"In the past I focused on food with intense and heavy flavours. But as I grow older, I appreciate the original and pure taste of ingredients.

I am adventurous and love to try new restaurants. My current preferred dim sum place is the in Harbour City (3/F, Gateway Arcade, 17 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2613 9889). My favourite is the barbecued pork pineapple bun.

Most of the time I dine at fancy restaurants to entertain my business friends and customers. For fine-dining Cantonese, I like (3/F Royal Plaza Hotel, 193 Prince Edward Road West, Mong Kok, tel: 2622 6161). The head chef there used to work for my Yugamama restaurant back in Lee Gardens. His must-eat item is the stir-fried Taiwanese hsinchu rice noodles, but the hotel uses a different noodle so it can't replicate the taste I miss.

My destination for Italian food is ( 2/F Alexandra House, 5-17 Des Voeux Road, Central, tel: 2537 8859), besides in Milan, Italy (Via Bagutta 1, 20121, tel: +39 02 7602 2297), where they have the best pizza. Otto e Mezzo's burrata cheese with arugula and Sicilian tomatoes, along with risotto with fava beans and zucchini, which is not listed on the menu, are my top choices.
