She spoke to Andrew Sun.<\/em><\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">I was born in the US but I grew up eating home-cooked Filipino food. My summer memories are of dad grilling pork marinated in tangy soy-garlic barbecue sauce that we then dipped in garlic-spiked vinegar.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">From an early age, I had a taste for bold flavours. But we also liked American \u201ctreats\u201d at Pizza Hut and Olive Garden. I will eat almost everything and love experiencing new cuisines.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">For a fix of Italian-American food, I love going to <strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Frank\u2019s<\/strong> (G\/F &amp; 1\/F, 79 Wyndham Street, Central. Tel: 9097 9730) or its sister restaurant <strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Fini\u2019s<\/strong> (two locations including 49 Elgin Street, Central. Tel: 9143 2402). They have the best spicy vodka rigatoni and chicken parm alla vodka. They are the real deal since the owner, like me, is from New Jersey.<\/p>\n<div datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1xdhyk6 ec74h0k0\"><strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Kam Tung Kitchen<\/strong> (Shop 5, 59-99 Shau Kei Wan Main Street East, Shau Kei Wan. Tel: 2569 4361) is a local food favourite. This family restaurant serves <span data-qa=\"Component-Text\" class=\"css-0 ef9u0v00\">traditional Tanka cuisine<\/span>, with many ingredients coming directly from fishermen and aunties in Po Toi O and Lantau. I still dream of the lobster Shaanxi noodles. The mud crab with pork patty, and clams with pork liver, are other must-tries.<\/div>\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-bjn8wh e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Steamed pork patty with mud crab from Kam Tung Kitchen.
