The latest Hong Kong food news and events 2025

It only makes sense that two F&B outlets whose very identities are giant love letters to Hong Kong will collaborate eventually. On July 31, Gavin Yeung from everyone’s favourite Cantonese cocktail bar Kinsman will take over the bar at the hottest dai pai dong pop-up in town, Peng Leng Jeng. There will be three exclusive cocktails that channel the energy of a fiery wok, and also a zero-proof creation so everyone can enjoy. Even if you miss the night when Yeung is personally behind the stick, his drinks will stay on the menu for two weeks.

Peng Leng Jeng and Ho Lee Fook’s chef Archan Chan will return the favour on August 14, bringing her Cantonese dishes to Kinsman’s kitchen and even mixing up her own cheeky cocktail to go with the bites. If you love Hong Kong and its dazzling flavours, we’ll see you there!

While we’re waiting with baited breath for the next season of Netflix’s hit cooking reality show Culinary Class Wars, chef Cho Kwang-hyo, also known as the Comic Book Chef, is coming to Hong Kong for a very limited time only. In collaboration with Pirata group’s own Korean-born executive chef Kyle Lee, chef Cho kicks off with dinner on July 4, followed by brunch and dinner on July 5.

Diners can expect a delicious melding of Asia’s best flavours, presented in chef Cho’s signature experimental takes on cuisine, such as in a Korean take on the Japanese uni hot stone rice, Korean soybean MacJeok seabass, and chef Cho’s signature Dongpo pork complemented with mapo tofu and fried rice done the Korean way. 

Due to overwhelming demand for seats on these two days, the chefs are adding a final dinner service on Sunday, July 6. Here’s a great opportunity to meet this exciting on-screen chef in person, and to try the Comic Book Chef’s offerings without the long waitlists and travelling to Korea. Select dishes from this collaboration will be available at Honjokko until August 3.
