Terrence Tang is the head of wine and spirits for Asia at auction house Bonhams. He spoke to Andrew Sun.

When I was growing up my family frequently dined out and we had a particular fondness for Chinese cuisine. We would go for dim sum every week, as well as explore new restaurants.

Now, I seek out diverse flavours, from spicy Sichuan hotpot to delicate Japanese sushi, often pairing them with a glass of burgundy or champagne to elevate the experience. Whether it is street food or fine dining, I am always chasing the next unforgettable bite.

On weekends, I enjoy going to Farm Restaurant (Shop S401A, Lakeside 2, 10 Science Park West Avenue, Phase 2, Hong Kong Science Park, Pak Shek Kok, Sha Tin. WhatsApp: 6011 6196) for dim sum with family. I can even bring my shiba there. Their cute dim sum and pet-friendly outdoor seating create a very relaxing atmosphere.

For a refined experience, La Fleur Too (1/F, Johnston Building, 14-16 Johnston Road, Wan Chai. Tel: 2893 5891) is a small French restaurant that I love for lunch and dinner, particularly for its exquisite smoked baby eel salad.

For late-night comfort, Mak Man Kee (51 Parkes Street, Jordan. Tel: 2736 5561) and Bamboo Village (265-267 Temple Street, Jordan. Tel: 2730 5484) are unbeatable, serving soul-warming bowls of noodles that hit all the right spots, especially after long hours during auction season.
