Have Your Say – Daniel Clarke

Share

Daniel Clarke was born in England but grew up in New Zealand. When he came to Hong Kong, it was supposed to be the beginning of a world trip, but he got a foot in the door for TV work, and the rest, as they say, is history.

How long have you lived where you live?

We moved into our current house just under four years ago but I’ve lived on Lamma for around 20 years. Initially, I wanted to experience the ‘Big city lifestyle’, but I eventually chose to move to Lamma as I progressed in my career and needed more work/life balance.

Can you see yourself anywhere else?

I’d like to stay but it’s always good to have a backup plan. At the moment that would probably be Thailand.

What’s so great about your home/neighbourhood?

It’s the best of both worlds; real countryside and nature with easy access to high-tech world city resources at a moment’s notice.

Best little known gems?

Lamma Art Centre has classes, exhibitions, and all kinds of creative events.

Best places to eat breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner?

Jaybird’s all-day breakfast is great value. I like to have lunch on the Yung Shue Wan waterfront plenty of options to choose from, there. These days I mostly work from home so I make my own lunch rather than eat in town. When I work in town, it is usually at other people’s offices so it varies a lot. ABC Kitchen in Sheung Wan is a favourite for a special dinner.

Best places to drink coffee/find a drink?

The Beerbay… something for the ferry!
 

Best other hangouts?

The Beershack has great community – games, music, quizzes and people.

What’s true/not true about your neighbourhood?

It’s not as far you think. I can commute to Wanchai in about an hour door to door.
