Where a Cantonese comfort food lover goes for tastes of ‘old-school Hong Kong' in the city
Advertisement
I enjoy simple, traditional Hong Kong comfort food – such as steamed or scrambled eggs with shrimp. When I was in high school, my go-to lunch was wonton noodles.
I still remember they only cost HK$18 (those were the days!), and sometimes I would even have two bowls.
I love a local spot called Ho Ho Restaurant (Shop E&F, 136-142 Belcher's Street, Kennedy Town. Tel: 2818 3658). It has been around for at least 20 years. I remember going there back in high school.
My favourite late-night order is the rice noodle rolls with eggs, and I always top off the night with a local dessert such as hot walnut soup.

The place is open late and is a favourite among students and locals for its affordable, classic comfort food.

Long run for Olympic winner ends in HK
Long run for Olympic winner ends in HK Wang Junxia holds up the gold medal that she won in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Photo: RTHK Retired Chinese long-distance runner and Olympic gold medallist Wang Junxia has become a Hongkonger through the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme. Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Wang said she decided to move to Hong Kong as it is an international city that gathers talent from all over the world. She wishes to contribute to the sports development in Hong Kong. 'Hong Kong is doing well in sports and cultural education," Wang said. "Although I said I want to promote sports in the city, I also want to learn from Hong Kong through exchanges. "I hope we can learn from each other, and I will do my best to contribute." Wang snatched gold in the women's 5,000 metres at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Georgia, becoming the first Chinese athlete to win a Games gold medal in a long-distance race. Wang's 15-year-old daughter, Huang Danting, who was born and raised in the United States, also said she is excited to become a Hong Kong resident and wants to represent the SAR in competitions in the future. 'I did compete in some races and I got first place in a lot of them," Huang said. "Because I'm pretty good, so probably someday I can compete for Hong Kong.' Lawmaker Shang Hailong, the founding president of the Hong Kong Top Talent Services Association, said Wang can help local athletes in training. He added that his association has been offering support to newly arrived talent through job fairs and Cantonese lessons. 'We organised six job fairs in the past two years and helped more than 2,000 families in finding jobs in Hong Kong,' he said. Shang said the association is confident of attracting more talent to the city.

‘Opportunity I could not let pass': Hong Kong expats embrace life in Qatar
Hongkonger and Christian William Soo Yau-kung beat the odds by starting a new chapter in his career eight years ago at the age of 50, relocating to the Islamic country of Qatar, an unconventional choice perhaps for expats. 'Working for Qatar [Airways] is like playing an international match as I get to work alongside top engineers from around the world – holding almost 200 different passports – which motivates me to learn more and do better,' the flight operations engineer said. 'While most companies concentrate their resources on daily operations, I was given a chance to build a new system, a project my company recognised for its long-term importance.' The job satisfaction, combined with an attractive package that included accommodation and his twin sons' education at an international school – comparable to that of a pilot in his previous company – has led to Soo's family staying in Doha for eight years. Soo and his wife shared their experiences with the Post from their home in Doha ahead of a visit by Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu and a delegation of mainland Chinese and Hong Kong entrepreneurs to Qatar and Kuwait last week to explore business opportunities. As a Christian family, Soo explained they had been able to find their religious community in the Muslim country but must adhere to the rules during Ramadan.
