  1. Best Pizza: Interval

    From the people that brought you Cut Sando Bar, INTERVAL is, defiantly, not a pizzeria. Instead, it’s an all-day café that serves up excellent sourdough pizzas — alongside glasses of wine, swirls upon swirls of pasta and an urban farm at their Cyberport location. So you know those herbs sitting atop melted cheese are fresh from the stem.

    - Interval, (various locations), Cyberport, Shop 207, Level 2, Arcade, 100 Cyberport Rd, Pok Fu Lam, Hong Kong, +852 2380 3498

  2. Best Burger: Honbo

    Honbo's motto is 'Real Good Burger', and that's exactly what founder Michael Chan has been feeding his native Hong Kong since opening in March 2017. With Double Gold American beef imported from Wisconsin topped with Hong Kong local ingredients, it's easy to see why Honbo has become a beloved local favourite in such a short time.

  3. Best Char Siu: Mott 32

    Your saunter down, down, down to Mott 32 is a path paved with delicious anticipation. It might be the pre-ordered applewood-roasted Peking duck you’re salivating for. Or, the Barbecue Puma Iberico Pork, succulent, smothered and shiny with a signature Yellow Mountain honey glaze over top. Trust — you’ll want seconds.

    - Mott 32, Standard Chartered Bank Building, 4-4A Des Voeux Rd Central, Central, Hong Kong, +852 2885 8688

  4. Best Noodle: TamJai SamGor

    There is the humdrum mixian noodle, then there's TamJai SamGor. Holding court in their new-this-year LKF location (amongst many, many others), this is where homey, comforting bowls of slurpy noodles can be personalised to perfection. Don't sleep on the thin-sliced pork belly smothered with mashed garlic, too.

  5. Best Fried Chicken: Honky Tonks Tavern

    From the creators of another fan favourite, Shady Acres, comes Honky Tonks — probably the only dive bar with a weekly oyster special. Chef Andy mast is a magician when it comes to frying up a good bird, from a Harlem-style chicken and waffles plate to the tenderest tenders in town.

  7. Best Pastry: Bakehouse

    You'd recognise Bakehouse for the cobalt blue paper bags with orange handles that are toted around the Soho slopes, but you'd love Bakehouse for its signature sourdough egg tarts, ingeniously ideated by renowned pastry chef and baker Gregoire Michaud. Make a stop for the doughnuts, too. It’ll be worth it.

    - Bakehouse, (various locations), 14 Tai Wong St E, Wan Chai, Hong Kong

  8. Best Cantonese Dessert: Dragon-i

    Decadent desserts may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Dragon-i, Wyndham's long-time nightlife destination, but it's also a favourite for foodies, who mean it when they recommend the delicious dim sum, and a sago that will satisfy any sweet tooth.

  9. Best Dumpling: Megan's Kitchen
