I’m rather picky about my diet. I actually like to invite my friends to my art studio in Wong Chuk Hang and cook a special meal for them. I like cooking and the ingredients I choose have to be healthy and tasty. It’s all about interesting combinations that are good and match well together.

One of the restaurants that I like is Dim Sum Library (Shop 124, 1/F Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Admiralty, tel: 3643 0088), which has lots of vegetarian choices for dim sum, and has a good vibe.

Zuma (Shop 501-503, 5/F The Landmark, 15 Queen’s Road Central, Central, tel: 3657 6388) and their Japanese izakaya styling is very elegant and the food tasty. The prime location is also perfect for a relaxing lunch in Central.

If you’re spending a day at Shek O beach, enjoy some Mediterranean-style cuisine and the incredible view at Cococabana (Shek O Beach Building, Shek O Beach, tel: 2812 2226). It is a slice of a dreamy Sunday in Hong Kong for me.
