<I-O-N - The Grand Cafe in Revitalized Central Market> After a lengthy period of revitalization, Central Market is finally opened again with quite a number of fancy restaurants and cafes. I-O-N is one of them. I visited shortly after the opening of revitalized Central Market, and it’s understandable that the restaurant staff lacked a bit of coordination regarding usher, order taking, payment, etc. Nevertheless, their good service attitudes made up for the hassles during soft opening stage. Coffee here is more on the expansive side. For HKD$48 (plus a 10% service charge), I got a cup of small flat white, even though it’s a legit and delicious one. The hand drip coffee can go up to HKD$188 a cup, brace yourself and your wallet. Food is more reasonably priced. They let you pick up to 4 different types of nibbles for a small platter. I am so glad with this as I got to try more appealing snacks on the menu! I picked French fries with salted egg yolk, field salmon cakes, deep-fried popcorn shrimp with garlic chili sauce and Kung Pao beef tenderloin with Sichuan pepper. All of them tasted so good and they were freshly served. The salted egg yolk fries were rightly flavored and not overly salty. The salmon cakes were filled with quite a lot of salmon, very filling indeed. The deep-fried popcorn shrimp wasn’t quite what I expected, but they tasted good in the garlic chili sauce. The hot Kung Pao beef tenderloin did give me a nice surprise! Highly recommend you to try out the fusion snacks! I just couldn’t resist this cloudy Cheesecake. It tasted supreme. The rich cheese flavor was a bit milky also! The bits of chocolate on top were surprisingly delicious too! Awesome!

From the moment you step into Hong Kong's Central Market, you're swept into a vibrant tapestry of culture, cuisine, and urban charm. It's not just a market; it's the gateway to the renowned Central-Mid-Levels escalator, offering a unique journey through the bustling streets of the city. But what sets Central Market truly apart is its one-of-a-kind European deli. As an aficionado of global tastes, I was thrilled to find a European deli right here, boasting the rare delicacy of authentic German pretzels—baked to perfection with a delightfully crispy crust and a soft, chewy interior. It’s a taste of Germany right in the heart of Hong Kong! Beyond the sumptuous eats, Central Market serves as a cultural hotspot, buzzing with energy and adorned with a mix of traditional and contemporary designs. It's a place where locals and tourists alike mingle, offering insights into the daily life and dynamic spirit of Hong Kong. Whether you're on a quest for delicious international treats, planning to ride the longest escalator system in the world, or simply soaking in the local atmosphere, Central Market will not disappoint. A perfect blend of history, convenience, and delicious adventures—this place is a must-visit!

In a bid to re-inject some life back into this Central landmark, the Chinachem group and the Urban Renewal Authority have today reopened this newly suited and booted refurbishment in the heart of the city. It seems to be preempting a tourist resurgence once this pandemic is over and globetrotting resumes. In the meantime, the locals will get to evaluate the facilities at this dress rehearsal cum honeymoon stage. It clearly has one foot in its past glory, the original Stalls, certain signs, fixtures and fittings have been preserved. It is early days but this edifice has potential to be more than another place to have Happy Hour drinks. For now it needs to re-establish its identity in an office dominant metropolis. It will be interesting to see how this project develops.

If you wanted to find a place to chill yourselves up with HK local beers and gins, this renovated market would be a perfect place as it has several shops selling authentic snacks such as the egg-waffles. There are some pop-up stores selling hand-made sauces, handcrafts and maps. However, it is not a good place to learn the history of HK traditional wet market. It is kind of pretentious spot for tourists. There are only photo exhibition, empty booth with original interior designs and one shop decorating as an old grocery shop selling rice. Personally, they are only illusion as they do not have lively people operating the traditional booths. Suggest to visit the Pottinger street outside this market if you want to experience the real and energetic market in HK.

Went there for the food and I was blown away. A wide variety of food that you are spoilt for choice. Very clean as well. The food is a bit pricey though but after eating you forget the price tag. I now find myself comparing the same dishes in other restaurants and it's not the same as here. Definitely the place to go for delicious, healthy food. It also has a pizza hut in there and a 7+cafe by 7/11 and they make mean slushies and cocktails that blow your mind away. Best place to lay a foundation in your tummy if you're planning on partying at the famous LKF street since it's only 6 minutes away. You won't regret.
