The favourite Hong Kong restaurants of Pieter Fitz-Dreyer
The head chef of Flint Grill & Bar at the JW Marriott lists Ho Lee Fook, Aberdeen Street Social and Kau Kee among his preferred Hong Kong dining establishments
I’m an adventurous foodie and love travelling and trying local cuisines especially at food markets. I was brought up on traditional British foods from my mum’s side and South African influences from my dad’s. We would be the only people in the neighbourhood barbecuing in the rain.
If I eat out I head to Frites (1/F The Wellington, 198 Wellington Street, Central, tel: 2217 6671) for the steak tartare. It’s very good and I can wash it down with a Belgian beer.
Ho Lee Fook (1 Elgin Street, Central, tel: 2810 0860) for the cabbage and pork dumplings, plus you can’t but help smile when you walk in and see the Maneki-neko image on the wall.
For a meat fix I head to Morty’s Delicatessen (LG/F Jardine House, 1 Connaught Place, Central, tel: 3665 0900). I love the Reuben sandwich – generous stacks of smoked meats with pickles. Love the meat sweats.
