Where a wine lover in Hong Kong enjoys Chinese food, fusion fine dining and drinks
Frankie Law, a wine brand ambassador, shares his go-to places for French-Japanese fine dining and tea cafe fare, and a haven for wine lovers
Frankie Law is an account manager and brand ambassador for Penfolds Wine in Hong Kong and Macau. He spoke to Andrew Sun.
Born and raised in Hong Kong, I grew up in a fusion food culture. I deeply appreciate local Chinese food, and also love a variety of Western, Japanese and Korean cuisine.
But cha chaan teng restaurants are among my favourites. They offer a wide range of dishes that perfectly embody Hong Kong’s blend of East-meets-West styles.
As a fan of both French and Japanese cuisines, I’m delighted by Arbor (25/F, H Queen’s, 80 Queen’s Road Central. Tel: 3185 8388) for fine dining.
The dining room’s signature pink decor creates a unique ambience, making it a great spot for a memorable dinner. Their minimalist menu also adds an element of surprise.
As a wine enthusiast, I like to create my own fantastic wine dinners. Ciu Wui Gun (Shop B, 62-64 Fuk Lo Tsun Road, Kowloon City. Tel: 3705 1398) is a BYO (bring your own wine) restaurant that offers authentic Chiu Chow cuisine like marinated raw crab and shrimp, pig’s blood curd, oyster omelette and marinated goose dishes with soy sauce.
