The exponentially rising number of cases in this fifth wave of Covid-19 in Hong Kong has made the end of the pandemic seem further off than ever. The strict social-distancing limits of only two guests per table and dining until 6pm until at least April 20 has made it difficult for restaurants to continue operating.
Some have closed temporarily, others have found innovative ways to serve their customers, albeit in a takeaway format.
Some of Hong Kong’s top hotels are offering mouth-watering dishes that diners can enjoy at home.
Here are some suggestions.

The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong has something for everyone, with a variety of takeaway sets featuring Chinese, Indian and Singaporean cuisines.
On the “Taste of Hong Kong” menu, there are dishes such as braised bird’s nest soup with minced chicken and bamboo pith, braised whole abalone with sea cucumber, and fried rice in abalone sauce wrapped in lotus leaf.
Indians’ love of K-pop and K-dramas makes them hungry for Korean food
For a “Taste of Singapore”, diners can tuck into assorted grilled satays, grilled marinated stingray with sambal sauce, and wok-fried cereal king prawn.
Finally, “Taste of India” dishes include yellow lentil dhal soup, vegetable samosas, butter chicken, snapper Goan fish curry, and mixed vegetable masala curry. Visit ritzcarltonhkshop.com and look for the Asian Delights Takeaway set.
International Commerce Centre, 1 Austin Road West, Kowloon, tel: 2263 2263

Michelin-star Man Wah, at the Mandarin Oriental, offers some gourmet à la carte items such as barbecue Iberian pork loin with longan honey (above), hot and sour soup with fish maw, wok-fried Australian M9 Wagyu with garlic, and fried rice vermicelli with crabmeat and egg. There’s even an option for wine pairings, if requested.
Orders must be placed 24 hours in advance, and there is a complimentary delivery service for orders over HK$2,000. To view the menu, visit the Man Wah website.

If you can’t eat Peking duck for dinner in a restaurant, have it at home, thanks to The Legacy House, at Rosewood Hong Kong. Customers can order a whole duck and have an additional course of wok-fried minced duck in lettuce wrap.
Other dishes on offer include marinated pomelo pith, double-boiled partridge soup with dried mussel and figs, and braised porcini noodles with fish maw, spring onion and ginger.
Go to the “Dining” section of the hotel’s website and click on “Rosewood on the Move” to order.
