Special Menus and Offers

Chaiwala

Known for its modern twist on authentic Indian dishes, Chaiwala is unveiling a new menu this month. Carnivores are sure to love the Indochina pork ribs and the char-grilled tandoori beef ribs, but there is also plenty new for the veggies out there. Offerings include a paneer tikka skewer and vegan kofta curry, which can all be complemented by sides of chote mote aloo anardan; kashimiri nuttie mutter pulao; and mint paratha. Guests opting for the “Dabbawala Tasting Menu” can enjoy a carefully-curated wine pairing alongside their meal, but Chaiwala is also offering a new range of inventive mocktails to wash down all that spice, with refreshing, non-alcoholic drinks including the Punjab Cadillac Colada Virgin and the Shikanji.

Chaiwala, Basement, 43-55, Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong, www.chaiwala.hk 

Le Petit Saigon whats new in the 852

Le Petit Saigon

As part of Le Petit Saigon’s continued “Bánh mì du Monde” series, this month’s special is courtesy of Chef Shun Sato of Fukuro. Combining the Vietnamese sarnie with the classic Japanese dish, the new offering is taking its cue from Tokyo’s iconic on-the-go sandos. Available in store and via Black Sheep Restaurants GO until 30 September, expect to tuck into a freshly-baked baguette filled to the brim with juicy Kagoshima pork katsu, tangy Tonkatsu sauce and a rich Japanese mustard coleslaw.

Think fresh seafood delights paired with juicy meat dishes and, of course, pasta. Priced at $428, the limited-edition menu changes to focus on a different Italian region every two weeks. To complete the experience, each menu will offer the option of a glass of regional wine for an additional $68 per guest.
