Where to go for delicious steak and Italian in Hong Kong? Omakase chef reveals
Zinc Leung, chef-owner of Sushi Zinc in Hong Kong, shares his favourite restaurants for steak, Italian, roast goose, seafood and more
Hong Kong native Zinc Leung is the head chef and owner of omakase restaurant Sushi Zinc in Shau Kei Wan. He spoke to Andrew Sun.
I would describe myself as a comfort food eater. I enjoy having the same dishes on repeat, and novelty isn’t essential for me.
Growing up near Sai Kung, I was surrounded by seafood, so fresh catches have always been a big part of my diet. That love for seafood has stayed with me ever since.
For lunch, I enjoy Roast Goose Restaurant (The Capital) (Shop 5-8, 22, The Capital, 61-65 Chatham Rd South, Tsim Sha Tsui. Tel: 2328 6632). The name suggests roast goose, but I especially like their roasted suckling pig. For roast goose, I prefer Yung’s Roast Goose Restaurant (Vico Mansion, 3-5 Nanking St, Jordan. Tel: 2327 0988).
A dinner favourite is Tempura Tenon (11/F, L’Hart, 487-489 Lockhart Road, Causeway Bay. Tel: 6085 0243). They offer a great omakase menu. The new menu serves around eight dishes and you can add more. There are more than 30 items to choose from if you prefer to dine à la carte.
For a late-night snack, Yardbird (154-158 Wing Lok Street, Sheung Wan. Tel: 2547 9273) is still my go-to place. I love their chicken Achilles skewer and clams yakisoba.
