Okinawa is the southern-most prefecture in the Japanese archipelago. It has a tropical climate. Its cuisine has Chinese and Southeast Asian culinary influences.
Okinawans are known for their longevity, and many experts attribute this to their healthy diet.
Hong Kong’s Most Popular Buffet Restaurant?
Buffet restaurants are extremely popular in Hong Kong, and the Harbourside Restaurant at the InterContinental is considered to be one of Hong Kong’s best buffet restaurants.
Many foodies would go so far as to say that the eatery is Hong Kong’s best buffet restaurant. It addition to the international and Asian fare which is served year-round, the popular outlet also features a specific culinary theme, which varies from time to time.
At the moment, for example, the focus  is on  Okinawan cuisine.
It’s always a good sign when local diners outnumber hotel guests, and local diners account for as much as 90% of custom at the Harbourside Restaurant.
While diners can order dishes off a la carte menus at breakfast, lunch and dinner, it is the buffets that attract the crowds.
The Harborside Restaurant is one of six food and beverage outlets at the hotel. Other outlets include …
- The Lobby Lounge – an informal hotel lobby lounge serving signature cocktails, all day snacks, and afternoon tea.
- Nobu InterContinental Hong Kong – innovative Japanese cuisine and sushi served in elegant contemporary surroundings.
- Spoon by Alain Ducasse – a fine dining restaurant serving contemporary French cuisine with one Michelin star.
- The Steakhouse Winebar + Grill – a casual restaurant serving grilled meats and fine wines.
- Yan Toh Heen – a fine dining Chinese restaurant serving Cantonese cuisine with two Michelin stars.
If the food and beverage outlets at the hotel have a “unique selling proposition” other than food, it would have to be their stellar harbour views.
Floor to ceiling picture windows offer what are arguably the best views of Victoria Harbour on either side of the busy harbour.

Okinawa’s indigenous vegetables were particularly interesting: their purple sweet potatoes are rich in flavonoids, carotenoids, vitamin E and lycopene, and the local bitter cucumbers, have been shown to lower blood sugar in diabetics.
Interesting! I’ve heard that the people in Okinawa have the world’s longest life expectancy. Could it have something to do with their diet?
