We’re ending the year with a bang. With an array of new restaurants and a fabulous afternoon teas to try before the new year, we’re finding this a great month for eating out in Hong Kong.
New opening: Uncle Desi Food & Sons

The Black Sheep Restaurants family is expanding again, with the addition of Uncle Desi Food & Sons. The concept for this one is digital. Marketed as “the city’s first digital restaurant”, there isn’t a physical restaurant to speak of; it’s all about the delivery experience, from Kennedy Town to Tai Hang and The Peak.

The menu is inspired by dishes in your favourite Indian takeaway, so expect to see hearty items. Highlights include aloo samosa and chicken tikka masala. It’s a tribute to all the desi uncles and aunties who migrated to foreign countries and set up their own restaurants and shared a little bit of India with their new communities.

New opening: Henry

The latest restaurant to open at Rosewood Hong Kong is Henry, an American grill, smokehouse and butcher concept led by Nathan Green. The menu is designed to express the best of the best in terms of butchery, meat-curing and charcoal grilling techniques.

Diners should be on the lookout for signature meat dishes, including 44 Farms Texas whisky and ash-aged beef, smoked short rib and Becker Lane Farm pork chop with heirloom carrots and pickled mustard seeds. Try pairing them with a wide-range of home-made sauces, including 5-pepper and bourbon and smoky blue Béarnaise.

New opening: Hue

The reopened Museum of Art looks like a foodie haven, and Hue, a modern Australian restaurant, is the latest example. Apart from good food and down-to-earth hospitality, the 5,000 sq ft restaurant offers million-dollar-views of Victoria Harbour.

Seafood, steaks and other comfort food are on the menu. If you have a sweet tooth, the Hue cake trolley will give you great delight.

There’s nothing better than a lazy alfresco dining option. Ink, a modern Australian restaurant, is set to be the next dining hotspot on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong’s harbourfront . Highlights include a breakfast spread filled with pastries, seasonal ice cream flavours and seafood. The self-service is equally casual and down-to-earth.

Hongkongers love sushi. And the better it is, the more we’re willing to whip out our credit cards.

The 3 Michelin-starred chef (he earned three stars in Tokyo, and again in London) brings his own approach to Edomae-style sushi made with fresh local seafood. The 12-seater omakase restaurant offers an intimate dining experience.
