Clams At Mustard Cafe And Bar
With menus written out on blackboards in chalk, this Tai Hang restaurant brings a little bit of Paris to Hong Kong. Although the menu is regularly updated, the clams in white wine and garlic sauce come highly recommended by our Designer Grace (a certified foodie!).

Viral Chocolate Via The Nuts Factory
Our Managing Editor Stef bit the bullet and tried that viral Dubai chocolate from The Nuts Factory, and it really did live up to the hype! Not only is the pistachio cream-stuffed chocolate bar hand-carried from NYC to HK, it was also as rich and creamy as it looks on your FYP!

12-Course Vegetarian Menu at Yuan
Not all fine dining is created equal, especially for those of us that are plant-based. But our Editor Anna was blown away by the elevated Cantonese cuisine at Yuan, whose fully vegetarian, 12-course menu draws on familiar street foods and traditional Chinese flavours, but adds a gastronomical twist.
