One thing to understand about Cantonese fare is its underlying concept of
yin and yang. In Taoist culture, a balance between the two creates
healthiness, and this carries over into eating. Vegetables are seen as "yin"
(which pertains to female and cool energy), whereas meat is considered
"yang" (which pertains to male and warm energy), while rice and noodles are
seen as neutral. Therefore, most Cantonese meals will have equal parts yin,
yang, and neutral to achieve the right healthy balance.

Local rosewood is used throughout, giving a rich depth to the decor. Around the walls hang 10 exclusively commissioned original silk paintings by David Wong, depicting traditional Mandarins.

The Michelin-starred Nobu chain just opened a Hong Kong restaurant in
December 2006. Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, the pioneer of Japanese haute cuisine
ever since his first Nobu opened back in 1994, has set up shop within the Intercontinental Hotel on the Kowloon side, with stunning views directly
overlooking Victoria Bay. Nobu's newest restaurant in his mini-empire (the
15th worldwide location) features all the refinement and omakase (from the
heart) that diners have come to expect. The inventive Japanese dishes
offered at his other outposts are all here, although future plans may
include Chinese tastes. His black cod with miso, yellowtail with jalapeño,
tiradito Nobu style, and lobster with pepper sauce are as fantastic as
always.
Bo, or as it's commonly known, "Bo Innovation," is an astounding new
restaurant run by an iconoclastic acoustic engineer-cum-chef, Alvin Leung
Jr. This 50-seat spot on Ice House Street near Lan Kwai Fong features truly
atypical cuisine that is heavy on the wow factor. Intimate, with a slightly
minimalist decor of black, gold, and wood, Bo is hot. I enjoyed Leung's
unique take on the traditional lap mei fan (basically assorted dried meats,
especially liver, and rice) which he turned into a delicate dollop of
pork-sausage ice cream! (Yes, you read that correctly.) "I'm creating modern
Chinese -- but I'm not fusing anything! There's a purpose in every dish,"
states Leung emphatically. A serious student of molecular gastronomy who
wears his hair long in gray blue-streaked locks, Leung is well-known for his
over-the-top personality and innovative dishes.
Opia, nestled in the swank Jia Hotel in Causeway Bay, is appointed in
dense and powerful tones of red, mauve, blue, and black that complement the
elegant cuisine. Ex-Melbourne executive chef Dan Clouston, a student of über-Aussie
Teague Ezard, dishes out fabulous oyster shooters, fascinating exotic salads
flown in from Australia, crispy pork hocks, tender lamb dishes, and great
Thai spiced rolls. It also offers a great pre-or after-dinner scene for
sipping some Dom, Krug, or Cristal.
