Authenticity is key
You don’t need to be a food expert to know who Anthony Bourdain was.
The late American chef, writer and TV show host visited Hong Kong three times for three different travel shows and was deeply impressed by the city’s diverse cuisine and culinary experiences. Tatler brings you his favourite 11 restaurants.
Bourdain was known for the authentic way he approached food and cooking. Similarly, authenticity is what the 2023 Hong Kong Film Awards best debut actor Sahal Zaman brought to his performance in The Sunny Side of the Street (2022), and what these fathers from the Tatler community are cultivating with their children through traditions and customs—and which you can give back to them by choosing a carefully picked present for Fathers’ Day this weekend.

A year after receiving the award, as well as a new level of popularity at school, Zaman has also gained a new understanding of what his film means to the local film industry.
