If there’s one industry we must applaud for the quick-thinking, action-driven changes necessary in the face of lockdowns, it’s food and beverage. And with no dine-ins after 6pm, well, yet more pivoting became necessary. We get the scoop around town.

Foxglove

Imagine a lush jazz lounge, exquisite Chinese fare and, best of all, a cocktail menu carefully devised to match the vibe, and the first place that comes to mind is Foxglove. So aptly named after the species of poisonous flora, it’s the place to go should you miss the era of speakeasies. 

Paying homage to the golden age of jazz and aiming to capture the electric energy of the Prohibition era, its new cocktail menu features an exotic, refreshing rum-based concoction with a hit of ginger and citrus known as The Girl From Ipanema. But if you’re looking for something with a harder hit, The Wallerman Punch is a nod to the world’s first cocktail created by pirates, which comprises rum, cherry liqueur, pistachio, blood orange and a pinch of cardamom.

“The restriction has been a big challenge for us, as we’re known for our live music and glamorous cocktail vibe,” says co-founder Shakib Pasha. “However, our recent menu of new dim sum and Cantonese dishes has been very popular among weekday lunch-goers. We’ve also extended happy hour from noon to 6pm. The biggest pivot has been introducing a disco brunch for the first time — DJs, dim sum, and free flow of Foxglove’s famed cocktails.”

The Daily Tot

The ultimate sanctuary for rum lovers, The Daily Tot serves up one of the most diverse selections in Hong Kong. It recently introduced the No Boundaries Vol 3 cocktail menu, designed by new assistant bar manager Maikal Gurung, previously of Island Shangri-La’s Lobster Bar & Grill, and co-founder Tiana Ludhani. For something that both tastes good and looks delightful on social media, go for What the Duck?, an ambitious blend of homemade coconut chamomile curd, lemonade and rum. 

On the subject of the latest round of restrictions, Ludhani says, “The bar industry has learned to live with Covid. When I say ‘live with’, I mean we’ve grudgingly accepted it. We’ve tried to stay ahead of the game to manoeuvre faster than the government’s flip-flopping of the rules. All of us have been forced to be incredibly creative. 

“At The Daily Tot, we came up with daytime value sets for two or four people, as well as Daily Tot Sundowners (our version of happy hour) with off-menu cocktails and wines. We also focused on safe, socially distanced daytime activities, such as trivia free-flow and cocktail masterclasses. The support from the community has been unmatched because, let’s face it, Hong Kong is a city where stress levels are at an all-time high. People need their cocktails, and we’re here to provide them.”

Grain Gastropub & Brewlab

It’s the best time of the year for a nice, waterfront stroll with your friends. We love Kennedy Town for the range of gastronomic offers, a highlight being popping into Grain Gastropub & Brewlab at the edge of the district for a cold one. Or a not-so-cold one, if you’re going for a beer that’s a little darker.

The venue has recently introduced an extended weekend roast from 12pm to 5pm with hearty choices that include stout-braised ox cheek, and slow-roasted lamb shoulder glazed with stout molasses. 

Co-founder Chris Woodyard says, “We’re using the time to focus on staff training and getting closer to our community with beer education through our Meet the Brewer programmes. Customers can meet the brewer, of course, and get complimentary pours fresh from the beer tanks. We just want to add more personal touches and interactions until things are back in full swing.”

Bacchus

If it’s wine you’re after, newly opened Bacchus on Hollywood Road is a stop you’ll have to pencil in. Serving up Asian-influenced French cuisine, the venue also doubles as a wine destination with more than 800 labels from around the world to choose from. 

Led by renowned wine educator and sommelier Hervé Pennequin – awarded third place in the World’s Best Sommelier rankings, 2004 – Bacchus offers wine-pairing options for every dish on the menu, as well as designing bespoke wine dinners. 

“Even with the new restrictions, we wanted to continue our mission of ‘edutaining’ our guests through showcasing some of the best wines from around the world,” says Pennequin. “Our offers aren’t only at a very decent price, but they introduce more obscure grape varieties that diners may not be familiar with.

“We recently created our Wine Time menu, available on weekdays from 3pm to 6pm, which allows guests to discover and enjoy 18 different wines with unlimited pours. For those who want to line their stomachs so they can drink more, we also have nibbles based on our à la carte selections too.”

Dating apps — they’re the safest way to get to know someone these days without risking catching the ‘vid. And who would know best about online trends than Dawoon Kang, co-founder of Coffee Meets Bagel?

If you’ve been single at any point in the last few years, chances are, you’ve probably downloaded — or, been tempted to download — a dating app. Who wouldn’t? Low risk, and (potentially) high reward. Swipe, swipe, chat, chat and, just maybe, find the love of your life. What a dream. In light of Valentine’s Day today, we speak to Dawoon Kang of Coffee Meets Bagel about trends, love and Hong Kong.

Dawoon Kang, Founder of Coffee Meets Bagel, Reveals Pandemic Dating Trends

What inspired you to start Coffee Meets Bagel?

Helping people find love is a fun and meaningful problem. At the end of the day, isn’t love the ultimate reason why we are here? My sisters and I started looking into the dating market and realized that even though there are a ton of dating apps out there, most were swipe-based apps that focused on quantity vs. quality. We wanted to create a platform for people who are looking for real relationships.

Tell us more about the #DitchTheList concept.

We looked at what Hongkongers want when it comes to dating, relationships and finding a partner and we found the list to be long! Young singles had over 20 must-haves and dealbreakers on their “list”, but we also found that 97% of Hongkongers in relationships are with someone different to their original dating criteria — and are happy for it!  We wanted singles to know that long lists may not be serving us the best when it comes to finding a happy relationship.

What was a surprising dating trend that you noticed in Hong Kong?  

Our survey revealed that across all demographics, Hongkongers universally agree that honesty, loyalty, and mutual respect are the most important qualities in a partner for a long and happy relationship. So, intuitively, we know what’s important. However, I think oftentimes in dating, we end up placing more importance on things that are easier to assess immediately such as looks, job and degrees. Qualities like honesty, loyalty, and mutual respect take much longer to judge and are harder to assess. 

I was surprised by the statistics that 97% of HK in relationships are with someone different than their original dating criteria. The number was so high! This is the #1 tip that dating experts I interview give – to give people a chance even if they don’t fit perfectly what you think your partner should be. Now we have the facts to back up this advice and that’s exciting.

How have users in the city shifted their focus since the pandemic began?

Covid unsurprisingly changed many things in our lives, including dating. One main theme I’m finding is that Covid has made daters more thoughtful about dating. According to a survey done among our daters in HK, 72% said they find themselves being more open and honest with matches and more than half said the pandemic has made them reflect more about what they’re looking for in a partner.

What is the best success story you’ve heard of from users of the platform?

Truthfully, all success stories are amazing! They are love stories after all, so how can they not be? While the stories are all equally great, the ones that are special to me are those of my friends. I have three friends who met their partners through Coffee Meets Bagel immediately after I gave them coaching advice on their CMB profiles. I told them they need to name their child after me.

Any tips for Hongkongers about dating during a pandemic? 

One interesting observation I made is that in the U.S., close to 40% of daters have tried video dating since the pandemic started but that number is only 6% among users here.

70% of those who tried it, though, said they enjoyed the experience and that they were able to feel the chemistry despite the distance. I recommend trying either a phone call or FaceTime session before physically meeting up. It’s quick, easy, and safe — especially during these times.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Don’t fret, we’re not resorting back to Zoom quizzes quite yet. Here are five things you can still do in Hong Kong — in groups of two, of course.

As of 8 February, the government announced its most stringent social distancing measures since the pandemic began. Down from four to groups of two, Hong Kongers are quickly losing steam as social plans unravel and hopes of a holiday continue to fade.

Let’s face it: The new rules are tough. We get that it’s hard to remain optimistic while it feels as if the rest of the world is moving on, and this new wave is only just beginning in Hong Kong, but now more than ever, we need to keep our spirits high. So if you must, there are still ways to (safely!) get out there — as a pair — and make the most of the concrete jungle.

Things to do in Hong Kong in groups of two

Escape to an outlying island

It’s been over two years since some of us have seen our families and left the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong for calmer climes; but while we continue to wait for the green light to travel, we’re making do with what we can and escaping as far afield as possible within the city.

Currently, there are no restrictions for public transport, so grab your partner or a friend and hop on a ferry to explore one of our outlying islands for the day. From Lamma to Peng Chau and Po Toi to Sharp Island (to name but a few!) check out what to do and where to eat in this guide — or make a weekend of it and book an AirBnb. Sure, we’d rather be sunning on a beach in Thailand, but we promise these sea views will suffice, for now.

Picnic in the park

As a public space, parks follow the rule of two (unless you’re a family) as well, so there will just be room for a couple on that picnic blanket for the time being. Think of it as a chance to catch up over a canned G&T and a takeaway from your favourite restaurant — or, make it a super swanky affair and splash out on a luxury picnic setup. Complete with highly Instagrammable table settings, decorations and even snacks and drinks, why not spend a little extra cash on something unique while we can’t pop to the pub or have friends over for rooftop drinks?

Take to the trails — two by two

The weather is actually cool enough to take advantage of Hong Kong’s abundance of hiking trails, so we might as well make a move on those New Year’s resolutions. Bars are closed, after all.

In no need of an introduction, Hong Kong hikes are steeped in history, boast panoramic views and even lead to some pretty great food — so take your pick of the lot and clock up a few steps with your hiking partner in crime. Here’s how to stay on top of your game — just in case you choose to tack on a few kilometers and there.

Snack on all the street food

Restaurants have a cap on tables of more than two, so why not take to the streets and embark on a self-guided street food tour of Hong Kong instead. With majority of street food vendors usually operating for takeout only regardless of social distancing measures, make a list of must-try snacks and get to gobbling. Favourites include: Master Low Key’s egg waffles, Fei Jie’s Oyster Omlette, Hop Yik Tai’s cheung fun and Tai Cheong Bakery’s egg tarts.

Staycations

With hotels allowing rooms of four (for now!) take advantage and take some time out for yourself. Regardless of whether you simply lounge around encased in cosy hotel sheets and ordering room service or use it as a base to explore a new neighbourhood, simply spending the night away from home will do you wonders. Alternatively, keep the room to the two of you and invite a furry friend along for the night. These dog-friendly hotels are sure to treat your pooch like royalty.

Theresa Mak — better known as Dashijie — is a veteran of Cantonese cuisine. Last year, she collaborated with Rosewood Hong Kong to launch their exclusive mooncakes. This season, she's teamed up with Mandarin Oriental to create a radish cake with aged tangerine peel. We catch up with her to learn more about her new products under her eponymous brand and what Chinese New Year means to her.

What do you look forward to most during Chinese New Year?

My first priority is to spend time with my family: my daughter, son-in-law and most importantly, my grandson. As they are living in Singapore, sometimes they will come over or we'll travel there to meet them. I will cook New Year’s Eve dinner with traditional Cantonese dishes like abalone, chicken, fish, dried shiitake mushrooms and so on, making sure there are abundant food to celebrate.

What is your favourite Chinese New Year tradition?

I like giving out red packets, decorating the house with red banners with lucky greetings written on them, preparing the candy tray with treats like chocolate, nuts, deep fried stuff — things that kids like to eat. I also like to walk around at the Lunar New Year fair, watch the crowd and enjoy the atmosphere.

Do you remember the first time you ate traditional turnip cake? What was that experience like?

My first time eating turnip/radish cake was when I was a young child, over 65 years ago. My mother made them. It was yummy, soft and easy to eat. The cake surface was fried until it is a little bit burnt. My mum will also allow us to dip the radish cake with oyster sauce! Since then, radish cakes have been my favourite Chinese New Year food.

When did you start making your own turnip cakes? And when did that interest turn into a business?

I started making my own radish cake maybe 30 years ago when I was in my 40s. I have seven brothers and five sisters so, as you can imagine, I have to cook a lot, around 70 radish cakes, 10 taro cakes and 30 coconut puddings each year.

In my 50s, a lot of friends wanted to learn how to cook radish cake and coconut puddings from me. Around that time, I also got into contact again with my cooking master, Ms. Pearl Chen (江獻珠). Since then, I also made traditional Chinese cakes for my cooking master as my tribute to her.

When I turned 60, I was encouraged by my friends and family to start doing my own Chinese New Year products as a business. As I always had a burning desire to open a restaurant, selling food products was an alternative for me to realise my dream. I started off with three products, namely radish cake, coconut pudding and water chestnut cake. The radish cake is still our hero product for the season.

Tell us about this year's collaboration with Man Wah. What was it like to work with Chef Wong Wing Keung?

I got to know Chef Wong over four years ago during one of my home banquets. He was shy and quiet during the meal but as I was curious about what life was like for a Chinese chef, I followed his Facebook. I then realized the real side of him: good humor, genuine and friendly. Two years later, he became my fifth disciple，五師弟. Chef Wong is a very seasoned Cantonese chef, so actually, it was an honor to be able to become his cooking master. I also learnt a lot of cooking skills from him too.

In September last year, I asked if he would like to create a new Chinese New Year product together. With permission from Mandarin Oriental Hotel management, Chef Wong and I brainstormed what will be a good and meaningful product. Him and I separately are fond of using aged tangerine peels to in our cooking. From time to time, he will spend several days cooking aged-tangerine peels with honey and Italian lemon and give away to restaurant’s customers.

Chef Wong is very creative and within a short while, he suggested to jointly produce a new flavoured cake: Radish cake with aged tangerine peel. Bingo! He and I are both very knowledgeable in tangerine peels and the making of radish cakes, so with a few rounds of trials, we finally came up with a recipe to produce this year’s cake. It was a very enjoyable experience.

What's new for your brand this year?

For my brand Dashijie, I created two new products recently, preserved meat sausage with aged tangerine peel, and black bean sauce with Japanese dried scallops and aged tangerine peel.

Local sustainability-minded brand Wear Earthero launches two signature capsules this month with a focus on bringing new life to vintage designer goods, and upcycling locally sourced deadstock fabrics into wearable art. 

Wear Earthero (pronounced “Earth-hero") is a subsidiary of Earthero Project, an eco-community with a focus on providing sustainable services and education to schools and corporations. This year, the group launched two capsules to promote local artistic talent, and to bring more awareness to sustainability and heritage. 

About the brand

Founder Bertha Shum explains, “I never planned to start a clothing line, but, while writing and reading more about sustainability, I often come across various concepts about how polluting and environmentally unfriendly the fashion industry is. That’s when I started thinking about upcycling deadstock fabrics locally. 

“By chance, really, I came across this Facebook post a friend shared about a huge sale on deadstock fabric. I decided to pay a visit to Sham Shui Po to check it out. Chatting with the owner, I found out that it’s very common for fabric sellers to have just a few yards or scraps of fabric left after designers purchased enough. Often, those fabrics are hard to sell as it’s not scalable. The leftover will usually be disposed.” 

Working intimately with a team of seamstresses in a small studio in Sham Shui Po, Shum designs each piece of her collection in small matches, creating illustrations, patterns and labels using silkscreen printing to reduce their carbon footprint as much as possible. This process ensures that there’s minimal waste, and that all pieces are indeed, limited edition.  

The exhibition

The first capsule by Wear Earthero is titled “Classics Reimagined” — a collection of vintage wearables freshly embellished with incredibly detailed art by local artist Viki Chan.  

Their second, “Wear Earthero Art-isan Collective”, was a platform that gathered young artists in the city to express their interpretations of local culture and conscious living. Each artist was given a piece of deadstock fabric to paint on; the pieces were then assembled by the seamstresses in Sham Shui Po into stylish kimono jackets to be auctioned off with a respective NFT. 

Bids ended in mid-January with all jackets successfully auctioned off. A portion of each sale was donated to charities J Life Foundation and Green Sense.
