LOVE Hong Kong by Stephen Luk

Pondi: It has a fantastic French menu inspired by Indian heritage. Its small, charming space lies off the beaten path in the Sai Ying Pun neighbourhood. Delicious food and a charmingly chill location. What’s more to ask for?
Ronin: It is just the place. Delicious Japanese cuisine with a modern take. Intimate space and a great collection of whiskey. The Grand Hyatt: Not only it is a shameless plug, it does have beautifully appointed rooms by BAR Studio, fabulous restaurants including the best Italian restaurant, Grissini, and a great pool (when it isn’t busy).
The Peninsula: It is the Grande Dame. It’s history and it’s service. Again, some great restaurants and a great view of the harbour, and it’s not mixed into any shopping mall, which keeps it charm and exclusivity.
M+: It is a must to mention M+. The latest and the greatest in HK. I was very impressed with the collection and the curation. Definitely worth a visit.
PMQ: To see some young, local ‘create-preneurs’, PMQ is probably a place to check out. You may also stumble across exhibitions from time to time in their central courtyard. Star Ferry: Take a Star Ferry. It’s a pleasant contrast to the busy pace of Hong Kong. Jump on board and admire both the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon skylines, or just zoom out for some meditative time.
Upper Lascar Row: Some people may thing I am crazy. You are not going to buy anything there, but it is charming to check out the street. It also has some nice eating destinations like the Halfway Cafe and Mora, new Tofu base restaurant. There is also a cool antique/thrift shop around the corner that is worth checking out.
BETTER FUTURE Building Foundation Ltd, (a.k.a. the BETTER FUTURE Endowment) was set up as a benevolent charity to aid women who are experiencing homelessness or are at threat of homelessness.
The charity has created a simple three-step process to turn your capital gains into community benefits.
Over the next three–to–five years we’re looking at the potential to scale from 300-1000 community housing units that will be managed by charitable community housing organisations like Launch Housing or other women’s shelters around the country.
BETTER FUTURE Endowment Pledge
The first stage in your donation journey is making a pledge. A pledge isn’t a financial commitment but a statement of intent. It will help you and your accountant plan for the most tax-effective giving cycle and help our team as well.
We’ve structured donations into 6 options based on how much of your gain you would like to use to offset losses and change the future for women who are homeless or at threat of homelessness.
Let’s start the journey to a BETTER FUTURE together.
