Abandoned floating restaurant in Hong Kong hosts one final ‘dangerous’ dinner
A US$925-per-head dinner in an abandoned floating restaurant offered diners a nostalgic, opulent experience in glamorous surroundings
In 2022, when the Jumbo Floating Restaurant capsized as it was being towed to an undisclosed location, it felt like an important part of Hong Kong’s culinary history sank with it.
Three years later, a similarly abandoned floating restaurant in the city was revived for a one-night-only dinner on November 22.
The dinners, which usually take place in beautiful abandoned buildings temporarily transformed by Yasumoto and her partners at Heaven Scents Events, are small but glamorous events that are often attended by a well-heeled crowd.
