Hong Kong has 11 entries in ‘Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021‘ with local Cantonese restaurant The Chairman replacing last year’s numero uno Singapore’s Odette in top spot.

The very subjective list is compiled and voted on by over 300 ‘leaders’ in Asia’s culinary field including journalists, food critics, chefs, restaurateurs and culinary experts.

Quite how it can pretend to be remotely objective this year when travel and dining out have been extensively curtailed… But congratulations to the local restaurants listed.

The local restaurants in this year’s ‘Top 50’ are Vea (16),  Neighbourhood (17), Belon (25), Caprice (28), Otto e Mezzo Bombana (33), Amber (37), Ta Vie (38), Mono (44), Lung King Heen (47) and Seventh Son (48).

The only Macau entry is Wing Lei Palace in 50th spot.

Angel’s, New Filipino Restaurant in Wanchai

On the sliver of O’Brien Road that connects Hennessy Road and Lockhart Road, the tasty Indian hole in the wall Masala Train has reached the end of the track. New at the A2 entrance to Wanchai MTR is Angel’s.

Strangely given the number living in the city, there are not many Filipino restaurants around. As well as a menu that features the classics like tapsilog, adobe, lechon and sisig there are daily blackboard specials. So if you’re looking to tease your tastes buds with something different call an Angel.
