For dinner,(various locations including 14/F, The L Place, 139 Queen’s Road Central. Tel: 2338 1788) Chongqing spicy hotpot has a rich, buttery broth packed with chillies, spices and Sichuan numbing peppers . It’s like how they make it in Chongqing.
I also enjoy(68 Stone Nullah Lane, Wan Chai. Tel: 2234 0001) and their unbelievable Wagyu boat noodles, and(7 Gough Street, Central. Tel: 2447 1398) for an incredible tori paitan (thick chicken broth) ramen.
For lunch, I love Sun Kee Cart Noodles (Shop B, V Point, 49 Tang Lung Street, Causeway Bay. Tel: 2573 5438) and their well-marinated ingredients and special home-made chilli paste. Also, I can choose as many items as I want.
I’m Hong Kong born and bred and grew up eating delicious, simple local foods. I was also very lucky, as my mum works as a pui yuet (confinement nurse) and is able to cook a very wide range of nourishing and delicious traditional dishes.

Unlike many Italian restaurants, Testina (3/F, 8 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central. Tel: 2798 0668) serves an extensive menu based on various meats like beef heart, chicken offal pasta, fried honeycomb tripe and veal’s brain. It’s very indulgent and enjoyable.
For a late night snack, I like True Gourmet Taste (163 Belcher’s Street, Kennedy Town. Tel: 2904 9486) for all their deep-fried goodies.
Block 18 Doggie’s Noodle (multiple locations including 27A Ning Po Street, Jordan. Tel: 2153 0369) for their namesake doggie noodle – don’t worry, there are no pooches involved. It refers to the noodles that are shaped like puppy’s tails – and Another munchie spot is(multiple locations including 27A Ning Po Street, Jordan. Tel: 2153 0369) for their namesake doggie noodle – don’t worry, there are no pooches involved. It refers to the noodles that are shaped like puppy’s tails – and with shredded duck.
For visitors, we would have dim sum at Lin Heung Kui (2-3/F, 46-50 Des Voeux Road West, Sheung Wan. Tel: 2156 9328) and Sun Kwai Heung (Shop 17, G/F, Block C, Goldmine Building, 345 Chai Wan Road, Chai Wan. Tel: 2556 1183) for their char siu.
For dinner, Kui Kee Seafood Restaurant (Shop B, G/F, 16 Bowrington Road, Wan Chai. Tel: 2838 8998) is fun. If they like spicy chicken pot, go to As You Like (G/F, Man Wah Building, 2&8 Man Wui Street, Jordan. Tel: 9182 3339).
Rex Wine & Grill (B/F, One Chinachem, 22 Des Voeux Road Central. Tel: 2857 7157). What really sells me on chef I’m a steak lover and my top choice for a splurge is(B/F, One Chinachem, 22 Des Voeux Road Central. Tel: 2857 7157). What really sells me on chef is his incredible renditions of classic and lost British dishes, from steak and kidney pie, crab toast to tripe stew and offal meatballs.
Another option is Carbone (9/F, Lan Kwai Fong Tower, 33 Wyndham Street, Central. Tel: 2593 2593) for the mind-blowing spicy vodka rigatoni, followed by steak Diane and lemon cheesecake, washed down with a brandy crusta from their excellent cocktail bar.
Around the region, I’d fly to Hanoi, in Vietnam, for a cold rice noodle at Bun Cha Dac Kim (67 Duong Thanh Street Old Quarter, Hanoi. Tel: +84 24 3828 7060). I love sitting on the tiny plastic stools next to the street, being shocked and overwhelmed by the smoky meat in a sweet and savoury soup, fresh greens, sharp chillies and garlic.
In Singapore, Bak Kee Teochew Satay Bee Hoon’s (85 Redhill Lane, #01-40 Redhill Food Centre, Singapore) flavourful satay sauce (they call it gravy) is perfect with pig’s liver, pork, squid and thin rice noodles.
Lastly, for 15 baht (40 US cents) in Bangkok, Thailand, you can eat one of life’s most delicious dishes at Toy Kuay Teow Reua (Ratchawithi 18 Alley, Thung Phaya Thai, Ratchathewi, Bangkok 10400, Thailand). I think it’s the best restaurant in Bangkok for boat noodles.
