A Watershed Moment
Circle of Life • Since 1984, the Tatler Dining Guide has been a publication that celebrates the very best of dining in Hong Kong—not only the chefs, restaurateurs, sommeliers and more that make up the culinary scene, but the people and themes that make this city all the more special. Beginning in 2022, we have tasked local artistic talents to give us their interpretation of what the city’s gastronomy means to them. This year, bornand-bred Hongkonger Kinchoi Lam illustrates what was the centre of culinary life for him while growing up.
