New Energy to Shake Up Hong Kong’s Dining SceneĪ promising line-up of rising culinary stars will be spotlighted to acknowledge the city’s trendsetting talent. For instance, Chef Chan Yan Tak from the Michelin 3-starred Lung King Heen will take diners on a tasting journey from sea to sky, while Chef Jayson Tang from Michelin 1-starred Man Ho Restaurant has created a menu based on the relationship between the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Eighteen master chefs from Chinese restaurants across the city will spearhead the program. This concept is loosely inspired by the original omakase-style, whereby a meal’s direction is left entirely up to the chef's discretion, giving the chef creative freedom and the diner a memorable dining experience. Worth noting is 'Chinese Omakase by Masterchefs,' an outside-the-box Chinese fine dining experience. The 'Sustainable Cocktail' masterclass will be available for a global audience alongside other 'Tasting On-Air' programmes covering a wide range of topics on various trends related to wine and spirits. 'I hope to inspire my industry peers to become more eco-conscious for our future generations.' 'Being in the hospitality industry in such an advanced culinary city like Hong Kong, we are blessed but spoiled in that the amount of waste we produce is beyond our imagination,' Prabowo said. For example, potato peels are upcycled into bar snacks, excess pieces of bread and cheese are infused into new spirits, and waste alcohol and lemon peels are transformed into soaps and hand sanitizers. The award recognizes the creativity and effort that Prabowo and his partners put in to minimizing waste and reducing the bar’s carbon footprint. Despite the uncertainty, plenty of new restaurants have opened in the past year, adding to the already diverse and vibrant F&B scene.Īs a ' Showroom of New Culinary Perspectives,' this year’s festival will feature a wealth of refreshing experiences, including the innovative elevation of Chinese cuisine, an inspiring line-up of online masterclasses, and a roster of bright and bold F&B personalities, putting the spotlight on some of the brilliant minds that are carving a new niche in Hong Kong’s dining landscape.Ĭocktail lovers and green lifestyle enthusiasts should not miss the 'Sustainable Cocktail' online masterclass hosted by Agung Prabowo of Penicillin bar, winner of Asia's 50 Best Sustainable Bar Award for 2021. The disruptions caused by the pandemic have not deterred the city from its enterprising ambitions.
