Let’s talk turkey: eight places to go for a Hong Kong Thanksgiving feast

On November 26, Americans get together to celebrate Thanksgiving – a day of feasting, football and family for which feathered friends are scarified in the name of tradition. While Hongkongers have not embraced the tradition as enthusiastically as other Western festivals such as Halloween, Hong Kong restaurants have created some tasty menus for the occasion.

For a great taste of the south, head to Restoration for its Creole-inspired Thanksgiving lunch and dinner menus, served from November 25-29. It kicks off with pumpkin soup, followed by fried turkey with extras including jalapeno cornbread stuffing, peas with bacon and mashed potatoes. If you have any room left, finish off with some apple or pumpkin pie.

The hippest new place in town, MyHouse, has a tasty menu with an appetising price tag (HK$398). Gobble down torchetta (that’s a turkey breast prepared like a traditional Italian porchetta), candied sweet potato casserole, battered mashed potato, and green beans with garlicky almond breadcrumbs, capped off with pumpkin pie cheesecake. If the festive fare is as tasty as its regular menu items, then book now.

The InterContinental’s one-Michelin star Steak House Winebar + Grill is a meat lover’s haven. It’s also the perfect place to celebrate Thanksgiving from November 26 to 29, with à la carte options including purple sweet potato soup with chestnuts and scallops, roasted US turkey and honey-glazed ham. For dessert tuck into the pumpkin pie.
