Sheung Wan / Central
Sheung Wan Central areas are filled with mainly finance and accounting offices and many expats work/live in the area which makes it a great area for little shops and restaurants around. Here's a list of some things to check out in these two areas.
+ You're in a new city, do something new like a yoga class at Yoga BamBam.
They have drop-in classes for $150HKD for a students first time visit to each Yoga BamBam teacher!
+ IFC mall is great because it's clean and you can go outside to get a nice harbor view. Swing on by if you feel the urge to do some shopping. If you'd rather relax and watch the clouds go by, head up to the rooftop of the IFC and you'll find a public area where you can relax just outside of the Red Bar.
+ The Peak, and naturally, the Tram that leads you to the peak. Here's how to get there.
+ The PMQ, as our friend Pierre from France would say "... it is more problant in context". In English, it's pretty impressive. The PMQ is a creative hub of artists who rent space at two refurbished buildings in Sheung Wan to show off their wares. You can find out more at pmq.org.hk
+ If you're already going to be around the PMQ, you should head up and down Hollywood Road to check out many of the galleries that are featured in the annual Hong Kong ArtWalk. Here's a neat map our trusty graphics guy made twice because he forgot to save his work. haha

Must-try Dishes: Iberian ham 36 months with toasted tomato bread: known as one of the best cured meats in the world, our Iberian ham is one of the best available on the market. Sourced from the famous Spanish black pig, it is salt-cured for 36 months in wooden boxes then removed & dried. At FoFo it is offered at a very affordable price and well-complemented by our typical Barcelona-style tomato bread.
Beef cheek cooked 5 hours with banana & passion fruit: A sticky & rich melt-in-the-mouth dish balanced by the tartness of the banana & passion fruit crispy roll, a blend of textures & flavors that should not be missed.
Crispy suckling pig: Before this dish arrives at your table, it has been slowed cooked for 12 hours under a specific temperature, then fully deboned and finally, seared to perfect its crispiness. The skin crunches in the mouth whilst the meat just seems to melt away – simply sensational!
Scallop ceviche, avocado & crispy shallots: A twist on the tradition for those who love scallops. This sashimi-style dish will dance across your palate, complemented by the creaminess of the avocado, the zing of lemongrass and lime as well as the crunchiness of the shallot – a must try.
Sautéed shrimps with garlic & chili: This traditional Spanish tapa is driven by fresh ingredients of the highest quality, simple but perfect, a flavor combination that requires nothing more than prawns, garlic, olive oil & chili.
Seared foie gras, scallop, beetroot, kumquat & popcorn powder: This is a spin on the traditional “Montadito” from the Basque region. We have adapted this tapa to combine land & sea, definitely visually pleasing with an amazing flavor combination. Something a little unique.
Fisherman’s Boston lobster soup: Rich & hearty to warm the soul, smooth and creamy to the tongue. This very traditional dish brings to the guest the best of what the sea has to offer in terms of freshness and taste.
El Willy’s Boston lobster paella: This outstanding dish is one perfected by the Spanish over hundreds of years. Simple in context but detailed in its execution, this dry paella is a journey through tradition and a destination most certainly not to be missed.

We'll be honest, this Eastern part of Hong Kong is pretty quiet. You'll be best suited to take the tram and ride it up to this area and sight see the whole way. We'd be remiss if we led you up here and left you hungry. Once here, you'll find some interesting restaurants around.
