周六，是一周中唯一悠闲的日子。我坐在阳台上，就着一壶英式早餐茶，吃几片土司，一边浏览本地的中文报纸《星岛日报》。我住在香港岛南部，地点比较偏僻，靠近一片美丽的海滩，因此这里海景不错。和我住在一起的，有我的妻子Anita、两个孩子，分别是25岁的Stefanie和20岁的Nicholas，还有我的母亲May，以及我的毕尔格猎犬BJ。
早上8点左右，我就起床到家里的健身房锻炼，大多就是在跑步机上跑一下，然后去吃早餐。我热爱运动，尤其是各类水上运动，最近我买了一艘Monte Carlo游艇，名叫Bella Vita，长为65英尺（约19.812米）。早晨，船长带我们去赤柱市场逛了一圈，我们在码头下船，步行前往小店Si Yik，这是一家卖奶茶、法式土司的店铺，他家的面条也十分美味。之后，我们乘游艇去另一边的海岛，也就是我最喜欢的南丫岛。在集市上买了些曲奇后，我们徒步翻越丘陵，回到停靠游艇的码头。有时，我们会在海湾里游泳，然后去天虹海鲜酒家吃午餐，那里的虾料理非常新鲜，食材都是就地捕捞、烹饪的。有时，我们也会在山顶停留，尝一尝建兴亚婆豆腐花，这位老婆婆已经在这儿做了50年了，美味的豆腐花配上甜甜的糖浆，让人回味无穷。回到家的时候，通常是下午4点，然后我会带着猎犬出门散步。
我很喜欢驾驶跑车，最新的“玩具”是一辆阿斯顿•马丁Virage，我还有一辆法拉利F430、一辆保时捷Panamera、以及一辆悍马H3。无论是外部造型还是内部细节，这些跑车的设计都让我着迷。周末，我经常开着跑车去郊外逛逛，譬如大谭或者石澳，如果用悍马驮着我的自行车一起去，我也会骑骑自行车。
晚上，我会带母亲出去吃饭，平时工作忙也难得有这样的机会。通常我们有两种选择，要么去湾仔万丽酒店中的满福楼吃中餐，这是一家米其林星级餐厅，要么就去我自己的小餐馆。我是1957 & Co的合伙人之一，目前有泰式、日式、意式三种餐厅，都在铜锣湾的同一幢建筑内。我向来对食物充满激情，很想抽出些时间好好学学怎么做菜。
周日我也8点起床，开车到九龙湾的办公室，花几个小时时间为接下来一周的工作做准备。然后我驱车前往新界区，在上水的广成冰室里和Anita吃一顿简餐，我们最爱这里的红豆冰和鸡蛋三明治。有时我们也会去西贡的Hebe One O One西餐厅，那里的海鲜意大利面很不错。
午饭后，我们经常去香港岛上的商场，国金中心或者太古广场。男人大多不爱购物，但我是个例外。我喜欢观察商场的内部设计，譬如家具、灯饰、壁画、橱窗等。对我来说，商品本身却是最不重要的。我对中国和法国的当代艺术很感兴趣，日本和韩国艺术家的作品也是，因此我经常会顺路去季丰轩画廊逛逛，看看有没有什么新作品。如果恰好有艺术展览，即使最后什么也不买，我们也会去参观。如果我真的买了什么，只是因为我个人非常喜欢，而不是为了投资价值。
周末傍晚，我们有时会邀请朋友到家中聚餐。感谢香港的好天气，让我们在一年中的九个月都能在露台上烧烤。人生苦短，我认为学会享受生活中的每个部分很重要。生活，也包括工作，所以午夜前我就早早上床睡觉，以迎战即将到来的工作日。

Steve Leung’s Hong Kong
The multi-award-winning architect and designer’s projects range from high-rise residences, restaurants and hotel interiors to bathrooms, furniture and wallpaper
“Saturday is the only day I can enjoy a lazy breakfast at home. Living on the southern part of Hong Kong island means I have wonderful sea views, so I sit on my terrace with a pot of English breakfast tea and some toast and read the local Chinese newspaper, Sing Tao. My home is in a very private spot near a beautiful beach, where I live with my wife, Anita, our children, Stefanie, 25, and Nicholas, 20, my mother, May, and BJ, our beagle.
I get up around 8am and exercise in my home gym – usually a run on the treadmill – before breakfast. I’m a very sporty person and love all kinds of watersports. I recently bought a 65ft Monte Carlo motor yacht named Bella Vita, and the skipper takes us round to Stanley Market in the morning. We get off at the pier and go to Si Yik – a small local store selling milk tea, French toast and excellent noodles – then motor to one of the outlying islands. My favourite is Lamma, where I visit the street market to buy cookies, then walk over the hill to the other side to rejoin the yacht. Sometimes we go for a swim in one of the bays then have lunch at Rainbow Seafood Restaurant, which serves very fresh shrimp, caught and cooked on the spot. Or we might stop off on top of the hill at Kin Hing Tofu Dessert, a store selling delicious bean curd in sweet syrup that has been made by the same lady for 50 years. We’ll get home around 4pm, when I’ll take the dog for a walk.
I also really enjoy driving my sports cars at the weekend. My latest toy is an Aston Martin Virage, and I also have a Ferrari F430, a Porsche Panamera and a Hummer H3. I’m fascinated by their design – both the interior and exterior details. I’ll drive out to the countryside at Tai Tam or Shek O, where I’ll take a stroll, or, if I’ve brought my bike with me on the Hummer, do some cycling.
In the evening I take my mother out for dinner, as I never get a chance in the week. We either eat Chinese food at the Michelin-starred Dynasty in the Renaissance hotel in Wanchai, or go to one of my own eateries. I’m a partner in 1957 & Co, which owns three restaurants – Thai, Japanese and Italian – all in the same building in Causeway Bay. I’ve always been interested in food and I’d like to spend some time learning how to cook seriously.
On Sunday I get up at 8am and drive to the office in Kowloon Bay, where I’ll spend a couple of hours preparing for the week ahead. Then I’ll drive out to the New Territories for a simple lunch with Anita at Guong Shing Ice Cafe in Sheung Shui, where we have its signature red-bean ice and an egg sandwich, or Hebe One O One in Sai Kung for mussels and pasta.
After lunch we often go to the shopping malls on Hong Kong island – IFC and Pacific Place. Men don’t usually enjoy shopping, but I’m one of the exceptions. I love looking at the interior design – the furniture, lighting, graphics and window displays. For me, the actual products come last. I’m also interested in contemporary Chinese and French art and work by Korean and Japanese artists, so I might go to Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery to see what’s new. Or if there’s an art fair on we’ll take a look, even if I don’t buy anything. But when I do it’s always something I really love, rather than an investment.
Sometimes we have friends round for dinner at home on Sunday evening. Maybe a barbecue on the terrace, which we can do nine months of the year thanks to the weather. Life is short and I think it’s important to enjoy every aspect of your lifestyle. That also includes work, so I’ll be in bed before midnight to make the most of the coming week.”
