$ Fotogalerie, Fringe Club, 2/F 2 Lower Albert Rd, Central, T 2521 7251. 1200-2300, closed Sun. Wonderful location and value for a wholesome tasty buffet lunch, 1200-1400, Mon-Fri, plus tapas and light meals, 1400-2230. On Friday and Saturday evenings the tiny rooftop terrace has a barbecue buffet, overlooked by Centrals tower blocks. A bohemian atmosphere, interesting art and photo exhibitions and live music downstairs. $ Good Luck Thai Food, G/F 13 Wing Wah Lane, Central, T 2877 2971. 0800-0200. Dining out in a grubby courtyard in an alleyway near ultra hip Lan Kwai Fong, tucking into tom yam soup or chicken with ginger and basil still seems to be popular, especially when people start spilling out of the bars. $ Koshary, G/F Shop A, 112-114 Wellington St, Central, T 2544 3886. 1030-2400. The café version of next-door Habibis serves traditional Middle Eastern street food like fatoush and grilled halloumi. Taste a good range of Egyptian flavours with a plate of mixed hot and cold starters. All meat is halal. $ Sheung Wan Gala Plaza. 1800-2400. Sheung Wans waterfront was redeveloped in early 2003 into a nightly collection of stalls, entertainment and food. The crowded outdoor tables are surrounded by food stalls selling crabs, huge prawns, mussels and more, along with simple dishes of noodles and vegetables, with beer and soft drinks. Great fun, especially for kids. $$$ Kokage, Starcrest, 9 Star St, Wan Chai, T 2529 6138. 1200-1500 Mon-Fri and 1800-2400 daily. Innovative Japanese cuisine in a hip part of town, immersed in dark wood and candlelight. Savour the miso-glazed butterfish with taro, crabmeat tempura, or 6-hour roasted suckling pig with miso clam broth, all in a sumptuous atmosphere with attentive service. $$ Amaronis Little Italy, 213 Queens Rd East, Wan Chai, T 2891 8855. 1100-2400. $$ R66, 62/F Hopewell Centre, 183 Queens Rd East, Wan Chai, T 2862 6166. 1200-2300. HH 1700-2000. The citys only revolving restaurant (takes 66 minutes for each revolution) but come for the view, not the food. The best option is to enjoy afternoon tea (1430-1800) while gazing at the panorama of the city and surrounding hills. The unappetizing buffet lunch and dinner include sushi, noodles and western dishes. $$ Ye Shanghai, Level 3 Pacific Pl, 88 Queensway, Admiralty. T 2918 9833. 1130-1500, 1800-2400. $$-$ American Peking Restaurant, 20 Lockhart Rd, Wan Chai, T 2527 1000. An establishment that has been popular for years, ever since the American servicemen used the area for R&R in the 1950s. The cuisine is essentially Pekingese, so a great place to sample the famous Peking Duck. A huge restaurant with portions to match.
