I never really thought about food beyond utility until I studied architecture and urban geography. I came of age right before digital media flattened content, and moved to London to train as an architect at University College London in the 2000s.<\/p>\n

There, I was fascinated by how food, space and culture intersected. I then worked as an architectural editor at Phaidon Press, where publisher Emilia Terragni spearheaded a collection of cookbooks with Ren\u00e9 Redzepi, Ruth Rogers, Massimo Bottura and Ferran Adri\u00e0<\/span>. I became deeply interested in the geographies in which food happens.<\/div>\n

After moving to Hong Kong, my partner, who is very serious about food, further changed my perspective. Through her, I have come to appreciate how important eating is to life here and how much it shapes the city.<\/p>\n

There are too many dinner options to name, but one place I always like is ABC Kitchen<\/strong> (Shop CF7, 1\/F, Queen Street Cooked Food Market, 38 Des Voeux Road West, Sheung Wan. Tel: 9278 8227).<\/p>\n

Set in a municipal building\u2019s cooked food centre, it is a unique Hong Kong typology, located between an Indian restaurant and a dumpling shop. Yet it is some of the best continental food I have had. The setting \u2013 the plastic chairs, the seafood tanks next door, aunties rolling sticky rice dumplings<\/span> \u2013 makes it a microcosm of Hong Kong spirit.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
