Charity Bites Like eating for a good cause? Sure you do. Chi Fan for Charity is back on Saturday, November 7 for the third year running. The event ditches the “charity dinner gala” thing for something much more low-key: It partners with 27 restaurants all over town to throw dinner parties in each venue. Tables are hosted by friends, associations and some of Hong Kong’s most interesting people. All proceeds go to the Little Life Warrior Society, which works to improve the lives of children fighting cancer. We certainly can’t think of a better cause than that.
Nov 7. Tickets from $850 all-inclusive, chifanforcharity.org.
