Where a Cantonese comfort food lover goes for tastes of ‘old-school Hong Kong' in the city
Marathon swimmer Ryan Leung Chun-hay, who works in the property sector, is the only Hongkonger to ever swim across the North Channel between Northern Ireland and Scotland. He spoke to Andrew Sun. 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.

‘Phenomenal' vegetarian food in Hong Kong and more favourites of restaurant director
Harshil Bhasin is the director of operations at Hong Kong restaurant group Silver Spoon Restaurants (formerly Silver Oaks), which just opened a new Thai place, O'Thai, in the city's Hung Hom neighbourhood. He spoke to Andrew Sun. Advertisement I was born and raised in Hong Kong. Like a typical Indian family, we ate a lot of home-cooked food. My dad managed Gaylord , the more than 50-year-old Indian restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui, so on big nights like Diwali, we would go there after the regular dinner service. I am a vegetarian now, but I'm 'CDC' – condiments don't count. I am OK with fish and chicken broth. Harshil Bhasin is the director of operations at Silver Spoon Restaurants. Photo: Harshil Bhasin I used to be obsessed with the scallion, ginger, spring onion oil and brown sauce served with Hainan chicken rice , which I ate with my mom when she worked in Wan Chai. That is a core memory.

Where a coffee lover in Hong Kong eats breakfast and dim sum and drinks wine and more
Sophie Chan is a trained barista and certified sensory judge who writes about coffee on her platform, Coffee Daily. She spoke to Andrew Sun. Advertisement Growing up in a family of food lovers, I was surrounded by delicious Chiu Chow and Shanghai cuisine. Both my grandparents were exceptional home cooks and my dad is my partner in crime in culinary adventures. We always seek out local dining experiences. He taught me to appreciate good Chinese food, regardless of price. By my twenties, my love for beverages – tea, coffee, cocktails and spirits – opened up my palate to international cuisines. While I genuinely enjoy good food, I also appreciate the atmosphere and interactions that come with restaurants. Sang Kee Congee Shop (7-9 Burd Street, Sheung Wan. Tel: 2541 1099) is one of my favourites. For breakfast, fish belly congee at(7-9 Burd Street, Sheung Wan. Tel: 2541 1099) is one of my favourites. Pappardelle with chicken offal ragu at Testina.

Could Trump's tariffs mean cheaper non-US food in Hong Kong like avocados and olive oil?
Optimists always say that with every challenge comes new opportunities. Advertisement But with the economically illiterate US President Donald Trump single-handedly unleashing a new dawn of American protectionism, sending stock indices falling and world markets into a tailspin, things are looking bleak and may get worse. Maybe there's a bright side to focus on, however. For those of us in Hong Kong, which is still one of the freest ports in the world, the situation hopefully is not so bad. In fact, there might even be a chance to take advantage of the turmoil. If French champagne makers end up selling less to the US, there are plenty of society events in Hong Kong ready to boost their consumption, Andrew Sun says. Photo: Shutterstock Some of the countries hit hardest by tariffs are Asia's major factory producers, including Vietnam, Thailand and, of course, China. Assuming these countries' American sales will now decline, all those surplus goods will have to go somewhere else, right?
