To-Try list in HK - Winter 2010

Once again,
I have compiled a (rather personal) list of notable restaurants that are worth a try
(...and hopefully not a waste of time...)
Here's the HK version for this winter.

(In case you are interested, the London Fall version is here)

Bon appétit!

Chinese

阿鴻小吃*, North Point
平民化新派潮式滷水店,
who wants to go queue with me?

明閣*, Mong Kok
"明閣的石斑薑旦荷葉飯是一道拍案叫絕的料理...在這道豐富且令人感動的料理中，集所有美味之大成：石斑魚的鮮甜、欖仁的辛辣、以及以蛋汁完美包覆的大米。"- 香港最佳米飯 CNNGo.com #1

French

Cafe Gray Deluxe*, Admiralty
Early Supper (before 6:30pm) only $295 for 3 courses. How can you resist?

Mirror, Wanchai
By Alain Ducasse 's apprentice Jeremy Biasiol.
Possibly the "hottest table" in town... (?)

Italian

8 1/2 Otto e mezzo**, Central
New on the 2011 Michelin list, and the only Italian with stars.

Japanese

Fusion

Horray Bar and Restaurant, Causeway Bay
