Sushi celeb plans HK eatery

It's a big week for the InterContinental Hong Kong. This week it unveiled a spanking new 7,000 sqft, two-level Presidential Suite (2,000 of which is for a fab outdoor terrace with a horizon pool and jacuzzi), which goes for US$10,000 a night - oh, plus 10 per cent.

At the preview event, PR director Carole Klein also let slip another big-ticket item coming to the location.

It seems that Japanese celeb sushi chef Nobu Matsuhisa, of the Nobu chain popular in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo, will be at the InterContinental today.

The reason?

He is officially signing on to open one of his Nobu restaurants at the hotel.
