bit local for an hour. Conveniently located on Wo On Ln in Central, a 5 minute walk from the bustling brand-clad Queen’s Road,…
The Sheung Wan Cooked Food Centre is a truly menacing and shadowy looking thang towering over the entire Sheung Wan neighborhood and one which I have passed every single day on my way home from work, yet have never entered. I honestly don’t know why, especially because I loved the North Point dai pai dong I…
I was invited last Thursday to a wine tasting (their first one!) at DiVino Patio, the newest addition to the DiVino Group, located in Causaway Center, Wanchai. The place is like walking into an enoteca wine-bar in Italy – (mostly) Italian wines line the center wall, echoing the name of the place, while sexy hanging…
On the third floor of the IFC in Hong Kong there is a fantastic little place where the wine lovers of the city unite for a truly unique experience. It’s called Amo Eno. On the left, a wine shop with bottles suspended elegantly in beautifully lit cases. On the right, a large communal long-table with…
After a very long day at the office last week I decided to treat myself to some snacks and a glass of wine with a friend. We were in a tapas-y, small plates mood, looking for a place with a casual, cool, open atmosphere where we would be able to relax and chat and feel…
I love when a place that I randomly chance in on turns out to be one of the most famed and cherished gems of a city. This happened recently with Yung Kee restaurant, located at 32 Wellington, just a few steps away from my office. I was brought here because it was the closest place…
FINDS (FinnishIcelandicNorwegianDanishSwedish) is a really cool Scandinavian restaurant, located in the Luxe Manor Hotel in the TST neighborhood of Kowloon. The place represents a juxtaposition of traditional, though reinvented, Nordic cuisine (the brainchild of award-winning Finish chef Jaakko Sorsa) with innovative, molecular mixology, within a sleek, comfortable setting. It also happens to be the only Nordic…
How to end an already perfect day of tanning on the beach, racing starfish found in the water, jumping off of cliffs and then showering under a waterfall? By grabbing a delicious bite of seafood at Chuen Kee, located on Sai Kung’s “seafood street” near the pier. The storefront of the place is dominated by…
A beautiful, sunny day in Hong Kong. Before setting off on our 40-minute hike to one of the most beautiful waterfalls and beaches I’d ever seen, we popped into this Hong Kong style bakery, called the Golden Chariot Cake Shop, in Sai Kung for some snacks to munch on at the beach. The array of…
