My heart is rooted in traditional Cantonese cuisine, made by Mum. My food horizon expanded while studying in the UK, where I increased my appreciation for French and Italian food and wine.

A favourite is Aroma Wine Bistro (Shop 206-210, Lee Garden Three, 1 Sunning Rd, Causeway Bay. Tel: 9591 6838). It is a must-go place if you are a wine lover.

It offers a wide selection from around the globe and has a massive burgundy collection at affordable prices. It also has a good range of wines by the glass, including champagnes and sparkling wines served by our Coravin preservation system.
