Quiero Más

This Central hot spot brings the “sun-drenched flavours of Spain and the wider Mediterranean” to Hong Kong with a new à la carte menu, along with summer cocktails and mocktails. Oceanic umami takes centre stage in the squid-ink paella with octopus and aioli – a take on arroz negro, the ink-black rice dish from Valencia. New tapas dishes, meanwhile, include the dos dias patatas (a crispy potato mille-feuille named after its two-day preparation), the classic broken-egg dish and red prawn ajillo in garlic-butter sauce.

DRINK THIS
Maggie Choo

Celebrating its third anniversary this month, the jazz and cocktail bar has just launched a new drinks menu with 10 original creations that draw on the East-meets-West cultural exchange of the 1920s. Our pick is the Remains of Mystery, a (literally) smoking creation of gin, umeshu, plum, lemon and cinnamon, with a topping of freshly grated cinnamon over aromatic smoke. Served in an ornate Chinese ceramic cup, the cocktail is rich, tart, acidic, sour and downright intriguing. Also worth trying are the Gold Shop espresso martini and Maggie’s Martini, a tea- and gin-based clarified milk punch strained to translucent perfection over several hours.
