I was a chef when I moved to Hong Kong years ago. Whether it’s a simple noodles, dumplings or steak, I like unpretentious food cooked to perfection.

Our five best new Hong Kong restaurants of 2017 ... so far

In Tsuen Wan, I like Ramen Taifu (Po Shing Mansion, 81 Tai Ho Road, tel: 2419 7717), a small restaurant with bar seating, serving the most delicious ramen. It’s close to my work, with comforting big portions.

Yue Kee Restaurant (9 Sham Hong Road, Sham Tseng, tel: 2491 0105) has the best roast goose. This is where I bring visitors, as it’s very close to the Bay Bridge. The restaurant has been around for years.

It is very local and usually we are the only foreigners there. You can also bring your own wine, with no corkage fee.

Scarlett Cafe (2 Austin Avenue, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 3565 6513) is a trendy wine bar with delicious dishes and a fine selection of affordable French wines and cocktails. Hidden on a quaint street, the unique European concept makes it ideal for a spontaneous dinner or weekend brunch.
