Canadian's favourite Hong Kong restaurants for Singaporean, Indian, seafood and more

When it comes to food, I pretty much like it all. I especially love chocolate and ice cream, so when I hear people say some desserts are too sweet, it blows my mind.
Having lived in Asia for 19 years, I am obviously fond of Asian cuisine. These days, I am mostly vegetarian, trying to stay as healthy as possible. But I am not a big salad eater. I enjoy a lot of Indian and Thai throughout the week.

I guess I am quite old school when it comes to choosing the restaurants that I go to, because I am quite loyal. A favourite restaurant of mine is(2/F, 618 Shanghai Street, Mong Kok. Tel: 2561 2633). It is a Singaporean restaurant that

There, you will always find the best customer service and get a good meal at an affordable price. I usually get the vegetarian nasi lemak, which is so uniquely presented and filling.

Museum Cafe 8 (Hong Kong Maritime Museum Roof, Pier 8, Central Pier) is a consistent go-to for coffees and light lunches when I have business meetings on Hong Kong Island. It is another social enterprise helping the neurodiverse community.

NGOs call for more accessible heat shelters in Hong Kong as survey finds facilities underused
A green group and a homelessness charity have called on the Hong Kong government to make temporary heat shelters more accessible after finding that a majority of residents in need had not used the facilities. According to a survey that Greenpeace Hong Kong and homelessness charity ImpactHK conducted in June and July, around 65 per cent of respondents said they had not used heat shelters during the city's sweltering summer months. More than half of those who had not used heat shelters cited inconvenient locations as a main reason. Among the 97 people surveyed, some 90 per cent were rough sleepers, while the remaining respondents lived in inadequate housing such as subdivided units or 'coffin homes.' The Home Affairs Department has 109 community halls and centres citywide, of which 19 are listed as temporary heat shelters — about one for each district. 'But we still can see that there are many people who find that these heat shelters are too far away,' said Greenpeace campaigner Tom Ng at a press conference on Tuesday. He said that the government could open more community facilities as temporary heat shelters, so it would not be necessary for the authorities to build new ones. However, he suggested those facilities should be within a 15-minute walking distance from where residents in need usually live, especially considering some rough sleepers might have disabilities or mobility issues. As an example, he mentioned Tung Chau Street in Sham Shui Po, known as a location where a large homeless population resides. The nearest heat shelter, Shek Kip Mei Community Hall, is a 17-minute walk away, while Nam Cheong District Community Centre, which is closer, is not designated as a heat shelter. The NGOs mentioned other governments' policy on heat shelters. For example, Berlin is planning to shorten the maximum travel time to a heat shelter from the current 10 minutes to five minutes by 2030. The study also found that heat shelters in districts including the Yau Tsim Mong area, Sham Shui Po, Wong Tai Sin, Kwun Tong, and Tsuen Wan were insufficient to serve low-income communities. Negative experience The Greenpeace-ImpactHK survey also found that more than a third of respondents who had not used heat shelters said they were not aware of the existence of such facilities, and that more than 80 per cent believed government messaging and announcements were insufficient. Meanwhile, most respondents who had used heat shelters rated their experience negatively, with privacy receiving the lowest rating at 2.34 on a five-point scale, and 2.77 for opening hours and staff attitude. Some also said their belongings were stolen during their stay at the heat shelters. Isaac Ho, programme manager at ImpactHK, said at the press conference that those experiences would discourage people from utilising heat shelters and increase their risk of heat-related illnesses. A separate survey released on Sunday by two concern groups, CarbonCare InnoLab and the Kwai Chung Subdivided Units Kai Fong Association, found that summer nights in Hong Kong's subdivided flats could feel as hot as 44°C in July. More than 70 per cent of respondents said the extreme heat left them feeling fatigued, with frequent heat-related symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and heart palpitations.

'Fuel to Air India jet engines cut off before crash'
'Fuel to Air India jet engines cut off before crash' One pilot had asked the other why he had cut off fuel to the plane's engines, though he denied doing so. File photo: Reuters A preliminary report into the Air India crash that killed 260 people last month showed three seconds after taking off, the plane's engines fuel cutoff switches almost simultaneously flipped from run to cutoff, starving the engines of fuel. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner immediately began to lose thrust and sink down, according to the report released on Saturday by Indian aviation accident investigators. One pilot can be heard on the cockpit voice recorder asking the other why he cut off the fuel. "The other pilot responded that he did not do so," the report said. It did not identify which remarks were made by the flight's captain and which by the first officer, nor which pilot transmitted "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday" just before the crash. At the crash site, both fuel switches were found in the run position and the report said there had been indications of both engines relighting before the low-altitude crash. Both pilots were experienced jet pilots with about 19,000 total flying hours between them, including more than 9,000 on the 787. The preliminary report also does not say how the switch could have flipped to the cutoff position on the June 12 London-bound flight from the Indian city of Ahmedabad. US aviation safety expert Anthony Brickhouse said a key question is why were the switches moved in a way that is inconsistent with normal operations. "Did they move on their own or did they move because of the pilots?" he asked. "And if they were moved because of a pilot, why?" Another expert John Cox said a pilot would not be able to accidentally move the fuel switches that feed the engines. "You can't bump them and they move," he said. Flipping to cutoff almost immediately cuts the engines. It is most often used to turn engines off once a plane has arrived at its airport gate and in certain emergency situations, such as an engine fire. The report does not indicate there was any emergency requiring an engine cutoff. "At this stage of investigation, there are no recommended actions to Boeing 787-8 and/or GE GEnx-1B engine operators and manufacturers" India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau said. Air India, Boeing and GE Aerospace did not respond immediately to requests for comment. The agency, an office under India's civil aviation ministry, is leading the probe into the world's deadliest aviation accident in a decade. The plane's two black boxes, both combined cockpit voice recorders and flight data recorders, were recovered in the days following the crash and later downloaded in India. Black boxes provide crucial data such as altitude, airspeed and final pilot conversations which help in narrowing down possible causes of the crash. Most air crashes are caused by multiple factors, with a preliminary report due 30 days after the accident according to international rules, and a final report expected within a year. Air India has been under intense scrutiny since the crash. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency said it plans to investigate its budget airline, Air India Express, after Reuters reported the carrier did not follow a directive to change engine parts of an Airbus A320 in a timely manner and falsified records to show compliance. India's aviation watchdog has also warned Air India for breaching rules for flying three Airbus planes with overdue checks on escape slides and in June warned it about "serious violations" of pilot duty timings.
