Where a Korean chef and Jamie Oliver fan likes to eat in Hong Kong
- Jamie’s Italian is the obvious choice, but when Davin Kim is feeling homesick there’s a Korean restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui he loves to visit
- An adventurous eater, this gourmet will always try new things for inspiration
Davin Kim was born in Korea and moved to Hong Kong in 2015 to be chef at Cobo House (8-12 South Lane, Shek Tong Tsui, tel: 2656 3088), where he combines his Korean roots with years of Western culinary training.
My dining preference is that I usually look for something I have never tried before. I think it is very important for a chef to always try new things for inspiration.
But there are some restaurants I go to regularly. In my personal time, I would say I like light foods.
Since moving to Hong Kong, one of my favourite places is Jamie’s Italian (2/F, Soundwill Plaza 2 – Midtown, 1-29 Tang Lung Street, Causeway Bay, tel: 3958 2222). Jamie Oliver is my role model and favourite chef.
His restaurant here does a great job of delivering healthy and delicious Italian cuisine. The ingredients used are fresh and light so that is why I like it.
Tsuta (two locations including V Point, 18 Tang Lung Street, Causeway Bay, tel: 3188 2639) is a Japanese ramen shop that has been honoured with one Michelin star in Japan, and I think they really deserve it.
