The best wonton noodle soup in Hong Kong and where to take visitors for roasted goose and ‘amazing’ bistro food
- Mak’s Noodle serves the city’s best wonton noodle soup, says Carlyle & Co’s Jonathan Frolich, and he always orders too many skewers when he goes to Yardbird
- The Legacy House is where the managing director of the private members club would take visitors, and there’s an Australian market he can’t wait to visit again
Previously a vice-president of the Hyatt Group’s Andaz brand of hotels, Australian Jonathan Frolich is now the managing director of Carlyle & Co, the private members club in Victoria Dockside launched by Rosewood Hotel’s CEO Sonia Cheng Chi-man. He spoke to Andrew Sun.
I love food, it’s that simple. I’m always looking to try new things and cooking is a favourite hobby as it brings people together. For me, food experiences are more social than scientific.
Another favourite is Arcane (3/F, 18 On Lan Street, Central. Tel: 2728 0178) and its sister restaurant, Cornerstone (49 Hollywood Road, SoHo). Their wagyu steak sandwich, grilled Australian octopus and handmade spaghetti are great. It’s quality food, there’s always a bit of a buzz about it and it’s unpretentious.
