Favourite Hong Kong restaurants of Maggie Wong, director/partner of WTF (Worth the Fuss) Bar
Healthy eater Wong counts Vea, Kong Chai Kee, Lung King Heen, Sevva and Eat To Live among her favourite places in the city
I usually try to eat healthy. Most of the time, I just have complex carbs such as brown rice, wholewheat bread and pasta, but once in a while I treat myself to soup noodles. That’s my comfort food.
I’ve also been trying to cut back on beef, but it’s so tough. I’m doing it for the health, carbon footprint, and fresh water consumption aspects.
One of my favourite restaurants in town is Vea (30/F The Wellington, 198 Wellington Street, Central, tel: 2711 8639). They have some extremely creative dishes and every bite is a surprise. The presentation is incredible and the cocktail pairing menu is great.
Another place I love is Carbone (9/F, 33 Wyndham Street, Lan Kwai Fong, tel: 2593 2593). The cuisine there reminds me of New York Italian food. My favourite dishes are the spicy rigatoni vodka and chicken Massimo.
For noodles, I go to Kong Chai Kee, 2 Canal Road East, Causeway Bay, tel: 2893 5617) because I love their wonton and chilli sauce. The ingredients are fresh with the most aromatic soup
