According to the South China Morning Post, Cecilia Wong, who is a wine and spirits commentator and holds the position of president of the Hong Kong Wine & Spirits Writers Association, has expressed a serious approach to food. She appreciates flavors from Shanghainese, Vietnamese, Cantonese, and Chiu Chow traditions, in addition to classic Italian cuisine.

Speaking with Andrew Sun, Wong noted that growing up in a family of enthusiastic epicures, particularly her father, meant that food was viewed as an education in seasonal nuances rather than mere sustenance. As a wine and spirits critic, her method of dining centers on curation, focusing on precision, texture, and the harmony of flavors.

Among her preferred choices for a midday break is Hao Tang Hao Mian, located at Shop B, Fashion Walk, 9-11 Cleveland Street, Causeway Bay, with the telephone number 2374 1128. She describes the noodles as the pinnacle of Cantonese comfort, noting that the broth possesses significant depth and umami without being heavy, which complements the al dente noodles perfectly, making it her preferred meal for a midday reset.
