From a new food hall to a boozy afternoon tea and Nyonya treats, here’s where to eat in Hong Kong this month.
Graham St Food Hall
Graham St Food Hall, Central’s latest food market-inspired concept, recently opened its doors in trendy NoHo. The all-day dining venue, conceptualised by the team behind popular eateries La Viña and Smoke & Barrels, celebrates global flavours and culinary traditions with a wide array of sweet and savoury options. The dog-friendly space houses homegrown vendors serving fresh and elevated comfort food and was conceived as a community hang-out for diners to socialise and work. Some of the innovative concepts include Hambāgā, which serves customisable Japanese-style hamburg steak donburi bowls and Motown Pizza & Wings, the first place in Hong Kong to serve thick and cheesy Detroit-style pizza.

Karana
Karana, Asia’s first whole-plant based meat brand, has recently launched in Hong Kong. The brand’s first product, meatless pork made from young jackfruit, is sustainable, guilt-free and versatile. Unlike other meat alternatives, Karana’s pork only uses four ingredients and is minimally processed. To celebrate its landing in the city and its versatility, the brand has partnered with six celebrated restaurants, including Sip Song by Maximal Concepts; Central’s Emerald; all Elephant Grounds outlets and Cantonese restaurant Cheung Kung Koon. At Chaat, Rosewood’s award-winning Indian concept, Chef Manav Tuli is using Karana for a meatless version of his baked Samosa.
