Tsuta
When the world’s first Michelin-starred ramen shop opened up in Causeway Bay back in May, we couldn’t wait to try its renowned ramen. Now that Tsuta is opening a second branch in Harbour City, we’re even more excited. Set to open on Sunday, 24 September, the new location will also be serving up a new and exclusive “Miso Soba” and we can’t wait to try it! Better start queuing now, girls.

Baking Maniac
Ready to satisfy that sweet tooth? One of our beloved Hong Kong cake companies has finally opened it’s very own venue in Wong Chuk Hang! The mum and son duo (he was just 12 years old when he began!) actually baked for the Sassy Christmas Party back in 2012 – so we can fully vouch for these decadent creations. The new location is a vast space, featuring everything from a commercial kitchen to a multipurpose event and dining space. Perfect for parties, classes and events! Its grand opening will be on Saturday, 14 October.
