Typhoon Yagi is bearing down on Hong Kong this week, bringing with it unstable weather, so you might want to postpone your alfresco meals, rooftop dinner parties and outdoor activities.
For those looking to wine and dine this weekend come rain or shine, here are some cosy indoor suggestions.
1. Cornerstone
Inspired by the flavours of a recent trip he took to Western Australia, chef Neal Ledesma is updating Cornerstone’s menu to include plenty of seafood items, with items like grilled Fremantle octopus and a pan-fried “Humpty Doo” barramundi sourced from an Australian sustainable farm.
Lamingtons – an Australian sponge cake coated in chocolate and rolled in coconut flakes – are also available, but with a twist of mango jam and pandan Chantilly cream.
49 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan

2. Zuma
For those who love brunch but not the heavy drinking that often comes with it, there is a new non-alcoholic drinks brunch package (HK$828/US$105) at Zuma, where patrons can enjoy 2.5 hours of Saicho hojicha sparkling tea, soft drinks and juices.
There are also several new menu items, such as crab salad with avocado, mizuna and sesame dressing, beef tartare bun with pickles and spicy mayo, sweetcorn tempura with nori sea salt and Japanese takoyaki with nori, bonito and yuzu mayo.
Level 5 and 6 Landmark Atrium, 15 Queen’s Road Central, Central

3. Clipper Lounge
The lounge at the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong hotel has partnered with Hong Kong fashion brand Vivienne Tam to present a three-tiered, Chinese chic-themed afternoon tea set. Items include a sesame and walnut macaron adorned with a red and gold edible dragon, mahjong-inspired crispy rice and a jasmine chocolate cookie.
M/F, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, 5 Connaught Road Central, Central
4. Mirage Bar and Restaurant
Indulge in an afternoon tea featuring two decadent ingredients – caviar and chocolate – at Mirage at the Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View hotel in Wan Chai.

Caviar items in the Connoisseurship Teatime set includes the mini prawn and truffle roll, the deep-fried oyster and blinis, and the apple chips with blue cheese.
There is also Valrhona chocolate, seen in items like the chocolate Madeleine and the chocolate tart, for sweet lovers.
1/F, Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel, 1 Harbour Road, Wan Chai
5. Cruise
The restaurant at the Hyatt Centric Victoria Harbour Hong Kong hotel in North Point is hosting a four-course, pink-themed brunch (HK$680) on September 7, with drag performances to brighten up your weekend.
Expect Tina Uglyhaira, Pansze Diva and Queen Kong from Canada to make appearances.
23/F, West Tower, Hyatt Centric Victoria Harbour Hong Kong, 1 North Point Estate Lane, North Point
