As we start to feel the heat of Hong Kong’s infamous summer sun, we renew our efforts and go on the hunt for the latest and greatest food offerings. Dining out is still discouraged, so we’re staying in and browsing through new food delivery menus launched in Hong Kong this May to go through social distancing with a full and sated belly. After all, one can only bear so much instant ramen.
Motorino is bringing the pies straight to your home with their Virtual Pizza Making Party, taking place on 9 and 23 May. Whichever date you choose, put your order down via their website to receive a Motorino pizza-making kit between 10 am and 12 pm and promptly log onto Instagram Live at 12.30 pm for a live cook-along with Chef Luca Marinelli, who will show you how to chop your ingredients, then shape and top your dough.
Need an extra bit of help while you’re crafting your doughy masterpiece? Chef Luca will also be taking questions in real-time—just post them in the comments! Whether you opt for the classic Margherita ($208) or spice things up with the fiery Soppressata Piccante ($228), you can round out the meal with a Tiramisu ($68) or an optional add-on of white or red wine. Since Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend, not make it a group activity and sling some pies with mum? Just be sure to order your pizza-making kit at least two days ahead of time.
If you think you’ve already glimpsed every possible angle of the Victoria Harbour, think again and head over to the West Kowloon Cultural District. Newly-opened PANO, specialising in Asian-French cuisine, is the only dining establishment in the entire Cultural District with an unobstructed, outdoor view, boasting panoramas that are second to none. Helmed by executive chef Ken Lau—a favourite amongst Hong Kong celebrities—the sophisticated menu combines French culinary arts with premium local and Asian ingredients.
From playful amuse-bouches of crispy, homemade beetroot cone with Thai-flavoured Hokkaido scallop tartare to tender and toothsome starters of Applewood Smoked Organic Broccoli Royale with Hokkaido Sea Urchin, every course on the 10-course tasting menu ($1,188) is elegant, delicate, and expertly balanced, beautifully presented for an unparalleled dining experience.
Spaghetti with Clams & Chilli, a Chinese take on an Italian classic, spotlights a meticulously prepared spicy sauce crafted with Sichuan peppers, and Miyazaki Wagyu Beef Two Ways, finished with Indonesian sweet potato purée and black truffle sauce cooked with beef-bone, will have meat lovers drooling from the rich aromas. Wrap up with the creative Dried Beancurd Mille Feuille with Dried Beancurd and Pearl Barley Sorbet for a taste of Chef Ken’s innovative combination of French desserts and classic Cantonese sweet soups.
Those in the mood for a smaller meal can opt for something off of the à la carte menu, which boasts dishes like the sweet and briny Sea Urchin Risotto ($398) and the succulent Homemade Linguine with Spanish Red Prawn ($348). Dining at PANO comes at a pretty penny, but it will be an unforgettable culinary adventure, especially with a brand-new vantage point of Hong Kong’s iconic harbour at your side. We know it’s not a takeaway or delivery experience, but you’ll want to venture out of your homes for this one.
