A great turn-out for this year’s fair.
This year’s Restaurant & Bar Hong Kong 2011 fair at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre was a festival of sights, aromas, tastes and, of course, fountains of fine liquids that would make any party thrown by Bacchus pale in comparison. Well, if he partied in Hong Kong that is!
Fair-goers were treated to numerous varieties of fine wines from all over the world that would make any connoisseur swoon. For foodies, there were various stalls offering mouth-watering samples that made everyone come back for seconds and thirds.
But that wasn’t the only thing on offer at the fair as convention-goers could also look at furniture, catering devices and even Crocs! So, if you haven’t gotten yourself down to this year’s Restaurant & Bar Fair then hop in a cab right now before you miss out on all the fun.

Share a bacon-fused Bloody Mary with Joseph the Duck.
Madam Sixty Ate is a new restaurant in Wan Chai that is definitely for those interested in an adventurous dining experience.
The chefs are former W Hong Kong and Sydney kitchen culinary directors and have definitely created some interestingly named dishes like Joseph the Duck (roasted duck and confit leg), Pig in Sheep’s Clothing (slow cooked Mangalista pork belly) and For Stanley (halibut with cauliflower, bacon and squid ink ragout).
But what makes us go back for more is the interior design led by founder/designer Bronwyn Cheung, designer Nany Yuen Parker and branding creative director Maxime Dautresme who have given Madam Sixty Ate a unique story and look you won’t find anywhere else in Hong Kong.

Photo gallery from Day 1 at HOFEX 2011.
We’re sending up a stream of photos from the first day at HOFEX 2011 – well, we’re going to concentrate mostly on the wine and spirits side of the show but we’ll definitely be wandering up to Hall 3 to try out all the food.
We turned our booth in Hall 1A into a Winebuzz TV studio and interviewed the movers and shakers in the Hong Kong wine scene. So, while those are being edited for you for your viewing pleasure tomorrow morning we thought we’d give you a quick photo gallery of some of the sights and wines of HOFEX 2011.

Stellar turn-out for Spanish wine lovers.
Vintelligence is a wine club in Wan Chai tucked away neatly on Thompson Road and this past Saturday we dropped by the Spanish Wine Tasting that was held there.
Several of Hong Kong’s biggest wine distributors brought out their very best Spanish wines and were all very enthusiastic about Hong Kong’s recent building interest in Spanish as well as Italian wines.
Those tasting could order from Vintelligence and arrange for delivery the next day and we of course highly encourage Winebuzz readers to come out for all tastings in Hong Kong to really get an idea of the choices that out there and get some information before buying.
Sommelier Danny Wong did a talk about the different types of Spanish wines and regions as well as a blind tasting competition. The only thing that was missing was some Spanish tapas, but Viva Ana was only a 5-minute walk away and where we took those still craving more Spanish wines to afterwards.

A great turnout for Hong Kong’s trade and tasting show this year.
Following up on our first day coverage, this year’s Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Fair 2010 has come to a close and, compared to last year, you can easily see that it’s grown by at least 50%.
Australia was the partner country this year with a vast pavilion dead center of the main hall, flanked by Spain and all the Hong Kong distributors. France, South Africa and Argentina poured out into a second hall to accomodate the record number of exhibitors this year.
