Barbecued pork to die for, the best black sesame soup – favourite restaurants of an Indian at home in Hong Kong
- You can’t beat Tin Lung Heen at the Ritz-Carlton for char siu, says Sachin Doshi, for whom breakfast at the China Club is also a favourite experience
- He would love to eat another meal at Bennelong at the Sydney Opera House, overlooking ‘the most beautiful harbour in the world’
Sachin Doshi is founder and CEO of Weave Living, which just opened a new accommodation concept called Weave Suites (weave-living.com) in Sai Ying Pun.
I grew up in India and Australia but have lived in Hong Kong for almost 15 years. I am certainly a city person, loving the chaos of a metropolis, but at the same time I enjoy the outdoors and don’t mind chilling at a beach resort.
One city I would love to return to is Tokyo. The food is delightful and it’s such a fascinating city. There is a great little okonomiyaki restaurant near Tokyo Station called Okonomiyaki Kiji (2-7-3 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ky, Tokyo Building, Tokyo, Japan, tel: +81 3 3216 3123) that I would queue up for.
I like Sydney for its laid-back vibes. One of my favourite restaurants there is Bennelong (Sydney Opera House, Bennelong Point, Sydney, Australia, tel: +61 2 9240 8000) at the Opera House, overlooking arguably the most beautiful harbour in the world.
Of course, I want to visit my mum in India whom I haven’t seen for over a year. But now that I consider Hong Kong my home, I really enjoy Cantonese cuisine and am biased towards Chinese desserts. My favourite dim sum is Tin Lung Heen (102/F, The Ritz-Carlton, ICC, 1 Austin Road West, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2263 2270). Their char siu (barbecued pork) is to die for. For dessert there is this hole-in-the-wall place called Fook Yuen (Lei Do Building, 7 Fuk Yuen Street, North Point, tel: 3106 0129) that has the most delicious black sesame soup.
