Kim Soo-jin

Hong Kong’s ever-changing dining scene is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing, because we’re spoilt for choice, but also a curse, because our wallets and bank accounts are forever crying. However, when you have a line-up that looks as good as this, can you blame us for putting our stomachs first?
New opening: Associazione Chianti

The latest restaurant to open under the Black Sheep Restaurants group is Tuscan trattoria Associazione Chianti.
How plant-based diets stole the spotlight in 2019
The flavours of Tuscany are brought to life at the groups’ newest eatery, which is putting the spotlight squarely on in-house dry-aged steaks, flavourful comfort food and a wine list that promises to make you smile.

Signature dishes on the 50-seat restaurant’s menu include tagliatelle with prosciutto, peas and mint; Pollo al Burro Omaggio a Sostanza (pan-fried chicken breast in butter); Garganelli Omaggio a Cammillo (home-made pasta with rich Chianti beef ragu); and Bistecca alla Fiorentina, a thick-cut steak that is big enough for three to four people.
Opened: late October
Address: 15 Ship Street, Wan Chai
Tel: 3619-3360
New opening: Fortnum & Mason’s 181 restaurant

The 312-year-old British retail and hospitality brand (and our go-to shop for scrumptious biscuits and tea) is opening its doors to a restaurant this month. Located in K11 Musea, the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner; on the menu is a variety of delicious items, both sweet and savoury. Not-to-be-missed dishes include beef wellington, lobster spaghetti, Welsh rarebit and knickerbocker glory.

The 7,000-square-foot area, spread across two floors (the shop is located on the ground floor while the restaurant is just above, accessible via a sweeping staircase), is also home to a vista that comes with a fabulous harbour view. The view, of course, is best enjoyed with a spot of the brand’s famous afternoon tea experience, served every day – and accompanied by a live pianist.
Opens: this month
Address: Shop 002 & 122, G/F, K11 Musea, Victoria Dockside, Tsim Sha Tsui

New opening: Kido

Hong Kong’s never-ending list of Japanese eateries is about to get even longer, with the addition of Kido later this month. The Fukuo-style “hakata-ku” skewer bar is set to shake things up in Tsim Sha Tsui, with its signature take on yakitori.
The restaurant promises to elevate the yakitori experience with its famed chicken skewers: only female Yamato Nikudori chicken, sourced from farms in Nara City in south-central Japan, is used, as it is prized for its strong and juicy flavour.

Another highlight is the tempura-fried chicken nanban made with a recipe created by the head chef Kimura Junichiro’s own father. The dish, created in 1956, has become a restaurant signature – and resulted in Kimura’s father nicknamed “god of chicken”.
But chicken isn’t the only item on the menu: Kurobata pork, cold nikko soba noodles, and even grilled rice ball in signature curry sauce are featured on the menu.
Opens: mid-November
Address: G12-13, 8 Minden Avenue, Tsim Sha Tsui
