My two pennies
Taste of Chuan and Yue opened late in 2019 and specializes primarily in Sichuan and Cantonese (Guangdong) cuisines, a fairly common combination in the city as of late. As far as the Sichuan dishes are concerned, they're pretty up to standard and would qualify as a fine dining version of an otherwise very down-to-earth cuisine.… Continue reading Sichuan: Not too hot or greasy (7.0)
Buenos Aires Polo Club just has Central's best catering team. I dare say that. I came here without any prior information and was pleasantly intrigued by the interior and its ambiance which was cozy and privy enough to justify its name as a Club (despite it not being one, strictly speaking, just to be clear). Walls were… Continue reading LKF’s most warmly catered Steakhouse (8.9)
The moment I stepped in fond memories of dining at TRI about five, six years ago were back (I was certain Poem and TRI were related once I saw Poem's cutlery set—which remained the same!). 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)
NOPI is a relatively recent addition to Yotam Ottolenghi's collection of restaurants in London. I first knew the name Ottolenghi through adapting one of his recipes that I thought was full of vibrancy and creativity, a refreshing break from boring old techniques and flavors.

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)
Lee Tung Avenue has become one of our favorite after dark hang-outs lately thanks to its ostensible likeness to our former home in London's Covent Garden (forgetting about the omnipresent national flags for now). As one strolls along the main pavement it's difficult to miss an artsy restaurant-bar as conspicuous as DJAPA, showcasing its colorful… Continue reading Artsy Restaurant-Bar (7.8)
Another of El Grande's restaurants, the brand which runs Grappa's, this time tugged quietly beneath Elgin Street. A stony stairway starting from street level leads you down to their open dining area and you are forced to make the decision between sitting in Hong Kong's warm and humid weather and the freezing indoor seating area.… Continue reading Mo Bros: Great Casual Italian-American (8.0)
