Tucked away on a quiet road in Mid-Levels is Tea Saloon by Another Fine Day, a quaint and luxurious tea room in purple and pink pastel tones, complete with Victorian-style furnishings, chandeliers and framed paintings on the walls (think Parisien tea rooms such as Ladurée). This inconspicuous tea parlour is a venture by three Hong Kong girls with a passion for afternoon teas. Their first venture, Another Fine Day, is a smaller establishment a few streets down which resembles a cosy Victorian living room. The secluded location of this haunt makes it a wonderful oasis in the city centre of Hong Kong. The service was slow but friendly, and there was a good selection of food and beverages on the afternoon tea menu. Even though the food was mediocre, the decor of this tea room is thoughtful and cosy. I also adore its relatively inconspicuous location, which offers some privacy. I hope the kitchen can improve over time, so that I can come back here with the girls for another afternoon tea session! 評分: 味道 2 環境 5 服務 3 衛生 4 抵食 3

When my friends from Canada were visiting Hong Kong and asked me to take them somewhere for authentic dim sums, instead of taking them to Lin Heung Kui, a hot tourist spot renowned for their old school dim sums and tea house experience, I decided to take them to Sun Hing Restaurant, a neighbourhood Cantonese restaurant in Sai Wan which is much less internationally famous than Lin Heung Kui. Sun Hing Restaurant serves simple, scrumptious dim sums, and their steamed custard buns are regarded by many to be the best in Hong Kong. Their unusual opening hours, from 3am-4pm everyday, makes it a popular haunt for late-night snacks, particularly amongst the students of nearby University of Hong Kong. There is no reservation policy at this down-to-earth eatery, so be prepared for a rather chaotic scene. I personally recommend coming at odd hours so that you can have a more relaxing experience. Freshly made dim sums are constantly brought out from the kitchen. The staff here don't speak much English, but they are very friendly, and if all else fails, just point at what you want to order! The prices are incredibly budget-friendly, and our dim sum feast only came to around $50 per person. 評分: 味道 4 環境 1 服務 2 衛生 3 抵食 4

Opened by chef Justin Chan, the brains behind the organic food restaurant Locofama, Naked Gurume Gyarari (which means Naked "gourmet gallery") is a rookie on Elgin Street that serves healthy Japanese tapas. A stark black and white stairway leads to the new restaurant, which is divided into a gallery/private dining room on the left, and a main dining area on the right. The decor is stylish and effortlessly chic, with glass display shelves, dark wood flooring and an open kitchen countertop completing a contemporary, minimalistic set-up. Service is eager and polite, but a tad pushy with their recommendations. 評分: 味道 3 環境 4 服務 3 衛生 3 抵食 2

Previously located on 15 Hollywood Road (hence the name) and now relocated to Lan Kwai Fong, Mesa 15 is a Michelin one-starred restaurant which offers modern Spanish cuisine in a sleek and stylish environment. The restaurant's old location is taken up by its sister restaurant Numero 15, an upbeat and casual tapas bar. The decor of Mesa 15 is bright and serene, with marble countertops, a semi-open kitchen and wooden chairs and shelves imbuing the space with a homely and subtly luxurious vibe. Tables are set comfortably far apart, and the service was attentive and graceful. We came on a Saturday for lunch and each of us ordered a three-course set lunch priced at $200. 評分: 味道 3 環境 4 服務 4 衛生 4 抵食 3

Every now and then a new burger joint pops up, and newly opened Beef & Liberty is certainly causing a stir amongst Hong Kong's carnivores. Located directly above Pizza Express in a shiny new building on Wing Fung Street, this restaurant is a vibrant, lively haunt with floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek wooden tables and an industrial chic set up. The restaurant's name pays homage to The Sublime Society of Beefsteaks in eighteenth century London, which was a gathering place for London’s intelligentsia to celebrate the consumption of beef and steak, and the society’s members oath of which ended with “...so beef and liberty be my reward”. The restaurant has a compact but appetising menu, comprising mainly of comfort foods to tantalise diners. The kitchen serves hormone-free grass-fed beef from Tasmania, which is stated to be lean and high in Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E, and freshly grinds the beef twice a day before lunch and dinner. (1) We decided to start drinking early, and "The Dude" ($78), made with kahlua, vodka and vanilla ice cream, was exactly the spiked milk shake that I was craving! It was lovely and creamy, but I wished it was a tad more alcoholic. 評分: 味道 4 環境 5 服務 3 衛生 4 抵食 4
