Dim sum, dinner and dessert: Hong Kong food picks for visitors and favourite family-feel restaurants of a Hyatt interior designer
- Leslie Lui likes treating visitors to the city with great local food and a good time, with the crowded dim sum spot Sun Hing and Tung Po wet market top picks
- She also loves restaurants that have a family factor, such as For Kee, which is ‘filled with family squabbles and lazy cats’

Interior designer Leslie Lui works for the Hyatt hotel group, developing and overseeing projects in the Asia-Pacific region. She spoke to Andrew Sun.
I grew up mostly in Alberta, Canada, surrounded by the prairies and the Rocky Mountains. My parents owned a Chinese restaurant and most of my extended family are involved in F&B too. Maybe that’s why I love restaurants that have a family factor.
Some of my favourites include For Kee (Shop J-K, 200 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan, tel: 2546 8947), a very local, family-run business. Their pork chop rice with vegetables and fried egg is a favourite. Filled with family squabbles and lazy cats, it’s a great part of the neighbourhood.
I also like Pondi (14 Fuk Sau Lane, Sai Ying Pun, tel: 6556 4253), doing French-Indian fusion food with relaxed and personable interactions. It’s a very intimate restaurant with a great playlist.


Posso (12 Kau U Fong, Sheung Wan, tel: 9870 0898) is a new favourite for a great mix of tapas-style dishes. There’s also perfect pasta, the service is down-to-earth friendly, and again, a great playlist.
