Dim sum, coffee, char siu, egg tart, lamb skewers in Australian's ideal Hong Kong food day
I've always gravitated toward big, bold flavours. I tend to prefer street food over fine dining. For me, you get a real sense of a place by eating what everyday people eat.
I grew up in outer suburban Melbourne, where my parents worked hard in Chinese takeaway restaurants that catered to Western tastes.
Most nights, dinner was whatever leftovers they brought home – so my early food memories revolve around classic Chinese-Australian dishes.

Cristiano Ronaldo in Hong Kong: fans greet superstar's arrival at hotel
Cristiano Ronaldo landed in Hong Kong on Thursday, sparking excitement as fans vied to catch a glimpse of the football superstar. A crowd gathered at the Regent Hong Kong hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui during the morning after word spread of the Portuguese's rumoured arrival ahead of next week's Saudi Super Cup, which is being staged in the city. They were rewarded shortly before 3pm local time when Ronaldo – who last month opened a museum in Hong Kong chronicling his career – arrived with his teammates from Saudi club Al-Nassr on their team bus. Emerging from the bus to cheers, Ronaldo was ushered past fans and quickly into the hotel, while his fellow players stopped to retrieve their bags. Play The Regent is a stone's throw away from Ronaldo's CR7 Life Museum in the K11 Musea shopping centre.

Lack of National Games tickets for groups a snag for Hong Kong's tourism sector
Hong Kong tourism representatives have raised concerns that no tickets for the coming National Games will be allocated to travel groups, and that each buyer can only purchase six seats for any event, limiting the types of visitor packages that companies can offer. Yeung Sai-hing, general manager of culture, sport and tourism at China Travel Service, the designated offline ticket seller for Hong Kong events, said on Thursday that his agency was striving to create more travel products, but the organising committee had not made any block bookings available. 'Currently, there is nothing specifically reserved for group tickets or packages,' he told a radio programme. 'But I think, based on the ticketing situation, there is a great need, because the market has this need, and we must satisfy different customer groups … and we also want to launch [more] tourism products.' Timothy Chui Ting-pong, executive director of the Hong Kong Tourism Association, also noted a 'mismatch' between the short-notice travel habits of Greater Bay Area tourist groups and the time needed to arrange tour packages that include attending competitions at the National Games. 'As the tickets are mainly sold to individual travellers as separate tickets, it may not be possible to coordinate and design tourism products that will allow people to visit the events,' Chui said.
