Laidback Lunch on Level 101
It certainly was a beautiful day to be up and about eating at 101 levels above the ground at Radical Chic – with the kind of early summer weather reminding me of Bossa Nova tunes for some reasons. I missed the gorgeous sunset at my last dinner here a few months ago but I was more than compensated with the gorgeous day time view this time at the table overseeing the Hong Kong Island skyline at the back and West Kowloon in front.

Solid Choice
It felt like not that long ago when we first saw the hoarding in front of what has become the new location for Sushi Wadatsumi. Turned out that's almost one year ago since their old shop in Sheung Wan closed and relocated to K11 Musea across the harbor.

Casual Degustazione
Remarkably, we saw a few new restaurant openings despite all the restrictions imposed during the pandemic. Testina was one of them, a modern trattoria-style restaurant at the corner of Lyndhurst Terrace with collaboration with the team from the popular Trippa in Milan and chef Marco Xodo hailed from Bombana Shanghai.

Return to Roots
We were happy when we heard Chef Stephanie’s restaurant Roots was reopening in late March after a short hiatus, and we decided to pay her a visit on the first week of service resumption. Of course, a short break away from the kitchen is always good to refresh one’s mind but we are also conscious about this COVID crisis has been hitting everyone hard, especially those small businesses in town.

Sushi Hisayoshi
We went for sushi once again a few weekends ago at a new
restaurant in TST. Saw my friend’s IG story about this place earlier and learned
that this is the outpost for Tokyo’s Ginza Iwa in their second attempt to open
a branch in this part of the world. This sushi-ya took up the space formerly
occupied by a high-end ramen joint at the quieter section of Harbour City. The dƩcor
was classic with the pale wooden tones with a spacious U-shaped counter which
can seat 15+ comfortably and another counter/private room at the back if they were
able to operate in full capacity.

Weekday Lunch
When we saw a lunch spot open up at Ando in the middle of last month (probably due to some last minute cancellations), we didn’t hesitate to fetch it and call this a mini accomplishment of sorts. While dine-in for evenings is still out of the question, Ando is by all means still very popular during the day – the dining room was filled to the capacity when we arrived slightly after noon for our lunch reservation. Quite a contrast to the quiet streets even in the middle of Central business district in the middle of a weekday.
