HONG KONG'S poets, artists and film types have found a new place to hang out - Steps on Aberdeen Street, between Staunton Street and Caine Road.
The tiny wine bar, which opens up this part of town for the first time, focuses heavily on red wines, avant-garde decor and arty conversation to the sounds of international jazz greats.
Best of the bottles are the French Corbieres and the Portuguese Espiga from Estremadura.
Steps is owned by Lau Kin-wai, local art curator and critic, columnist and general gourmand about town. Tel: 2858-6555.
Lunch on the run Lunch on the run rarely comes this easy, compact or cheap.
A new ready-to-eat snack pack by the American Bumble Bee brand comes complete with a 78g tin of tuna salad, six crackers and a tiny plastic spoon.
The tin has a ring-pull for easy access, and the 280-calorie experience costs less than $20. The tuna salad includes carrots, celery, water chestnuts, onion and mayonnaise. It will not win any culinary awards, but for convenience, the idea is unbeatable.
