The dining industry stands firm in face of the pandemic with new openings and new menus, with special afternoon teas at Mandarin Oriental and Hyatt Regency, plus weekend brunches

As the fifth wave of the pandemic rages on in Hong Kong, brave restaurateurs are still wading into the waters with the belief that better times lay ahead for the city in months to come.

While the government is encouraging everyone to stay safe, be smart and remain home right now, here are some exciting new ventures to make a mental note of, to come and try out when restaurant restrictions are a thing of the past.

New openings

Undoubtedly one of the most exciting openings in town, Korean sensation Mosu will land in the M+ museum building at the end of the month. The tasting menu-only establishment will bring the spirit of the two Michelin-starred restaurant to Hong Kong with elegant and innovative cuisine. Diners can anticipate menu items such as sesame toasted tofu and Hanwoo beef in mushroom essence.

Promising to bring innovative elements to traditional Chinese dining, Chineseology is a welcome addition to IFC Mall. Chef Saito Chau is an alum of creative Chinese cuisine establishments such as Hutong, John Anthony and Dim Sum Library and we cannot wait to try the Mao-tai stewed chicken and the softshell prawn in salted egg yolk and barley crisp.

A new all-you-can-eat extravaganza has landed in Harbour City. Get ready for mountains of seafood, a carving station and an array of hot dishes such as delectable curries, chicken tikka fresh from the tandoori oven and more. The weekend brunch comes in at a very reasonable US$60 (HK$468) per person. Definitely one to keep in mind for a budget-friendly breakout meal in the coming months ahead.
