We’d heard a lot of good things about Zaks from the DB crowd and so, finally, we boarded a ferry to give it a try. And boy, were we impressed. Set over two levels, including a whopping 5,000-square-foot terrace overlooking the beach, it’s a contemporary space serving seafood, steaks, burgers and modern Asian dishes—not unlike its sister restaurants in the Jaspas Group. While Zaks might not serve the best seafood in town, it’s up there given the price range.

Try the king prawns, grilled in sea salt with mashed potato, or the seafood risotto—sweet seafood on a heaping portion of creamy risotto. No wonder some DB folk are practically living there.
Fagara is an educational experience. Sichuan cuisine has long been inextricably linked to spicy, fiery onslaughts. Head chef Robert Wong reminds us that this generalization doesn’t capture the full diversity of the cooking style. He offers some deeper culinary insight into the three taste sensations known as “Ma,” “La,” and “Tang.” Your journey at Fagara should begin with soothing, tastebud-opening Tang dishes, followed by numbing Ma dishes, and finish with hot, climatic La dishes.

These are wonderful contrasts, accentuated even further by spices imported directly from Sichuan. The Dungeness crab and the chili wontons are unbelievable.

A resort-style atmosphere right on the waterfront, replete with palm trees and umbrellas its namesake author and bon vivant would surely approve of. The vibe is very laid back, with pilots on their day off, housewives with kids camping out during the day, returning office workers by night. A slow pace the servers seem thankful for as they cool off in the shade while the customers seem to enjoy baking in the hot sun. Few places in Hong Kong can claim to make authentic Key Lime pie and Jamaican jerk chicken and a real Antiguan rum punch.
