The waterfront promenade is the perfect place to spend a weekend afternoon, from biking along the sea to tucking into international eats in al-fresco locations with the family. Venture out of the nearby shopping malls and soak in the summer sun at these Tseung Kwan O Waterfront restaurants.

For fresh pasta: Pici

For foodies in-the-know, Pici needs no introduction thanks to its citywide presence that spans from bustling Soho to its flagship in Wan Chai. This Pirata Group pasta specialist serves delicious fresh daily-made Italian dishes that fulfil home-cooked cravings in a buzzing neighbourhood space. From the aromatic tagliolini truffle to the hearty classical lasagna, Pici has something for everyone. We strongly suggest trying the tasting menu to nibble a bit of everything, but remember to save room for dessert – the panna cotta is divine. – CSP Times
