terrace has quickly become one of the hippest places for sunset cocktails. shangri-la.com/hongkong/kerry Other superb options are the grande dame, The Peninsula, the chic Four Seasons, or for a boutique option, The Pottinger. Satisfy your appetite For a revolutionary dining experience try Happy Paradise, the latest opening from the innovative May Chow and her team. Chow, Asia’s Best Female Chef <strong>2017</strong> (Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants awards) is the talented ambassador for, and creator of, neo-Chinese cuisine. Her creations pay homage to and are inspired by tradition while presenting delicious dishes in a completely new, modern, reinvented, at times playful, thoughtful, inspired way. For example, the scallop “rice roll” inspired by cheung fun is made purely from scallop. Other standouts include comforting pan fried pig’s brain with burnt pear juice, and succulent slow-cooked chicken that highlights chrysanthemum. The cocktails are also excellent. happyparadise.hk Also of note is Dragon Noodles Academy, which serves Chinese cuisine (including dim sum) with a contemporary presentation in a retro-cool Hong Kong history/pop culture environment. The lobster noodle station is at the heart of this open kitchen, with fantastic handmade noodles a speciality. Other must-tries include the lobster puff, jam-packed with lobster meat, it cleverly resembles the body of a lobster thanks to culinary skill and carrot glaze; and the excellent Peking Duck, with the option to have up to eight extra duck courses. dragon-noodles.com For exciting Michelin dining try Caprice. Its recently appointed chef de cuisine, Guillaume Galliot, is a maestro of flavour-forward, exquisitely presented, contemporary French cuisine and is hungry for three stars. For the complete culinary journey opt for the Carte Blanche tasting menu. Signatures include the divine beef-oyster tartare and caviar, a wonderfully French crab laksa with confit egg, and roasted and confit pigeon with beetroot variation. fourseasons.com/hongkong The speakeasy For a crafted gin and tonic or silky martini look for the doctor’s door. Dr Fern’s Gin Parlour is one of the city’s newest speakeasy, with over 270 gins available. Seek advice from the white-coat clad staff, who know their stuff, to recommend the perfect gin prescription for you. The ambience is quirky parlour inspired by Alice in Wonderland (including Mad Hatter afternoon tea).
