However, since my dad loves cooking, he always prepared meals for us when he was free.

I love a dim sum lunch, and my favourite places are <strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Chinesology<\/strong> (Shop 3101-07, IFC Mall, 8 Finance Street, Central. Tel: 6809 2299) and <strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Cuisine Cuisine<\/strong> (3\/F, The Mira Hong Kong, 118 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. Tel: 2315 5222). Both are very creative and special.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-inline-container e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"image-inline caption e1fvabeq0 css-19sk4h4 ea9pn0s0\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\">\n<figure class=\"image-inline caption ea9pn0s1 css-1qeofuq e1gf69pb0\" data-qa=\"ArticleImage-ArticleImageContainer\">\n<div data-qa=\"ArticleImage-handleRenderImage-ImageContainer\" class=\"css-0 e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Prawns in XO sauce at Cuisine Cuisine in The Mira Hong Kong.

Tel: 2610 0080), where you can enjoy one of the best views of <span data-qa=\"Component-Text\" class=\"css-0 ef9u0v00\">Victoria Harbour<\/span> in town. The Italian cuisine is more than decent and never disappoints me.<\/div>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">My pick for a weekend brunch is at <strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Watermark<\/strong> (Shop L, Central Ferry Pier No 7, Central. Tel: 2167 7251), which I admit is part of the Cafe Deco Group. It serves a brunch with unlimited appetisers plus a main course of your choice. For me, the location is a pretty nice place to hang out with friends over a relaxing weekend.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">I would take a new visitor to some local Hong Kong-style cafes. My recent top pick is <strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Ladies\u2019 Street Sik Faan Co<\/strong> (Shop A, B\/F, The Pinnacle, 8 Minden Avenue, Tsim Sha Tsui. Tel: 2388 6111). There are two locations, but the Tsim Sha Tsui one is my preference. It is not too expensive, and you can enjoy the experience of local Cantonese food in a decent venue.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-inline-container e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"image-inline caption e1fvabeq0 css-19sk4h4 ea9pn0s0\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\">\n<figure class=\"image-inline caption ea9pn0s1 css-12vv9w2 e1gf69pb0\" data-qa=\"ArticleImage-ArticleImageContainer\">\n<div data-qa=\"ArticleImage-handleRenderImage-ImageContainer\" class=\"css-0 e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Claypot rice from Ladies\u2019 Street Sik Faan Co.
