蔡瀾知己會

Just read in a magazine about this 蔡瀾知己會 (www.bobofanclub.com). It is all about 蔡瀾 and his recommended restaurants in Hong Kong. It also has some of his articles.

The Tourism Association of Hong Kong had put up a star rating system for restaurants a few years back, but it never takes off. No one knows the criteria of the rating, and I don't even know whether it is a 3-star or 5-star system. With the long track record of food commentator, everyone know 蔡瀾's criteria of recommendation: authentic and made with heart. No much, no less. And those are the only ingredients of making a good food. Most of the recommended restaurants are just small family businesses: husband and wife, brothers and sisters operating small noodle shops.

Most importantly, everyone can access the list online. It is going to be a new benchmark for quality restaurants in Hong Kong.
