Daniel’s Liked Places

Daniel C.: Possibly the only mainstream bookstore worth heading to. High rents in HK obvs has taken its toll on smaller indie book shops here in this city.

Daniel C.: One stop shop for all your Shanghainese foodie needs.

Daniel C.: Great wines and charcuterie aside, save space for their pain perdu.

Daniel C.: Don't miss out on their fantastic Ramen burger. There's a hidden bar behind too!

Daniel C.: Solid cooking by HK's top chef David Lai w great focus on continental cuisine. Attention to detail and great use of seasonal produce makes every visit an absolute joy. Amazing canelés too.

Daniel C.: Forget about the mainland Chinese infested Apple shop here. Head to the 9th floor for something more cultural, ESLITE BOOKSTORE!

Daniel C.: Lobster linguine. Enough said.

Daniel C.: Nouvelle cuisine in a polished environment.

Daniel C.: Preorder the stuffed suckling pig. Oh, and the wonderful battered beef brisket.

Daniel C.: This opened when Ramsay started to sell out big time. And it shows on the food. Boring and uninspiring.

Daniel C.: Good solid cocktails close to amazing galleries.

Daniel C.: Like lemon? Order the AMAZING tart au citron.

Daniel C.: Great atmosphere. Classic crass service. Don't forget to get the escargots.

Daniel C.: Good cha siu! Order it with rice and fried eggs. Also don't miss out on the retro dish of roasted and honey glazed duck web. Old school cantonese cooking at it's best.

Daniel C.: The only place for decent pizza besides 208.

Daniel C.: They do decent roast pork belly and double boiled cantonese soups. Order the cured pork belly with KaiLan veg with ginger juice come winter.

Daniel C.: Basic Beijing style dumplings. Not bad for a quick casual meal tho service can be slow. Love that they are friendly tho.

Daniel C.: Cantonese Wonton noodles: the granddaddy of them all. Amazing beef tendon and brisket too. Come for a late lunch to avoid crowds and crass service.

Daniel C.: Fantastic Cha Siu aside, there's not too much worth going for.
