Editor ’s Letter Dear Hungry Reader, As always, it’s been another chaotic and action-filled year for Hong Kong’s dining scene. But rather than congruous bursts of homogeneity—like the tapas, bao, and Latin American crazes of recent memory—this past year has been a bit less predictable and a whole lot more niche. HK Eats ambitiously tries to capture it all. There were several high-profile foreign imports, borrowing heavily from British celebrity chefs Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay and Jason Atherton (p.22). Local big shots—like the former chefs of Petrus, St. George and L’Atelier du Joël Robuchon— also debuted their own brands (p.12, 48) or expanded their dining empires. There’s been a slow and steady rise of trendy Chinese diners, offering everything from the humble to the super fancy (p.24). There were bits and pieces of artsy (p.16), funky (p.34), and hipster (p.54). And then there were openings that were just plain random (p.55). But no matter what your preferences are, you should be able to find something in this guide that will cater to your tastebuds! Chow for now,

Be careful what you wish for. By Adele Wong

ure, writing about the latest restaurants, trying decadent dishes, and meeting dashing celebrity chefs might sound like glamorous job requirements. But I’m here to dispel the myth of the Food Writer once and for all—if not to enlighten you, then to keep you from becoming one and stealing my thunder (as well as my readers). Here are the reasons why Food Writing is the worst job in the world:

You’ll end up hating food. Eight-course lunches, wine-pairing dinners and three-tiered tea sets will become your daily diet, and you will become sick of it. You will moan about the next caviar-topped 63-degree egg, and become increasingly jaded by your sheer indulgence. And at some point you will start craving normal food—or nothing at all. Which brings me to my next point.

You will be crucified if you’re ever caught craving normal food. If you are a food writer, you will be judged if you buy a bag of chips from 7-Eleven (What are you even thinking?!), stop for a late-night bowl of instant noodles at Tsui Wah, or stuff anything less than pristine into your mouth. You will be a walking billboard for all that you ingest. And you will resent it.

- HK EATS 2014 -

You’ll end up hating people. You’ll hate people who don’t agree with your views about a restaurant. You’ll hate people who keep asking you about the newest restaurants. (Why can’t they just read your damn magazine?) You’ll hate people who invite you to too many tastings, and those who don’t invite you to any. You’ll hate PRs who bombard you with nonsense, and those who don’t keep you in the loop about the latest and greatest. You’ll hate chefs who don’t give you the right answers for your story, and those who give you way too many. In short, you will become severely anti-social.

You’ll be THAT asshat who documents every single dish at every single meal. Don’t you just hate those social media freaks who have to take a picture of that bowl of nachos from five different angles? Yeah, you’ll be one of them.

Your restaurant reviews will be the source of endless reader fury. Writing a positive review = you will be labeled a sycophant, an ass-kisser, shoe-shiner. Writing a negative review = you will be called a hater and issued death threats.

You will never get to eat at the same restaurant ever again. Your job is to write about NEW restaurants, and trust me, that is a never-ending game. Every revisit will represent a missed opportunity.

You will be paid in food instead of dollars. There’s a reason you don’t hear people say, “I wanna be a food writer when I grow up.” That’s because Food Writing is hardly a lucrative career. Free food could be a perk of the job—or it could be your only means of survival. They say you don’t go into journalism for the money—but you do go into food journalism precisely for the food.

You will probably gain 30 pounds a year. Or die of a heart attack. We already know Food Writing is not a lucrative career. Well, turns out it isn’t a sustainable one either. You’ll end up fat or dead, or both—if you don’t watch what you eat. Good luck!

FYI, Brittany is a coastal region in Northern France known for its seafaring nature, lighthouses and ports, but especially for its delicious crêpes and gluten free buckwheat galettes. The restaurants draw heavily upon the theme with a very nice wooden/ nautical interior design and lots of little touches such as lighthouse salt & pepper shakers, sailor-uniforms, barometers and more.

La Creperie got awarded with the certificate of excellence 2014 on Trip advisor. A special mention for its friendly service! When it comes to the food, La Creperie is renowned to serve the best crêpes and galettes in Asia. Most of the ingredients they use are imported from France and they use fresh fruits and vegetables in its preparations, which really makes a difference in terms of taste. They also import and serve artisanal apple cider from Brittany, the best match with their food. La Creperie is the perfect spot for a casual set lunch, an afternoon tea break with your family or an amazing diner with friends.
