| Hong Kong's new pride and joy. |
Just a few hours before the untimely death of Steve Jobs half a world away, Asia’s obsession with all things Apple was on parade during last week’s “Autumn Festival” in Hong Kong. After braving the holiday mob at the brand new Apple store in the International Financial Center (a real Apple store, not a fake!), we later happened upon a futuristic sight at the luxe Philippe Starck designed Felix restaurant in Kowloon’s historic Penninsula Hotel.
We’d popped up to the bar for a bird’s eye view of Victoria Harbor’s Symphony of Lights....

but the real intrigue was downstairs on the main dining floor where a table of eight western businessmen ordered their dinner on individual interactive iPADS. Apparently the guests could digitally sample each menu item in photographic detail along with tasting notes on both food and extensive wine list. An amuse buoche to do James Bond proud – and an elegant tribute to Jobs' legacy.
