She spoke to Andrew Sun. My parents ran a cha chaan teng in Hong Kong for many years called Golden Horse Cafe, so I grew up in a very grass-roots food-related world. However, since my dad loves cooking, he always prepared meals for us when he was free. I remember my favourite dish was his sweet and sour chicken. Now, I love all kinds of foods. I love a dim sum lunch, and my favourite places are... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/food-drink/article/3345245/dim-sum-brunch-sinful-treat-where-food-lover-eats-hong-kong-and-abroad?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/food-drink/article/3345245/dim-sum-brunch-sinful-treat-where-food-lover-eats-hong-kong-and-abroad?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 04 Mar 2026 04:45:07 +0000 Andrew Sun Andrew Sun Hong Kong native Keith Yam Ka-lok is the executive chef of Tuber Umberto Bombana and Cannubi at K11 Musea in Tsim Sha Tsui.

One was in a Chinese restaurant, the... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/food-drink/article/3343741/dim-sum-hotpot-pizza-favourite-hong-kong-restaurants-tuber-umberto-bombana-chef?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/food-drink/article/3343741/dim-sum-hotpot-pizza-favourite-hong-kong-restaurants-tuber-umberto-bombana-chef?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 18 Feb 2026 04:45:08 +0000 Andrew Sun Andrew Sun Fabio Mariella, a native of Genoa in Italy, is the executive chef at the Holiday Inn Golden Mile hotel in Hong Kong. He spoke to Andrew Sun. I was born in Genoa but both my parents are from the south of Italy. My mom always cooks at home and I always watch her. My dad is also a chef, so I learned a lot from both of them. They both worked, but on Sundays they always made simple things like pasta with a meat sauce like bolognese. This is where my passion for food comes from. I like traditional... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/food-drink/article/3343055/hotel-chefs-go-hong-kong-restaurants-italian-fine-dining-french-indian-and-more?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/food-drink/article/3343055/hotel-chefs-go-hong-kong-restaurants-italian-fine-dining-french-indian-and-more?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 11 Feb 2026 04:45:08 +0000 Tessa Yau Tessa Yau The F&B industry is notorious for its long hours and the physical exertion required of its workers. It is also a field where women have struggled to rise to the top, as they often bear a disproportionate share of household and family responsibilities. A 2022 survey by the international food magazine Chef’s Pencil highlighted this disparity, finding that women led a mere 6 per cent of the 2,286 Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide. But in Macau, a new generation of women is quietly changing the... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/100-top-tables/article/3328795/not-just-boys-club-3-and-comers-macaus-fb-industry-tells-it-all?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/100-top-tables/article/3328795/not-just-boys-club-3-and-comers-macaus-fb-industry-tells-it-all?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 14 Oct 2025 10:15:08 +0000 Andrew Sun Andrew Sun Bavaria-native Alexander Wassermann is the Miramar Group’s head of hotels and service apartments, including The Mira and Mira Moon. He spoke to Andrew Sun. Growing up in Germany, food was centred around bread in various forms – sourdough or rolls with butter, jam, cold cuts and cheese, plus pickles and sometimes eggs, with pasta of all kinds a frequent alternative.
