A Culinary City Guide to Hong Kong
Whether you are looking for traditional Chinese staples or a bar with a view to round up your dinner, the fascinating special administrative zone Hong Kong has no lack of places to go. Director Culinary Excellence Asia Pacific Fritz Gross will lead you on a stroll through the mecca of Chinese cuisine.
Breakfast
For a rural experience, I would go to Choi Lung Restaurant. They use locally grown seasonal products. I kind of like the idea of having food that is grown within just a few miles of the area. If you are looking for more of a VIP treatment, Fook Lam Moon is the way to go. The Maxim’s outlets serve great Dim Sum, too.
Choi Lung: 2 Chuen Lung Estate, Route Twisk Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong
Fook Lam Moon: 35-45 Johnston Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong

Afternoon Tea
The lobby of the Peninsula Hotel is a must and should be on everyone’s bucket list. Enjoy a great afternoon tea here to the tune of a live orchestra.

Open air
For a great open-air spot, WooloooMooloo Bar is where I quite often go. They have a full bar, great drinks and quality wines by the glass. To top it all off, it also has a fabulous city view.
