‘Soul warming' noodles, ‘stunning' fusion: drinks expert's top Hong Kong restaurants
When I was growing up my family frequently dined out and we had a particular fondness for Chinese cuisine. We would go for dim sum every week, as well as explore new restaurants.
Now, I seek out diverse flavours, from
spicy Sichuan hotpot to delicate Japanese sushi, often pairing them with a glass of burgundy or champagne to elevate the experience. Whether it is street food or fine dining, I am always chasing the next unforgettable bite.
On weekends, I enjoy going to Farm Restaurant (Shop S401A, Lakeside 2, 10 Science Park West Avenue, Phase 2, Hong Kong Science Park, Pak Shek Kok, Sha Tin. WhatsApp: 6011 6196) for dim sum with family. I can even bring my shiba there. Their cute dim sum and pet-friendly outdoor seating create a very relaxing atmosphere.

For a refined experience, La Fleur Too (1/F, Johnston Building, 14-16 Johnston Road, Wan Chai. Tel: 2893 5891) is a small French restaurant that I love for lunch and dinner, particularly for its exquisite smoked baby eel salad.

Official data show record-high company registration figures in Hong Kong
Hong Kong has logged record-high company registration figures, with close to 1.5 million local firms registered in the city as of June, according to the latest official data. The number of non-Hong Kong companies registered under the Companies Ordinance and opening offices in the city had also reached an all-time high of 15,509 by the end of June, the Companies Registry (CR) said on Friday. In the first half of this year, Hong Kong saw 84,293 newly registered local firms and 761 overseas companies set up a place of business in the city, the latest CR figures show. Close to 50,000 local companies deregistered, and 378 non-Hong Kong firms ceased to operate in the city over the same period, according to an HKFP tally based on the figures. The CR attributed the increase in company registrations to two amendments made to the Companies Ordinance in the first half of this year, which the government says aim at facilitating local business and attracting overseas enterprises and investments. The first amendment, effective April 17, has facilitated listed companies incorporated in Hong Kong to hold or sell the shares they have bought back from the market. The second amendment, effective May 23, has offered non-Hong Kong corporations a streamlined route to re-domicile in the city. Hong Kong has launched a drive to attract international business amid global trade uncertainty triggered by US President Donald Trump's tariff wars. Last month, Chief Executive John Lee likened the city's economic outreach efforts to 'chasing a girl.' Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern countries are Hong Kong's priority for deepening trade ties as the city is attempting to reduce its reliance on the US market, he said in the interview with the South China Morning Post. The CR did not provide a breakdown of the origins of the non-Hong Kong companies that have set up shop in the city. Unemployment figures Meanwhile, the Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) said on Thursday that Hong Kong's latest unemployment rate stood at 3.5 per cent in the April to June period, while the underemployment rate also remained unchanged at 1.4 per cent. The number of unemployed persons was 136,200 in the April to June period, up 400 from the March to May period. Increases in the unemployment rate were mainly seen in the construction sector and the food and beverage sector, the C&SD said in a press release. The construction sector logged a 6.8 per cent unemployment rate in April to June – up 0.5 per cent from the March to May period. The latest figure for the food and beverage sector was 6 per cent – up 0.3 per cent from the previous period. Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun said that 'various industries in Hong Kong are undergoing transition,' but 'the continued expansion of the Hong Kong economy should provide support to the labour market.'

Hong Kong's URA may review compensation cuts for residents affected by redevelopment
Hong Kong's cash-strapped Urban Renewal Authority (URA) may review its policy to reduce compensation to residents affected by redevelopments, its new chief has said, as the organisation faces rising financial challenges. URA managing director Donald Choi Wun-hing said on Friday in his first meeting with the media that it was an appropriate time to review the current compensation package. Residential flat owners receive the cash equivalent of the market price of a comparable seven-year-old flat in the same district under the current arrangement. 'We have room to discuss and review the compensation arrangement,' Choi said, adding that there should be flexibility for adjustments. He cited offering cross-district resettlement with new land granted by the government in Tseung Kwan O as one of the examples. The government last month made a rare move of granting the URA two land parcels in Hung Hom and Tseung Kwan O to provide extra financial help for its projects, under the conditions that the authority had to undertake urban redevelopment in a financially sustainable manner, 'irrespective of market ups and downs'.
