As a man who has to be in bed far too early, I have become a lunch person. I try to be in bed by 9pm and I'm usually catching up with the day's news for an hour or so before lights out. That leaves lunch, and I'm discovering I'm pretty good at lunching.
I am happy anywhere as long as the service and food are good. Italian and Japanese are at the top of my list. I still like the hole-in-the-wall dining that Hong Kong is famous for, especially dumplings and noodles.
After work, I often go to the (2 Lower Albert Road, tel: 2521 1511) for well-priced, dependable food in a great location. I enjoy the chilli con carne, a club classic, as well as the steamed salmon and silken tofu.
Sometimes I go over to (1/F Mandarin Oriental, 5 Connaught Road, Central, tel: 2825 4009) for overpriced but very good pub grub and (1/F The Fleet Arcade, 1 Lung King Street, Fenwick Pier, Wan Chai, tel: 2511 8912) for excellent Italian. At The Chinnery, I like the steak and kidney pudding, and bangers and mash. Everything is good at Giando, but be sure to ask for the burrata and tomato.
