Amanda’s Recommendations

In the city, we love to eat on the terrace at Gaia for Italian food; I also adore spicy Sichuan food and must recommend the new restaurant in Alexandra House – Grand Majestic Sichuan, whose Mandarin Orange Beef is heavenly!

I think a Hong Kong pleasure is being able to have custom shoes and bags made, and the workmanship of Mayer Shoes Co in the Mandarin Oriental is as good as any in the world.

For a staycation, I have to say I love The Peninsula – perfectly situated for shopping, museums and with great restaurants and a lively view across the harbour.
