I like to discover new places, new experiences. I worked in Michelin star restaurants for more than 15 years and this made me really interested and curious. I’m ready to try anything, but there needs to be a story behind it and good ingredients sourced. And I think there should be a nice match with the food, the design, the plates, the decoration and atmosphere.

One of my best experiences was in Bo Innovatio n (Shop 8, 1/F The Podium, J Senses, 60 Johnston Road, Wan Chai, tel: 2850 8371). I have been wanting to go there as I was really interested in trying local dishes in a contemporary and crazy way. I got absolutely everything I expected from food, service and decoration. I could feel the chef’s personality and emotions. But three Michelin stars come with high prices so it’s not possible to go there often.
