Steph’s 852 Diary

I was born in Australia, raised in Hong Kong and educated in the UK, and have worked in London, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing. I frequently travel for work and for leisure (i.e. food!!), and my most visited cities include: New York, San Francisco, Paris, London, Rome, Athens, Sydney, Melbourne, Seoul, Osaka, Bangkok, Manila, Singapore, Taipei, Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu. Do drop me a line if you would like recommendations in any of these cities!

I started this blog, Steph’s 852 Diary, in 2012 when I was working in London, to keep my family and friends in Hong Kong (area code +852) posted about my foodie excursions, and I have continued writing ever since! I hope you enjoy reading my reviews as much as I enjoy writing them. Bon appétit! 🙂

    Hi Steph, I wanna say it’s really enjoyable to go through your blog as I am a “foodie” in search of good food in town all the time. And actually I am also an editor working for a lifestyle magazine. We are going to launch a new website in October and we need some contribution from bloggers who can share their experitse with our readers. There is a F&B section and I was thinking you might be one of the appropriate person that we can cooperate with. It will be great if you can share your food review in our website, so that our readers can have more idea where to look for good food. Meanwhile, I am sure you will gain more exposure as well. Let me know if you are interested in it! We can sit down and have a drink sometime when you are available. Love to hear from you! Cheers!

    Definitely one of the better reads out there! What would your top 5 restaurants in HK be?

    • Stephanie

      Hi George! It is very hard for me to come up with my top 5 across HK, but a few of my favourite NEW restaurants are: Hanabi, Ho Lee Fook, NOM, Seasons by Olivier E. and Vasco Fine Dining! Let me know what you think about these! 🙂

        Seasons and Hanabi both are somewhere on my list! Have you been to Lai Bun Fu?
        What about old eats?
