#homekong Hong Kong
Michelin-starred restaurants, unique restaurant concepts, international restaurant franchises --- you've got it all in Hong Kong! I arrived at a time when the city was under a different scene (August 2019 - January 2020), but even with everything that's going on, I have to say that the dining scene was still an absolute experience!
​
We tried to visit restaurants whenever we can. Here are some of my favourites:
Pici, Pirata Group's Pasta Bar
​
This would have to be my fave after-work dinner choice! My friend and I dined each week for about a month. And the go-to choice? Their Tasting Menu! For $290pp, a menu for two could get you 2 starters,3 portions of pasta, and 2 desserts (go for the tiramisu!). And for those "What a long day!" sighs, you can definitely count on their wine offerings to pair with your plate.
​
Our location of choice was always the one in Central, just because it's near our workplace, but they have about 6 shops all around Hong Kong. I love the decor and the ambience especially at peak dinner time.
My faves
​
1. Pappardelle (beef cheek ragu slow cooked for 8 hours)
2. Tagliolini (fresh shaved black truffle, white truffle paste)
3. Ravioli Carbonara (not in photos; egg yolk, ricotta, pecorino, guanciale)
​
Louise, JIA Group
​
Ending the internship with a bang! Our last lunch in the city was made perfect by Louise! Located in Soho and set in a heritage-listed house, serving French cuisine, amazing desserts, cocktails, and wine.

​
And of course, for dessert, my absolute favorite millefeuille.
The meal was nothing short of amazing.
