Classified’s Cheese Room is located next to the Press Room on Holywood Road. As the name indicates, it’s primarily a shop that sells cheese to the upmarket crowd, but they also have a few tables where you can taste the chef’s very good recipes, not all of them involving cheese.
The food is surprisingly good and fresh, and the atmosphere more prone for your SUnday morning relaxation if you go there for brunch than in the neighboring Press Room.
I’d recommend the soups and risotto. Also try the huge bowls of coffee, cappuccino or hot chocolate. Worth it!

There’s a very nice little site featuring archives on Hong Kong tramways, aviation activities, etc. It’s at hongkongheritage.org. The site currently focuses on archives from the Kadoorie family, but I understand it is bound to expand.

There are a couple of cool Hong Kong-related widgets over at widgetbox.

It’s so easy to create a widget that I quickly made one using my pictures.

Recently added to my Hong Kong reading list.

• Pete Spurrier’s The Serious Hiker’s Guide to Hong Kong, one of the many useful hiking guides for Hong Kong. There are so many trails and scenic paths that you will welcome having a guidebook.

• Food is one of the reasons why many people on a visit to Hong Kong. Get Tatler’s Best Restaurants or the WOM guide, the Hong Kong equivalent to New York’s Zagat.

• The Hong Kong Explorer Guide is one of the two must-have books for expats setting up home in Hong Kong for a while.
