The best things to do in Hong Kong, March 22-28

Hong Kong takes centre stage as it hosts the awards ceremony for Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants for the first time on March 25. To mark the occasion, a series of official Signature Sessions will see global culinary heavyweights take over local kitchens for one-night-only collaborations. Highlights include a powerhouse dinner at Ando featuring chefs from Taipei’s Logy and Florilège in Tokyo, a multi-hand feast at Caprice with the teams from Masque (Mumbai) and Gaggan at Louis Vuitton (Bangkok), and a showcase of lauded Shenzhen restaurant Ensue at The Chinese Library.

Titled Exploration, Argo’s newest cocktail menu pivots from its ecosystem-centric approach to a heartfelt celebration of Hong Kong identity. Collaborating with local heroes such as Tai On Coffee & Tea and tattooist Marcus Yuen, the 12 cocktails include the Hong Kong Punch, with its elevated riff on the egg tart, and the savoury Broth & Soul, a nod to hotpot hotspot Big JJ’s. It’s a sophisticated liquid love letter to the city’s craft and grit.
