Sushi Shikon

Images from 3 Michelin starred Sushi Shikon, the Hong Kongese branch of Sushi Yoshitake in Tokyo. Although the recreation of the original “Ginza sushi experience” will always remain a “recreation”, the quality of the products ( which are flown daily from Japan) and the skills of the chefs were definitely…

Kaiseki in the sky at Tenkun Ryugin

Tenkun Ryugin is the spin-off of the famous 3 Michelin starred Ryugin in Tokyo (read about it here). Usually I don’t expect much from restaurant branches (especially when the main chef is not even there), but Ryugin Hong Kong was as phenomenal as the original restaurant. Plus, the view from…

The spectacular open kitchen at Caprice (3*) French restaurant in Hong Kong. Those restaurants who are able to put their hands on a 4-year-old Comté cheese have my instant admiration! ( It’s on the very right of the cheese tray..)

The China Club

“Ah, that foreigners’ place”, – was my Hong Kongese friend’s reaction when I told her I booked at the China Club for our dinner. Even if this private restaurant/club has a very exclusive reputation, you don’t feel very much exclusive when you are at the place. If you are staying…

Alvin Leung of Bo Innovation in Hong Kong is so passionate about what he is doing he could speak for hours about one or another product or a preparation method. Maybe he is known for his bold statements, but what speaks most loudly is his creative yet delicious food and…

My lunch at Tim Ho Wan ( 8 Kwong Wa street, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong) was 44 Hong Kong dollars, the return trip from the Central Hong Kong – more than 200 HKD. (1 euro is 10.8 HKD today). Of course, I could have used the public transportation, but…
