Most eateries that feed the legendary epicurean appetites of Hong Kong’s urbanites are concentrated in high-density residential and business hubs like Central, Wanchai and Causeway Bay. It’s a daring spirit indeed who opts to eschew these hotspots in favour of a more off-the-beaten-path locale, but such is the case of one new Italian restaurant – Casa Cucina &amp; Bar – that has popped up in a less frequented stretch of Sai Ying Pun.

Nestled on the corner of Connaught Road and Western Street, this highway-fronting three-storey venue was, by the admission of chef-owner Anthony Cheung, something of a gamble. “I originally wanted to open an eight-seat pasta bar, but in the end, the amazing rent of this location was just too tempting to resist,” he explains. Despite its capacious footprint, however, there’s something distinctly homely and welcoming about Casa’s interiors, where warm pinks, beige and orange embrace the 66 seats.

The food is also wonderfully hearty and accessible, focusing more on small family-style sharing platters rather than hefty mains and carbohydrates. “I want diners to experience Italy in my dishes,” says Cheung, “but I want to do it with my own unique style, with an emphasis on high-quality produce and a dash of Hong Kong mixed in as well.”

Eager to see his philosophy in practice, we begin our tasting with a cold appetiser, Scallop Carpaccio. A refreshing opening act, the creaminess of the thick slivers of raw scallop is enhanced with crunchy bites of seaweed and fried garlic. Cutting through the oceanic accents is a dash of pineapple juice, which imparts a hint of sweetness. 
Next up is Duck Ragu Pappadelle, a Casa signature. The poultry is painstakingly braised in its own jus, while the perfectly al dente pasta enjoys a special richness thanks to the judicious addition of chicken liver parfait and cocoa powder. Soul satisfying without being overwhelmingly heavy, this is truly comfort food at its finest.

Then, a platter of Lamb Rack hovers into view, featuring three perfectly cooked ribs atop a bed of Cajun-spiced potato wedges. The New Zealand grass-fed lamb’s melt-in-your-mouth factor is, apparently, the result of careful preparation in the oven. It is the accompanying Madeira- and green peppercorn-infused sauce, though, lifts the flavour profile of the entire plate, bequeathing it with a memorable tingly spiciness.

Chef Cheung then shifts the focus back to the ocean with Cod Acqua Pazza – literally ‘cod in crazy water’. His particular iteration of the traditional fish stew, long a staple in coastal Italy, sees the fish in question braised alongside clams in a tangy blend of clam juice, tomatoes and olives. In keeping with the rustic nature of the dish, the accompanying slices of bread can be then dipped into the soup after the seafood has been consumed.

Although our appetites are already well and truly satiated, we manage to make room for the concluding course, Tofu Panna Cotta. Here, the traditional panna cotta is coated with red sugar – a staple topping for Hong Kong’s iconic ‘tofu fa’ dessert – and a splash of soy flavour, which meld to impart an umami-filled caramel sauce. Deceptively simple, it is perhaps this singular dish that best showcases Chef Cheung’s personal style and culinary vision, harmoniously fusing flavours from both East and West for a memorable dessert that’s far greater than the sum of its parts.

Casa in Point: Sai Ying Pun’s homely cucina offers a hearty Italian fare

Live Zero in Sai Ying Pun is the city&#8217;s first packaging-free, zero-waste store
On the 1st of February 2018, a bright little shop on the quieter side of High Street opened its doors to the public. Little did passers-by know that it was a brave pioneer in the 852 scene, as the territory&#8217;s&nbsp;first, zero-waste, bulk-buy shop.
The goal? To begin a movement that changes the way people purchase their necessities, returning us to how we humans were prior to plastic.&nbsp;

It&#8217;s not easy to go plastic-free in Hong Kong. Scant legislation on&nbsp;product packaging and waste management has prevented the development of a &#8216;mature waste market&#8217; like that of nearby Japan. However, what with the emergence of <a href="https://www.edgar.hk/">Edgar</a> in Tsim Sha Tsui, and now&nbsp;Live Zero&nbsp;in Sai Ying Pun, things are looking up. Maybe Hong Kong&#8217;s landfills won&#8217;t <a href="http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170427-hong-kong-has-a-monumental-waste-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explode in 2020</a> after all, as experts have predicted. Or it can even be as simple as having clean waters to swim in and trash-free beaches to enjoy.
Millennial 25-year-old interior designer Tamsin Thornburrow is behind the small business, which stocks a range of products from foodstuffs to personal care items. The entrepreneur has spent the last year researching brands and suppliers to feature on Live Zero&#8217;s shelves. Customers can come in with their own empty containers and fill them up with what they need, purchase pretty recyclable ones, or use whatever others have donated and left free-for-the-taking on the table by the door.&nbsp;

Thornburrow studied&nbsp;landscape architecture and previously worked for a furniture company and a homeware retailer. At 22, she launched Thorn and Burrow, a home decor shop specialising in textiles. It was there she noticed a significant appetite for reusable packaging, when sales for her stocked S&#8217;well&nbsp;stainless steel water bottles picked up.&nbsp;
The young activist-entrepreneur then opened the first iteration of Live Zero in PMQ, Central. Then, after gleaning advice from similar setup&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beunpackaged.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Unpackaged</a> in London, she decided to dive headfirst and lease the space on High Street for a full-on eco-friendly venture.
