VEA: Franco Chinese Parade (8.8)

VEA is definitely a fitting place to take someone to on special occasions because its sense of ritual and the theater of its service are all top tier even for a city like Hong Kong where dinner bills upwards of $2000 per head are not so uncommon. Before coming to this place I had a… Continue reading VEA: Franco Chinese Parade (8.8)

秘魯料理:看似簡單的菜餚也可以很回味 (8.7)

民以食為天,香港人很幸福,我們的香港在料理和餐飲管理方面的造詣與全球最發達的大城市比肩而立,但在外面吃飯多了,偶爾會覺得一般餐廳無非來來去去幾味菜,幾種調味,再到高級餐廳品嚐來頭不得了的各種動物和食材,無論日本菜還是法國菜,沒有太精緻,只有更精緻,廚師的創意日新月異,有時反而會懷念...

Walls were… Continue reading LKF’s most warmly catered Steakhouse (8.9)

During those days The Pulse in Repulse Bay was still relatively empty with few restaurants to pick from, and when we… Continue reading TRI’s successor, still so aesthetically pleasing (7.0)

Boutique Sichuanese with Canton twist (7.5)

Some people prefer authenticity over fusion and others prefer to go to restaurants that specialize in one particular regional cuisine. Here at 1935 the kitchen meddles with Sichuan flavours, uses wagyu and honey to… Continue reading Boutique Sichuanese with Canton twist (7.5)

Mandarin Grill, an all-time classic (9.0)

With both local and international F&B conglomerates blossoming and renowned chefs flocking to the city, it is becoming increasingly difficult to discern the excellent from the commercialized when selecting one's next dining destination. The ease with which companies are able to pay internet celebrities and "foodies" to write stuff online adds to the woes. While… Continue reading Mandarin Grill, an all-time classic (9.0)
