Legal professional Karies Lam is a foodie, a blogger at Instafoodhunter on Instagram, and her family founded a chain of Chinese restaurants. She spoke to Andrew Sun.
I grew up feasting on the delicious food my father’s restaurants served, and indulged in delicious home-cooked meals prepared by my grandmother. Under my father’s guidance, I learned to appreciate and evaluate food at a professional level.
My exposure broadened over the years as our family travelled around the world. You will find me seeking out local street foods one day and enjoying Michelin-starred fine dining the next.
If I have to pinpoint the city’s best roast goose, Yat Lok (34-38 Stanley Street, Central, tel: 2524 3882) would be it. They have the perfect amount of skin char, crispy texture and juicy meat. I recommend enjoying the goose with lai fun noodles, as the soup is incredibly delicious.
There is nowhere better for spicy chicken pot than Supreme Restaurant (16/F, Chong Hing Square, 593-601 Nathan Road, Mong Kok, tel: 2148 2628). The sauce is very flavourful and the chicken juicy.
