    What’s New: Food

    Statement, The Chinese Library and The Dispensary

    The Chinese Library, Tai Kwun Hong KOng
    The Chinese Library

    Aqua Restaurant Group has opened two new flagship restaurants and an innovative new bar at Tai Kwun. The restaurants reflect Hong Kong’s East/West cultural history with a stunning bar, The Dispensary, sitting between the two. In the East wing, The Chinese Library celebrates the different regional Chinese cuisines which have become popular in Hong Kong over the years featuring dishes inspired by group Founder, David Yeo’s vast collection of cookbooks found in his library. Statement restaurant situated in the West wing showcases innovative British cuisine, echoing Hong Kong’s colonial heritage while also displaying some of the more avant-garde culinary directions found in London today. The interior design of all three venues is nostalgic and luxurious, and both restaurants have terraces overlooking the former Police Headquarters and Hollywood Road.

    Price Point: $$$

    Police Headquarters, Tai Kwun, 10 Hollywood Road

     

    New Opening: Kytaly

    Kytaly Pizza

    There’s a whole lot of hype surrounding newly opened Kytaly, the award-winning Geneva-based Italian restaurant co-owned by legendary pizza chef Franco Pepe. When a restaurant claims to serve the best pizza in Hong Kong, you can bet our expectations are high. Breaking the mould of popular Neapolitan pizza, the dough is created in highly limited amounts every day with a secret recipe by Franco Pepe himself, consisting of 70% water which gives way to a surprisingly light and supple pizza. 99% of the ingredients used are directly sourced from Italy – from the tomato, oregano, basil, garlic and anchovies to the Fior di Latte and yeast. Just be warned, Kytaly doesn’t take reservations so be prepared to queue.

    Price point: $$$

    5/F, 77 Wyndham Street, Central

     

    New Opening: Ding’s Club

    Ding's Club

    Celebrity Chef and Kung Fu Star Steve Lee Ka Ding is bringing nostalgic dishes from his heritage back to life since the inception of Ding’s Kitchen (鼎爺私房菜). Ding’s Club is Lee’s second restaurant venture featuring fine dining Cantonese cuisine. The dishes use plenty of fresh and seasonal ingredients, and are crafted with minimal seasonings in order to stay true to the original flavors. Although Lee has crafted a new menu for Ding’s Club, you’ll still be able to order some of his favourite classics, like the Wok-fried Rice Noodle with Sliced Beef and Sprouts, and Steamed Minced Pork with Sun-dried Fresh Squid and Vintage Dried Tangerine Peel.

    Price point: $$ – $$$$

    23/F, H Queen’s, 80 Queen’s Road Central, Central

     

    New Opening: Yukinoshita

    Yakinoshita

    You don’t need to travel to Japan to find their famed sweet treats – from kakigori to matcha soft serve, Hong Kong has it all. Yukinoshita is the ‘new kid on the block’ and has sprung up on Haven Street in Causeway Bay, an area that’s home to two other Japanese dessert shops. What sets Yukinoshita apart? Their claim to fame is their Atsuyaki: thick-fried pancakes that are first of their kind in Hong Kong. There’s a few options to choose from, but our favorite was definitely the original Mandarin Honey pancake, made with Mandarin Honey from Ehime Prefecture, and smooth butter from Miyazaki that melts on top. Yukinoshita also serves kakigori and a small selection of savory bites, like their thick-style egg sandwich.

    Price point: $

    1-5 Haven Street, Causeway Bay

     

    New Opening: ICHU Peru

    ICHU Peru

    In partnership with celebrated Peruvian chef Virgilio Martinez Veliz of Central in Lima comes another buzz-worthy opening in H Queen’s: ICHU Peru. This casual Peruvian restaurant showcases traditional ingredients and cooking techniques, and wants guests to leave feeling like they’ve just dined in Peru. The menu is comprised of a range of local comfort food, complimenting their bistro-style setting, along with an extensive wine list.

    New Opening: Hunter and The Chase

    Hunter Interior

    Taking over the former space of Shore in The L.place comes a new dual concept by the same creators: Hunter and The Chase. Head to Hunter on the 4th floor if you’re looking for a contemporary take on a classic steakhouse (think bison tartare, potted rabbit confit, and roasted bone marrow). If you’re in the mood for drinks with a few bites, head to The Chase on the venue’s lower floor where you can also take advantage of their large outdoor space. Along with a new name and menu, the space went through a much needed makeover.

Although we loved everything we tried, absolute must-orders are the Scallion Bing with Black Garlic Aioli and the Shelter Crab Cheesy Cheung Fun.
