HOT NEW TABLES November 2018: New Restaurants in Hong Kong

1 / 8

Baked Café Bar

You might already know of South-African chef Zahir Mohamed – maybe you went to his PMQ Workshop, visited his Baked Bistro pop-up at Taste Kitchen, or you’ve seen him on Masterchef. If you haven’t heard of him, this is your chance to get in on the freshly baked sourdough action. Baked is shaping up to become your go-to “hole in the wall” spot, offering breakfasts and lunch by day and transforming into a tapas and cocktails bar at night. Eats include a Baked Benedict ($145) with basil infused hollandaise, two poached eggs, and bresaola on the breakfast menu and Crispy Chicken Wings ($130) coated in a homemade spicy wing on the dinner menu. Check out the Instagram for more updates.

Daarukhana

Promising a “dazzling new take” on desi cuisine, contemporary Indian restaurant Daarukhana is ready to take on curry myths and shrug off conventions. Intended for sharing, the menu features dishes such as a pan-seared minced American Duck Shami with fig chutney and smoked papadum and Dum Ke Chaap, lamb chops prepared in the traditional North Indian way — slow-cooked in a rich gravy seasoned with a spicy saffron sauce. Make sure to check out the Tandoor menu and the vegetarian dishes available. Socials are coming soon (as of writing), but you can contact Daarukhana at 9889 9768 or [email protected]

Sanwa Jo

In Japanese, “san” means three, and “wa” refers to Japanese cuisine: Sanwa Jo pays tribute to tradition, offering something for everyone through three main culinary themes! Featuring sushi, teppanyaki and robatayaki, it promises to be a journey full of different tastes and textures. The grand opening will be on Sunday, 1 December, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep this on your radar – guests and friends can still be entertained throughout November.
