Where to eat in Hong Kong: January’s new dining options
Forget about trimming the waistline for now – 2018 starts with an exciting range of offerings for Hong Kong’ s food lovers
A new year, a new list. We’re celebrating the start of 2018 with a list of resolutions – including enjoying all the afternoon tea and dining out options available this month. Gym memberships will still be available later this year, after all.
Pici Central
Given the success of Pici in Wan Chai, the Pirata Group decided the omens looked good for opening up a Pici in a second location – this time in bustling Central. Daily-made fresh pasta still takes centre stage at Pici, with new exclusive dishes for its Central location introduced to the menu.
New dishes include garganelli pasta served with duck ragu, cauliflower and Szechuan peppers; plin ravioli stuffed with gorgonzola and sautéed with poricini mushrooms and mascarpone; and seafood tagliatelle with saffron cream sauce, mussels, garlic and chilli.
Opened: late December
Address: G/F, 24-26 Aberdeen Street, Central
FUMI
Even when it seems that Hong Kong has one too many Japanese restaurants for its own good, another one opens – and we happily indulge. The latest to open is FUMI in California Tower, which promises a wide range of different seasonal dishes – from Okinawa to Hokkaido. They offer the omakase and kaiseki options, for which the chef uses the freshest ingredients on hand to produce a one-off dining experience. Another highlight is the Daimon35 – FUMI’s award-wining house sake, which was awarded the gold medal at the London Sake Challenge in 2016.
