Where to eat in Hong Kong: 9 great places to try this September
With four new restaurants opening up plus a range of collaborative dinner options on offer, this month is set to be one of the best on the culinary calendar
With a slew of new restaurant openings and fabulous collaborations to look forward to, September may just be the busiest month for our stomachs yet.
1. New opening: Yukinoshita
Award-winning dessert specialist Yukinoshita is opening its first overseas location in Hong Kong this month in bustling Causeway Bay. The dessert café specialises in Instagram-worthy atsuyaki pancakes which are irresistibly thick, fluffy and bouncy, as well as kakigori, or traditional shaved ice desserts. Yukinoshita, owned by a former pastry chef, is known for its attention to detail. The pancakes are made using free-range eggs and unpasteurised milk to enhance their thickness, while the syrup used to flavour the kakigori is made from seasonal fruits sourced from Japanese farmers.
Opens: September 2018
Address: 1-5 Haven Street, Causeway Bay
2. New opening: Piqniq
The newest addition to H Queen’s is Piqniq, a new restaurant/bar located on the building’s rooftop. The dining terrace boasts a menu filled with international dishes, including Chinese, Japanese and Mediterranean offerings. Apart from glamorous views of Hong Kong’s skyline, another highlight is a giant pumpkin artwork by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, which is on display.
