Hong Kong and Macau Christmas menus with a twist: Mexican, Indian, Italian, German, East-meets-West – wash them down with Willy Wonka cocktails
- Bored of turkey, stuffing and roast potatoes? Hong Kong restaurants offer a vast range of alternatives, including Asian takes on classic dishes
- You could have a European Christmas meal, spiced Indian treats including a special Christmas pudding kulfi, or a Mexican-themed celebration
’Tis the season for indulgent meals and festive dining, and plenty of restaurants in Hong Kong are embracing the Christmas spirit with menus curated for the holiday season.
Roast turkey, honey-glazed ham, Brussels sprouts and Yule logs are sure-fire favourites on Christmas menus and are perfectly nice, but if you’re feeling naughty and want to opt for something more out-of-the-box, we’ve got you covered.
From flavour-packed Indian dishes to meat-filled Mexican platters and a round-up of whimsical cocktails inspired by Willy Wonka, here are seven unconventional Christmas menus that will have you feeling just as merry and bright.
1. Heimat by Peter Find
Experience the tastes of a German Christmas at Heimat, where chef Peter Find has created several lunch and dinner menus featuring hearty dishes and traditional flavours.
The restaurant’s four-course festive lunch menu (HK$480) includes chestnut soup with black truffle; traditional German oven-roasted duck leg with apple, red cabbage and mashed potato; and hazelnut spiced cake with vanilla custard and plum compote.
Meanwhile, the six-course festive dinner menu (HK$1,380) features Heimat’s own glühwein (German mulled wine, directly translates to “glow wine”) with dishes like blue lobster with beetroot, cranberry and orange curd; wild boar ragout with pumpkin confit and gingerbread; and sea bass with Savoy cabbage and Black Forest ham. Both menus are offered until December 23.
