Your Hong Kong weekend food guide for August 29-31
Enjoy happy hour with a banh mi on Friday, dine like Indian royalty on Saturday, and close out the weekend with contemporary British plates
Hong Kong’s ever-evolving dining landscape serves up plenty to look forward to this weekend, with new openings and inventive menus highlighting the city’s diverse culinary spirit.
From a vibrant Vietnamese debut at Bistro Hoi An in West Kowloon to an indulgent Awadhi-inspired royal feast at Prince and the Peacock in Tai Kwun, and modern British plates at The Baker & The Bottleman in Wan Chai, each day brings a different flavour journey worth booking ahead for.
Friday, August 29
With happy hour from 3pm to 8pm, the new Cafe Deco Group restaurant makes an ideal Friday night venue. “East meets West” appetisers offer creative twists on authentic Vietnamese flavours, with plates like shrimp ceviche: sashimi-grade tiger prawns bathed in calamansi nuoc cham; and beef tartare: minced beef with fish sauce, chilli and coriander, garnished with betel leaf and rice powder, and served with crunchy youtiao (fried dough sticks). Other highlights include chicken skewers and wings, banh mi, pho, salads and rice-paper rolls.
Book a table after work and enjoy 20 per cent off selected beers, wines, cocktails, mocktails and spirits with your dinner.
