Tak Yu
Cafe
Hong Kong, Wan Chai, St Francis Yard, 17-18號號地舖
"People go todai pai dongs, which are very old normal Cantonese outdoor restaurants where you can have wonton soup and different rice dishes. There's one where they make really good curry and pork and rice, called Tak Yu."

Min Jun Cart Noodles
Noodle shop
Hong Kong, Causeway Bay, Tang Lung St, 18號G/F
"I love soups, so I'd recommend Min Jun Cart Noodles — I must say those are my favorite soups. It's a very Macau Hong Kong-style soup where you can add in different little things. You pick the size of your noodles, and you can have fish skin in it or different types of meats or a lot of vegetables."

MacLehose Trail
Tourism
Sai Kung, Hong Kong
"I like going hiking and taking different trails — Hong Kong has one of the most extensive trails any city has, like the MacLehose Trail, the Wilson Trail, which branch out in so many different ways, with beautiful peaks."
Patrik WALLNER
Tai Long Wan
Bay
Tai Long Wan, Sai Kung, Hong Kong
"I'd take a friend out into nature to Tai Long Wan, one of the most beautiful beaches in Hong Kong, close to Ham Tin, which is really good for surfing. It takes about two hours to get there from Central, but once you're there it's like you are in the Maldives. It's beautiful, and you have a nice peak right behind it called Sharp Peak."
