Fuel Espresso One Taikoo Place
Fuel serves high end espresso drinks at a premium price. This outlet is more of a takeaway place for office workers to get their morning coffee. The short latte and cappuccino here are really good and worth a try.
Hong Kong Zoological And Botanical Gardens
A nice relaxing place away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Considering that there is no admission fee there is a great variety of wild life here. My son really enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone with kids.
James Dean Bust
The James dean bust is easy to miss as it is not very big. Pretty cool if you are a fan but it isn’t really all that special. The location on top of the hill is what makes it special. Phenomenal view of the Hollywood sign and LA area.
Lim Kee Bing Sutt
The baked breads here are really good. I haven’t eaten in the restaurant so I can’t speak for the food. However, if you are in the Wan Chai area this place is worth a visit.
The pineapple bun is soft and chewy with a crunchy sweet top. The name is bit misleading as it tastes nothing like pineapple but is still delicious.

Hakkasan
There are high end Fine dining restaurants in Shanghai but nothing really like Hakkasan. The restaurant fills a unique niche by catering to a crowd that wants a trendy spot to eat high end Chinese food, which serves high end cocktails and western style desserts. The detractors of this restaurant will say it’s not authentic. Those views are missing the point of the restaurant. Hakkasan is a place for a special occasion, a big night out on the town, or to experience and to have Chinese food prepared with unique ingredients.

Recommended dishes: crispy duck with cavier, lemon pot, stir fried A3 Wagyu beef
I have been here twice. Once for dinner and once for dim sum. The dim sum was good but not great. There wasn’t anything to innovative or anything that blew my mind. The quality is good and the price is high. I preferred my dinner experience over the dim sum. One thing to avoid is the fried noodles. Really disappointed by this dish.
The signature dish at Hakkasan is the crispy duck. This dish is delicious and you can think of it pretty much as Peking Duck with cavier. The real star for me is the lemon pot. I think this is close to a perfect dessert. It is fun and whimsical. A joy to look at and tastes amazing. You get sweet, tart, fat and crunch with this dish. The merengue pairs nicely with the richness of the cream in the pot. The richness of the dish is balanced out by the acidity coming from the lemon. I would come here just to eat this dessert.
