The best kind of secrets are for sharing, and Secret Supper Club is no exception.

A new venture from Feeding Hong Kong - a charity that collects surplus food from manufacturers and restaurants for distribution among the less fortunate - Secret Supper Club promises paying diners a unique culinary experience each month, according to the charity's executive director, Gabrielle Kirstein.

For HK$700 a head, guests will be treated to one-off menus at events to be held in settings both familiar and new. The food will be paired with selected wines and beers, and - as if that weren't enough - there will be raffles and lucky draws, as well as gift bags, to ensure no one walks away empty-handed.

And the secret part? Neither the location, theme nor menu for each "supper" will be revealed until a guest has booked.

The concept is certainly different from your typical meal out, and what with Hong Kong being a gastronomical utopia, Supper Club, says Kirstein, "just seemed a natural fit."

At heart, though, Secret Supper Club is a fundraising event. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to Feeding Hong Kong.
