Sassy Social Dinner Party

Fancy a night of delicious food, great drinks and even better company? Then make a date with our next Sassy Social dinner party at scrummy Mediterranean resto Porto Fino. We’ve arranged a fantastic three-course meal with wine pairings and a welcome drink for this very special evening at only $380 per person (it would normally cost $580, so it’s a bit of a bargain if we do say so ourselves!), plus it’s the ideal chance to make new friends and enjoy a great night out with the girls (you’ll change seats in-between each course). It’s definitely the closest we’re getting to a South European getaway this September anyway!

When: 12 September, 7-9pm
Where: Porto Fino, 28 Old Bailey Street, Central, Hong Kong
How much: $380 per person, buy tickets here
