Cuisine: Asian/Western Fusion
Where: Sheung Wan
My faves: Seared Tuna Salad (lunch). For dinner: Avocado Fries, Salted-Egg-Yolk Squid, Hainan Chicken Rice.
Note: The restaurant is disguised as a stamp shop and you need to push the stamp closest to the entrance to open the door in the evening. Also, I worked here part time for a few months at the beginning of this year, which I loved, so I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for it. They do some really great, unique cocktails so if you don’t fancy food, pop by for a drink!

My faves: Sweet shrimp sashimi and spicy clams.
