    What’s New: Food

    Brut! By Pete Negra House

    Interior at Brut, Hong Kong
    The newest addition to Sai Ying Pun’s exciting dining scene, Brut! Is a Tapas joint which serves a range of tasty sharing plates and wines in cosy environs. The menu highlights local produce sourced from the Sai Ying Pun market and meats from small, family farms in Spain. Highlights include the Galican beef tenderloin with baby spinach ($248), buffalo mozzarella, kalamata olive tapenade and fried enoki mushrooms ($98) and smoked eggplants and vegetables $58). The dishes pair well with the drink offerings including natural wines and homemade Kombucha cocktails. Even though the menu highlights meats and seafood, there are options here for vegetarians and vegans so everyone in your group can find something to enjoy.

    Price point: $$

    1 Second street, Shop C, G/F, Sai Ying Pun

     

    Food is Great Campaign

    Devonshire Roast Beef Sirloin from Gough's ON Gough

    The Food is GREAT Campaign aims to showcase the spectacular range and quality of Britain’s delectable produce and cuisine. The campaign kicks off from 21 March in 18 restaurants across Hong Kong. Participating restaurants include Gough’s on Gough, Mandarin Grill & Bar, Grand Hyatt Steakhouse, Rhoda, and London House long others. Each restaurant will serve Brit-inspired dishes designed by some of the best chefs in the city on their Great British Menu. For a select time you can even have a chance to win a trip to the UK just by dining on one of the special menus.

     

    Port Autonomy at Potato Head Hong Kong

    Selection of dishes from Port Autonomy

    For one night, Potato Head Hong Kong will play host to Port Autonomy, a Yangon-based restaurant currently “on holiday”, but one previously featured in Munchies and The Wall Street Journal for its apt knack for bringing Myanmar’s contemporary culinary scene to global attention. Best described as a modern Burmese beer hall, where a variety of culinary discourses are explored form Mexican to Korean, Burmese to Vietnamese, the evening’s set menu by Kevin Ching contains no rules, but guarantees good times. So too the cocktails upon arrival.

    Price:  $600 + 10% per person on Ticketflap

    G/F, 100 Third Street, Sai Ying Pun

     

    Dear Lilly

    Well-known designer Ashley Sutton is back at it again with his fifth project: Dear Lilly, the inspiration of which comes from tiny floral shops around Paris. Located in the IFC, Dear Lilly is all about romance. From love letters to floral decor, you’ll be completely swept away upon entering. You can expect the same wow-effect as Sutton’s other projects, like The Iron Fairies, Ophelia, and J. Boroski. As for the food, expect contemporary Western that covers a wide range of palates and a great cocktail list. If you’re wondering where to go on your next date, look no further than Dear Lilly.

    From the guys that brought Mama Malouf and Catch to Kennedy Town comes Tai Hang newcomer Elementary. Elementary serves up contemporary Australian cuisine with a bit of a twist. Head on over for a delicious dinner where the menu is broken into light, medium, and heavy dishes, including an interesting take on a classic burrata dish with pink peppercorn & curry leaf infused honey, stone fruit, and bee pollen. Elementary also has a fantastic brunch menu with drool-worthy dishes like smashed avocado – poached eggs, goat’s cheese, beetroot pesto, quinoa, and pumpkin seeds on multigrain.

    Char Siu Carbonara @ Linguini Fini

    As if we needed another reason to love Linguini Fini, the New York-Italian restaurant has recently “injected a taste of Hong Kong” into a handful of their dishes. If you love a classic carbonara, the chari siu carbonara is a must order and will seriously have you craving another bowl. If you have a more adventurous palate, try the Typhoon Shelter Crab Linguini, made with fresh crab, black bean, pickled chili and a garlic-scallion take on a classic gremolata. Regardless of which dish you choose, we love that Linguini Fini is paying homage to our city’s local dishes in a creative (and delicious) way.
