Sushi, seafood, tea: where the founder of Qipology goes in Hong Kong for dim sum and more

That is probably why I gravitate towards simpler food rather than anything too elaborate. I eat out a lot for work, so when I choose for myself, I lean towards places that feel calm and consistent rather than trendy.

For lunch, I am a regular at T/EA (Shop H107, Block B Hollywood, PMQ, 35 Aberdeen Street, Central. Tel: 9531 0069). The modern teahouse reinterprets traditional tea culture with a contemporary approach, serving sparkling tieguanyin, cold teas and tea-based drinks alongside dumpling noodles and light bites such as rose cake.

I also love Kikusan (B13-B16, Landmark Atrium, 15 Queen’s Road Central, Central. Tel: 2521 3344). It is a modern Japanese-Chinese spot, the kind of place where you can get everything from dim sum and ramen to sushi and rice bowls, all done well without fuss. The vegetable curry rice and stir-fried cauliflower dish are personal favourites.
