Where a German chef in Hong Kong eats ‘no-nonsense’ Cantonese, Southeast Asian and French
Peter Find of Heimat shares his Hong Kong picks for beef brisket noodles, clay pot rice, reinvented classic French cuisine, and more
Peter Find is the chef-owner of Heimat, a German restaurant in Hong Kong where he redefines the cuisine of his homeland. He spoke to Andrew Sun.
I grew up in a very small German countryside village of 800 people. We gardened, picked fruit and made jam. We ate big portions of potatoes, pork, cold cuts and rice pudding with apple compote. That was my treat as a kid.
As a European, I like beef to be softer, with a rich and clean stock, and not so herbal. My preference is Chung’s Dai Pai Dong (57 Shau Kei Wan Main Street East, Shau Kei Wan. Tel: 2567 7122). I can eat the beef in the morning, at lunch or at 10 in the evening.
