New Floor Plan
We now have a new "Floor Plan at a Glance",
which features the Centre's new nomenclature, which
came into use on 1 May. Please take time to examine
the plan and familiarise yourselves with our new look
for your own convenience.

Serving Up Style
We're particularly excited to introduce the new F&B outlets
- Traders and New Shanghai - both of which are scheduled to
open in September, as well as the revamped Harbour Road Café,
which is set to get a completely new look with an artistic
twist!
Harbour Road Café, which opens this summer,
will be occupying a bigger location on the ground floor at
the Harbour Road Entrance. This space has the feel of a gallery,
and is designed to be both a relaxing and stimulating spot
to enjoy a cup of coffee, a snack - and also feast your eyes
on locally produced art.
Art pieces from Hong Kong artists and thematic products will
be displayed on the walls and shelves of the café. From time
to time we will also invite local artists to display their
work inside the café, as mini exhibitions. The café will serve
Lavazza coffee, sandwiches and freshly made bread, as before,
but lots of new food items will be added to the menu.
New Shanghai, on L1, will serve delicious Shanghai
noodles, dumplings and cold appetizers, and will be open daily
for lunch and dinner. The décor is sleek and modern, with
a show kitchen where diners can see the famous Shanghai noodles
being produced. The unique mood lighting has been created
by a Hong Kong designer, while the walls are adorned with
watercolour paintings, also from a local artist. The venue
incorporates three private rooms, each seating 12 persons
and featuring different décor, and an eight-person VIP room
with chef's table offering the guests a close up of the cooking
in action.

Traders, on L2, spans the globe from east to west.
On the one hand, the menu includes a comprehensive selection
of Italian dishes, including pasta, freshly made pizza from
the wood oven, and antipasto, all paired with Italian wines;
on the other hand it also incorporates Japanese favourites
such as sushi, sashimi, freshly made tempura, robatayaki and
udon, with sake also available. Local designers have worked
their magic in Traders, with highlights including specially
designed furniture and a unique Japanese display. The venue
features an open kitchen, and has a private area for 12 diners
overlooking Halls 1D and 1E.
Top Tour
Exhibition organisers were given an up-close preview of the
new facilities in early April. This was an important occasion
for the Centre, and our valued customers were briefed by HKCEC
Managing Director Cliff Wallace, given a guided tour of the
site and enjoyed a lunch reception at the Centre.
