“I love the pace of life in Hong Kong. It is quite fast and having lived here for most of my life, I am used to the pace of the city. Another thing that never ceases to amaze me is how efficient and convenient it is. Everything is in such close proximity with one another which makes it very easy to get around!”

When Fashion Designer and Entrepreneur Mr. Harrison Wong is not busy designing his latest menswear creations or overseeing his newly launched café inside his clothing boutique at The Mills, he travels across the city far and wide in search of various succulent culinary gems to delight his palate. After all, he admits that Hong Kong is truly a foodie haven where you can find absolutely every type of cuisine. Join Mr. Harrison Wong on his delectable journey across the city now.

10AM: Sleep in and wake up at Page148

11AM: Make it a point to walk on the street level over to Elements Mall in Kowloon MTR Station (or take the MTR if you prefer) from Tsim Sha Tsui to witness the pace of the city

12PM: Once you arrive inside Elements shopping mall, head to the Ritz Carlton Hong Kong and take the elevator all the way up to the 102nd floor where you will find yourself in the presence of Tosca Di Angelo, the Italian fine dining restaurant that faces out to panoramic views of the Hong Kong skyline. Do order Tosca’s signature dish – the Hamachi Carpaccio with Sicilian Condiment and Oscietra Caviar. It is truly a gastronomic journey for the palate. Here, you can relish in a blissful brunch above the clouds

1:30PM: After a delightful afternoon of brunching atop the highest skyscraper in Hong Kong, take the MTR subway across the harbour to Central MTR Station. Mr. Harrison Wong suggests you take a walk to the Central-Mid-Levels escalators, the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world, and ride up to Tai Kwun, a centre for heritage and arts. This former Central Police Station of Hong Kong has been redeveloped into a cultural and shopping destination with many restaurants, exhibitions and events for you to discover

3:30PM: Since you are already within the Central district, walk another 10 minutes over to PMQ, the old Hollywood Road Police Married Quarters that has been renovated and now turned into a mixed-use venue for arts and design. Harrison recommends out-of-towners to visit these hip and trendy local boutiques inside PMQ that are unique to Hong Kong. At the moment, PMQ houses approximately 100 design and creative enterprises in this revitalised historical site

6PM: Head back down to Central Pier and take the ferry over to Tsim Sha Tsui on Kowloon Island. The golden hour should slowly set in so be sure to have your camera ready while the sun glistens beautifully against the water. From Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier, hop into one of the city’s iconic red taxis and make your way to Temple Street Night Market for an authentic local dinner. In this area, you will find a kaleidoscope of restaurants and flea markets collided together in one compact area, making for a truly unique experience you cannot get anywhere else. Harrison recommends you try one of the dai pai dongs lining the street, also referred to as “open-air food stalls” to taste the local flavours of Hong Kong

8PM: The night is still young so why not take the party over to Aqua, a chic and sophisticated restaurant at One Peking Road, where the drinks are as delectable as the dishes. This bar and restaurant boasts one of the most stunning views of the city as it faces directly across from the Central Harbourfront. We assure you that you will want to order another round

10PM: Once you’ve had a few cocktails in you, it is time to call a taxi back to Page148 and fall into a deep slumber
