Today, as I walked down Anton Street with a friend I came into a winery and surprise! It was 'Castello del Vino' shop! It's a lot smaller than I had imagined but they have a great variety of wines, especially Italian ones, from everywhere in Italy in fact. The guy at the shop was busy on the phone so my friend and I started to look around for some smooth red wine. Not only they have wines and some food, but also some hand-painted ceramics from Deruta, Italy, which really caught our attention as they didn't seem to fit in. Besides Italian wines, they have some shelves devoted to Spanish, New Zealand, Australian and French wines, among others. The Spanish selection is good and the prices range from 80HKD to more than 500HKD per bottle. What I liked the most about it though is that they have some traditional Spanish and Italian products like olives, canned fish, vegetables and legumes. As it is more Italian-focused, pasta was expected to be there too. And finally, they have a refrigerator with different kind of French cheeses and some Italian cold cuts. They carry monthly discounts on selected wines and you can check them out online. So I had finally dismantled the mystery...and now I may actually come back as some of the Spanish wines seemed very reasonably priced for their quality.

For a true homesick brit, this M& S store does provide you with some level of comfort in the form…read moreof food from home. To be honest this place doesn't break any new boundaries nor presents anything that is ground breaking; its still the good old M&S store with their food items. You could find that with any other M&S store. The only difference is that this place does only that- it sells food and nothing else, which to be me is great because it does without the boring parts (I haven't bought a suit from M&S at least). Someone must have told the M&S people about this particular vacant site because they could not have chosen a better location to set up a food shop. With the bridge from the North Wanchai office towers going towards Queens Road East, this is the perfect place to stop by and grab something whether you are walking back home or taking the MTR. Moreover, there's a gym upstairs (was) which also caters for some people who go to the gym after work. The food is the standard fare and exactly as I want it- Shepherds Pie, Yorkshire Pudding and bourbon chocolate biscuits. yes its 30 degrees out there but I don't care, I miss the rain and the greyness so the closest I can get is with some proper grub. There is also a huge selection of frozen food items ranging from pies to pizzas so there's something for everyone. A small wine selection is also there and I am happy to report that its not as poor as I thought it would be. Never thought i'd say this but good on ya, M&S!

It's funny, I have an image of quality and tasty food for M&S and a really poor one for their…read moreclothes. I used to live in the UK and, honestly, even though I liked it, I barely bought anything there unless it was really especial, like some cheeses that I couldn't find in Sainsbury's. But I must admit that I was happy to see M&S here in Hong Kong. And this branch is right downstairs from my gym so I walk past every other day. I can't recall the number of times I've been inside checking something out and haven't bought anything. It's just not worth it, it's SO EXPENSIVE! Just as an example, a little 150 gr. bag of nuts is around 45HKD...come on! And that applies to pretty much anything. If you like ready made 'English' food (sounds appealing huh?) you may like it as that's what they are really good at. You pay a higher price for the convenience but it's good. Two good things about his place: cheese and wine. The cheese selection is not greater than any other supermarket and around the same price, but you can find a couple of odd cheeses there, different from the range at other stores. And I'm a fan of their wines. I found a great one there, that a friend recommended to me, it's a Spanish garnacha grape wine called La Sabrosita. It's a thick red wine priced at less than 100HKD and I love it. For such a small store, the space taken by wines and the selection they have is really impressive. Okay, their chocolates are okay too (I only care for dark ones though). They only have a couple but it's great to find different brands from the main supermarket chains. And this applies to every other item in their store.

Morty's was rated as one of the best sandwich restaurants in HK, we were certainly excited to try it and didn't mind the price. The sandwiches are priced comparable to many delis in the States. The quality though, is subpar and not very authentic. We were quite disappointed. Pastrami in the Reuben was chewy and fries tasted like home made air fryer fries. French dip - a bit better than the Reuben, but still tasted like frozen ones from Costco. French dip was NOT served with Au Jus as stated on the menu, but gravy! Two stars for the attentive service. Sorry I really wanted to love it.

A lot of expats would get their lunch here because it is convenient, delicious and well-priced for what you are getting.  I got the Classic duck meat sandwich and it was the bomb. It was loaded with delicious juicy duck as well as avocado, lettuce, tomato and onion on rye bread. The bread was crispy, and the fatness of the duck meat was just right. Actually duck fat is food for you anyways, so no need to worry at all about feeling guilty after eating the whole sandwich, because you will. We also tried the Reuben where the meat was a bit on the dry side, but expected from pastrami. It was nevertheless still very food. Overall, while I am typing this post, I am drooling just thinking about those sandwiches. I want more of those delicious duck meat on rye bread. Excuse me while I run and get some haha.

Main St. Deli is a very acceptable place to grab a quick burger or sandwich if you're craving…read moreAmerican cuisine and you're in the area, but it doesn't quite live up to the quality of the other restaurants in the Langham Hotel or nearby in the Tsim Sha Tsui area more generally. The restaurant is located on the bottom floor of the Langham Hotel and, when we arrived for dinner on a Monday night, was nearly empty. Perhaps unsurprisingly, service was excellent and fast, and the restaurant is tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Unlike what the name of the restaurant implies, the menu is not focused solely on New York City foods. Rather it is broadly American, with items from New York cuisine, Tex Mex cuisine, southern American cuisine, and others. I had a cheeseburger and fries and also tried the eggs Benedict. The burger was exceptionally well cooked, juicy and tender, but perhaps a bit underseasoned. The fries were similarly underseasoned but well cooked, just like the burger. The eggs were pretty good but nothing spectacular. Prices are very high and perhaps a little too high considering quality and portion size. Overall a good experience at Main St. Deli but one that I wouldn't recommend going too far out of your way to try.

Located conveniently across the street from the Wanchai MTR, Exit A Lockhard Road, there is a 7-11 right across from it. They have different servings during the three periods of the day. And since it's a street stall with street snacks/food; it is really very cheap and cheery! -- The morning has your typical congee, street food (curry fish balls and other fried stuff) and fried vermicelli (2 variations: 1 is soy sauce based vegetarian, the other has ham). -- During mid-day, they will offer a lunch option with rice or noodles with an assortment of stir fry toppings. -- Evening/night snack is the morning stuff revamped... and you can also get these freshly made delish waffles with peanut butter, condensed milk and sugar topping. Simply the best here, others in Causeway Bay, Mongkok and TTS has not done a good job like Ada. When Ada was closed for 5 days during the Chinese New Year, I was really sad, so this place does really make you look forward to street snacks! So what if the ladies here (all ladies, my brother noticed and said that's probably why the food is so good) can be rudish when you appear you are not ready? That's HK street food style in general - don't waste my time and when you know I am there for you, and don't take it personal.

It's conveniently located covering a full corner, just across the MTR Exit C, and the end of the 'red part' of Lockhart Road. They close at around 11pm so it's the place to grab something quick before or after a drink in Wan Chai. First time I saw the place I was walking towards Causeway Bay and it reminded me of the ones I had seen on the Kowloon side. I tried to think of similar places around this district, or the ones close by, and couldn't come up with any but the one on the corner close to Times Square. Ada is in fact one of those last street food stalls that remains in this area despite it being turned into big chains propriety for the most part. That's why it's unique. The food, as a proper street food 'restaurant' is nothing special but you know what you get. Actually, you see everything on display and even being cooked in front of your eyes. Appearance wise, I find it charming. Okay, it's a little run down, looks dirty and old but charming nevertheless. It's definitely not the place to have a snack every day and I wouldn't recommend it for its food, but I hope it will stay around for a long time and keep that part of Hong Kong spirit a little more alive.

I've grown up largely on western cuisine, so anytime I had an opportunity to eat it while living /…read morestaying for long periods of time in Asia, it's always a welcome sight. The deli scene in Hong Kong is next to zero, but Morty's is here to fill that void. This Wan Chai location is not really near the MTR. They're sandwiched in between Admiralty and Wan Chai but is most easily accessible from Hennessy Rd and up a couple of blocks onto Wing Fung St. The restaurant looks like a small diner on the beginning of an street incline. Parking is a near impossibility. It's a narrow, tight squeeze but they've still made room for all sorts of group action, including an outdoor table in their courtyard. Ventilation is quite good and there are TVs for watching sports on the inside. It's generally well lit and clean, which is sometimes all we can ask for. The food is not going to win awards from smoked meat purists, but it'll do the job. They offer a classic pastrami as well as a reuben and some interesting smoked meat burgers and a short rib sandwich that is supposedly cooked for 72 hours via sous vide. They also have a rare item in poutine (#1), which is true to form with cheese curds, a little pastrami, and topped off with homemade gravy. They also have hot dogs, specialty sandwiches (#3), salads, and they even a have plant based options. The latter includes a cubano, burgers, and a mushroom version of their popular reuben. I also appreciate that they care about their bread so much that they actually have ciabatta, baguette, rye, or even a bagel. I think I'm most impressed with their drink selection, which includes cocktails, wine, beer, and soda options. The bottomless iced lemon tee makes me chuckle, but I'm likely to shoot for their rootbeer float ($75HKD), which is totally alcoholic. Overall, I'm not mad at the food. It's smaller than I expected (#2). I find that $160-170HKD is a little pricey for their signature sandwiches, but I get that they're also gauging prices the way they are in North America. Would likely come back when I feel like bleeding money and eating smoked meats. __________ (#1) Trust me. It's rare. We barely have it in Houston, TX where I'm based! (#2) Foodflation around the world, food shrinkage in Asia. Portions R not us.
