Favourite Hong Kong restaurants of Bossini heiress Queenie Rosita Law
Law likes casual dining spots near her design studio in Western, is eager to try new places such as Cobo House and Samsen and, having grown up ‘eating sushi every other day’, likes the adventurous Japanese fare at Toritama
I am fond of places either with a casual, laid-back atmosphere or that can stimulate my creative vibe. I like coffee shops. Near my design studio, Production Q, is Brew Bros Coffee (Shop F2, LG/F, 33 Hillier Street, Sheung Wan, tel: 2572 0238). It is managed by a couple, and it’s my coffee refuelling station before I head back to my office. The husband knows exactly what I like and sometimes, if I don’t have enough cash, he just lets me pay on my next visit. This kind of neighbourhood bonding and trust is what I grew to love throughout my time in England and France.
I am drawn to the spacious interior of Teakha Kitchen (18 Po Tuck Street, Western District, tel: 3956 9009). This charming cafe has a soothing vibe, ideal for sipping a cup of tea at 11.30am and chilling out on the weekends.

The interior of Samsen in Wan Chai.
I am curious about the hottest food fads, and every so often I try up-and-coming dining spots. I saw the pictures of Artisan Room (8-12 South Lane, Shek Tong Tsui, tel: 2656 3198) on social media when it first opened and it instantly grabbed my attention. I went on a sunny day, had a coffee and ham sandwich, sitting in the alfresco area, reminiscing my years of living abroad, totally submerged in the moment. Then came a dinner invitation at its sister restaurant Cobo House by 2am:dessertbar (8-12 South Lane, Sai Wan, tel: 2656 3088) where I sampled a unique tasting menu while simultaneously finding a good spot for my art-focused pop-up store. My favourite dish at Cobo House is scallop somen.

The wagyu beef boat noodles at Samsen – highly recommended by Queenie Rosita Law.
I am a pasta and noodles girl, so naturally Samsen (68 Stone Nullah Lane, Wan Chai, tel: 2234 0001) is on my radar. The decor echoes the chef’s concept: unpretentious, earthy, not uptight. Soup noodles are my top picks. They taste like the ones I have eaten in Thailand. Go for the signature boat noodles with wagyu beef and beef balls. Best to complement it with the authentic Thai ice tea.
