Hong Kong F&B Leaders Share Key 2025 Insights and Trend Predictions

Header 1

As 2024 comes to a close, The Beat Asia caught up with some of the city’s F&B executives, key opinion leaders (KOLs), entrepreneurs, chefs, bar managers, and innovators reflecting on the past year as they share insightful trend forecasts for 2025. Although Hong Kong’s food and beverage (F&B) industry did not rebound as quickly as anticipated post-pandemic, the year is still ending on a strong note.

As of October 2024, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) reported over 36 million visitors traveling into the city, already surpassing 2023’s 34 million total, and they are anticipating a sharper curve in the new year. The return of Asia’s 50 Best Bars Award Ceremony in July welcomed professionals and enthusiasts from the international bar scene for a heartwarming season of events culminating in Hong Kong’s own Bar Leone being named Best in Asia in 2024. Notable music festivals like Clockenflap and Hypefest were unique opportunities for the city’s trendiest F&B establishments to showcase and create a unique menu. In October, the Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival welcomed 155,000 locals and visitors to explore over 300 F&B vendors representing 35 countries and regions.

Looking forward, sustainability will be an important focus in 2025, moving from buzzword status to applicable, tangible solutions put into effect by the city’s leading establishments. Building up a resilient industry will be essential to the longevity of Hong Kong’s renowned global F&B status, as our city’s key players continue to drive the next generation of hospitality whilst initiating positive change.

Another key trend to look out for will be fostering a strong local community. As we welcome inbound tourism, guest bartender shifts, and four-hands dinners, key F&B stakeholders are looking to reignite locals’ engagement — creating vibrant neighborhood hubs and inspiring a culture that is not only about food and beverages, but also about connections and the people who make this city so great.

The Beat Asia sat down with the city’s industry leaders as they shared highlights from the past year and what to expect in the year ahead. Here’s what they had to say:

Eshan Arif, Head of Business Development at Hong Kong Beer Co. and Co-Founder of Dead Poets

It’s been a whirlwind of a year! A few highlights would be moving and upgrading Hong Kong Beer Co. (HKBC)’s brewery to Kwun Tong with a state-of-the-art facility, winning country champion for HK and best medium sized brewery at the Asia Beer Championship this summer, and Dead Poets turning one was a nice way to round off the year’s highlights!

I am looking forward to seeing more local F&B places open up and some new talent enter Hong Kong. On the beverage side, my personal prediction is that the nonalcoholic segment will grow especially with beer and mocktails. At HKBC, I'd like to see more and more restaurants and bars embrace nonalcoholic beers, especially if they’re made locally. And we already see a demand at Dead Poets for flavorful mocktails that are not just sugary and expensive.

May Chow, Chef and Founder of Little Bao and Happy Paradise

May Chow, Chef and Founder of Little Bao and Happy Paradise

In 2024, a significant highlight was the revitalization of TaiTaiPiePies, which we saved because we were such big fans of their carrot cake and apple pie, and couldn’t bear for it to end. Additionally, we focused on preparing for the launch of our retail brandMay Chow’ featuring our highly anticipated seasonal turnip cake and signature hot sauce.

In 2025, I believe the trend will reward a select few who are truly exceptional and daring in their ideas and execution. Those who are already at the top of their game, with original and innovative concepts, will have the chance to reap the most rewards. However, those who offer more of the same will struggle to stand out.

In these challenging times, people are placing more value on their health and how they spend their time. I believe concepts that foster community, offer meaningful events, and excel in both creativity and F&B will thrive. Consumers are increasingly seeking authentic experiences, and those who can combine ingenuity with purpose will be the ones to succeed.

Charlene Dawes, Managing Director at Tastings Group

Charlene Dawes, Managing Director at Tastings Group

2024 was a very eventful year for your group, we opened Draft Land in Causeway Bay earlier in the year, our first outlet outside of Central, followed by a smaller Draft Land at Basehall 02. Then The Opposites on Hollywood Road featuring Antonio Lai with Samuel Kwok. [Most] recently, [we opened] Medora and Liz & Tori on Wellington Street with Chef Vicky Cheng. We haven’t opened that many outlets in a single year; although it’s still a challenging environment, we felt the timing was good in 2024. And the key is to have the right concept and people involved.

For the Hong Kong F&B scene, I am looking [forward] to more casual drinking and eating establishments with ingredients-driven drinks concepts and simple garnishes. I think the trend of no/low [alcohol by volume beverages] will continue, gaining more momentum. Customers are more aware of the alcohol and sugar in their drinks. So, I expect to see bars with an expanded mocktail menu providing more choices to customers.

Richard Ekkebus, Director of Culinary Operations and Food and Beverage at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

Richard Ekkebus, Director of Culinary Operations and Food and Beverage at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

No doubt [my highlight of the year] would be our hotel entering into a transformative journey, where [we bid farewell to] the signature, legendary MO Bar and our speakeasy Please Don’t Tell in October. It was a milestone for the team, where we revisited all the iconic moments and memories of these two legendary establishments from the past 19 years.

While our hotel is currently in renovation, Amber, SOMM, and our two Japanese restaurants Sushi Shikon and Kappo Rin remain open to delight our guests with extraordinary dining experiences. We also launched our LMO Freshly Baked “Savoury & Sweet Edition” at BaseHall with new savory and grab-and-go items. 2024 is a year with surprises and we look forward to many more revolutionary concepts coming in live! Stay tuned!

I believe sustainability would still be the focus of Hong Kong’s F&B industry. We have made progress, the press writes about it as there is genuine interest, our guests are asking relevant questions, and the industry is making changes. More businesses are making changes, we are moving forward. As we have seen over the years, it is a subject that has influenced guests’ [worldwide] decision to support and dine in restaurants that are taking responsibility.

Kenichi Fujimoto, Founder and Executive Chef of Sushi Fujimoto

Kenichi Fujimoto, Founder and Executive Chef of Sushi Fujimoto

One highlight of 2024 was receiving multiple prestigious awards from F&B publications. These accolades are not just a reflection of our efforts but also a testament to the unwavering support from our team, loyal customers, and partners. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who believed in us and contributed to this achievement. As we look forward to 2025, our focus will be on enhancing guest satisfaction even further, ensuring that each visitor leaves with a memorable experience.

2024 has been challenging, but also enlightening. I learned that flexibility is crucial. Instead of adhering strictly to initial plans, we embraced a mindset that allowed alternative solutions and innovative approaches.

I am optimistic about the potential for growth within Hong Kong's F&B industry. I believe we can achieve this through collaboration, innovation, and a focus on quality. By working together, we can create a more resilient and dynamic dining landscape that attracts both locals and tourists. I hope to see more emphasis on sustainability, creativity, and community engagement.

Attention to detail will be paramount; by focusing on the little things — whether it’s the quality of ingredients, presentation of dishes, or overall dining experience — we can set ourselves apart in a competitive market. On a personal level, we are very excited about our upcoming events in February and first overseas event in Singapore in March.

Gagan Gurung, Co-Founder of Tell Camellia, Barcode, and Singular Concepts

Hong Kong has always been at the forefront of new ideas, constantly pushing boundaries. However, 2024 served as a learning curve for many of us in the F&B industry, showcasing gradual changes in terms of food and drink. Fine dining seems to be dwindling, paving the way for the rise of casual dining experiences like those offered at Samsen and Barkada.

Bar Leone’s recent success has once again demonstrated Hong Kong's ability to provide excellent food and cocktail choices, revolutionizing the city’s F&B scene.

As we anticipate 2025, a new era is dawning in Hong Kong, focusing on innovative and delectable food and drink options that will capture the hearts of the people. The emerging trend will likely be casual dining paired with a great selection of cocktails, similar to the rise of cafes in 2022.

While some establishments in the F&B sector may face challenges, others are thriving, showcasing the industry's positive aspects. Here's to a memorable 2024, and let's all embrace 2025 with enthusiasm and optimism, ready for a fresh start.

Delphine Kong, Brand Ambassador of Campari Group

Delphine Kong, Brand Ambassador of Campari Group

Reflecting on the past year, a standout moment for me was leading the Campari Red Hands bartender competition, because it marks a milestone in my journey. 5 years ago, I was a competitor on the stage and now I find myself in a different role, orchestrating the magic behind the scenes. Transitioning from contestant to curator has been a full-circle journey of growth and learning. Collaborating with the new generation of Hong Kong’s bartenders has been incredibly rewarding and I’m thrilled for more participants to join us in 2025!

In the upcoming year, I foresee a shift in consumer behavior including a rise in Low/No ABV trends and an emphasis on early drinking while consumers are in constant pursuit of unique and memorable experiences.

As the Brand Ambassador of Campari Group, we embrace this movement with aperitivo culture and the iconic low ABV Aperol Spritz. In 2025, We are dedicated to curating more experiences that revolve around daytime indulgence and vibrant DJ-infused events featuring Aperol Spritz. I will continue to educate and share this incredible Italian tradition — a ritual that invites us to slow down, unwind, and savor relaxed moments with our friends.

Gregoire Michaud, Founder of Bakehouse

Gregoire Michaud, Founder of Bakehouse

In 2024, I saw exciting trends in bakeries, especially with global flavors, artisanal baking, and packaging innovation. For us, we revisited classics such as Tiramisu or Crème Brûlée and adapted them into creative pastries. Another big influence of 2024 was to bring unusual and local tastes while keeping classic bakery comforts, like our Tai O Shrimp Roll or our Shatin Longan Honey Toast. Artisanal baking is growing, with bakeries focusing on small-batch, handmade items using local, seasonal ingredients. Sourdough remains popular, and the emphasis is on quality and tradition. As for packaging, we have been focusing on eco-friendly, recyclable, or reusable materials. It’s a great time of creativity for bakery lovers!

For 2025, for us in Hong Kong, we will continue to be creative with local flavors, sustainability, and global influences. You’ve read it here first, but think Mexican churro-inspired pastries, maybe Indian cardamom buns or Yellow Skin jam doughnuts *wink* — flavors from all over the world, mixed into fun new combinations.

We will continue our never-ending eco-friendly initiatives, such as targeting zero-waste baking (like turning our leftover sourdough bread into delicious sweets or investing in new technologies to reduce waste in production and at the shops). There’ll also be more refillable containers in our packaging line. It’s all about making delicious, creative, and environmentally-conscious baked goods.

Palash Mitra, Culinary Director, South Asian Cuisines at Black Sheep Restaurants and Executive Chef at Prince and The Peacock, New Punjab Club, and Rajasthan Rifles

Palash Mitra, Culinary Director, South Asian Cuisines at Black Sheep Restaurants and Executive Chef at Prince and The Peacock, New Punjab Club, and Rajasthan Rifles

One of the standout moments of 2024 was the opportunity to travel to India with the opening team of Prince and the Peacock. Working closely with Asim [Hussain] during the development stages of the restaurant was particularly rewarding. We collaborated on everything from menu design to sourcing authentic ingredients, and this teamwork fostered a strong bond between us. Seeing our vision come to life and receiving positive feedback from guests was incredibly gratifying, marking a significant milestone in my culinary journey.

I am excited about the emergence of new generations of chefs within the culinary field. This influx of fresh talent and perspectives is invigorating, as younger chefs bring their unique backgrounds and experiences to the table. Additionally, the rise of international collaborations among chefs is fostering an environment rich in diversity and inspiration. This collaborative spirit not only elevates the dining experience but also encourages a sense of community within the industry.

Looking ahead, the hospitality industry in Hong Kong is poised to experience several significant trends by 2025 driven by evolving consumer preferences, particularly as diners become more conscious of health, sustainability, and quality. Technological advancements will also play a crucial role in streamlining operations and enhancing the guest experience. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on sustainability, with restaurants and hotels increasingly adopting eco-friendly practices, such as reducing food waste and sourcing local ingredients.

Theign Phan, Executive Chef at Grand Majestic Sichuan

Theign Phan, Executive Chef at Grand Majestic Sichuan

One of the most memorable moments of 2024 was bringing Grand Majestic Sichuan to Singapore, my hometown, in April for a collaboration with Chef Cheung at Summer Pavilion. This event felt like a homecoming, filled with nostalgia and excitement. It was incredibly special to have my parents and sisters join us for dinner, witnessing my journey and success firsthand. Their presence made me feel truly blessed, as I was able to share my culinary passion with my loved ones while showcasing the rich flavors of Sichuan cuisine. It was a heartfelt reminder of where I came from and the support that has fueled my growth as a chef.

As I look ahead to 2025, I am eager to see an increase in crossover collaborations and the exchange of ideas between different cuisines in Hong Kong. Such collaborations not only enrich our own culinary practices but also enhance the dining experience for patrons, who are always seeking something new and exciting. I believe this spirit of collaboration will foster creativity and elevate the overall quality of our food culture.

I foresee that bold young cooks will increasingly establish small pop-ups or intimate restaurants, stepping into the world of entrepreneurship with enthusiasm and determination. These young chefs bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, and their fearless approach will undoubtedly contribute to the evolution of our industry in exciting ways.

Loic Portalier, Executive Chef at Louise

Loic Portalier, Executive Chef at Louise

One of the biggest highlights for me [and Louise] this year was the constant evolution and change regarding the guest dining experience.

More specifically, we realized that guests now have different manners of spending when it comes to dining. For instance, we are seeing a rise in preferences towards more casual and affordable pricing and a [notable] decrease in dining times.

Additionally, guests now prefer to have a wider variety of choices, while expecting to retain a high quality of food and ingredients being offered, which we have been adapting to this past year.

I’m looking forward to pushing new creative boundaries at Louise with my team and working in a busier scene within Hong Kong’s F&B industry next year.

I think we are going to see a rise in more casual concepts within dining, as we see guests lean more into enjoying comforting in an easy-going, pleasant atmosphere – which is something Louise is implementing through La Terrace by Louise. For example, the ambiance, service, food, and selection of drinks will be more casual at La Terrace compared to our main dining room, while still delivering the same high-quality experience. With these offerings, I believe we can elevate our guests’ overall experience while keeping up with this trend.

Ezra Star, Founder of Mostly Harmless and Co-Founder of Call Me AL, Artifact Bar, and Ponty CAFé

Looking back on the past year, one of the biggest highlights was seeing the entire Hong Kong bar community come together and show Asia what we have to offer during Asia’s 50 Best Bars. Hong Kong's bar scene is quite incredible and to see the community holding various events and working together to bring guests to one another’s places really highlights the incredible breadth of people and places Hong Kong has to offer.

I'm looking forward to fewer guest bartending shifts and more events that are focused on our guests in Hong Kong. I think we as a community are using guest shifts as an excuse to get guests in and make a name for our businesses at the detriment of enjoyable unique experiences. I think the trend of more local or neighborhood bars really points to this and is a clear indicator that more and more guests are looking for a great time that's not [just] about a list. And I think this is a growing trend not only in Asia, but globally.

Christian Talpo, Co-Founder and CEO of Pirata Group

Christian Talpo, Co-Founder and CEO of Pirata Group

Looking back at the past year, a highlight for me in 2024 was undoubtedly returning to Hong Kong, which has been my home since the 1990s. I have a deep love for this city, and coming back to lead the Pirata Group, which I founded, has filled me with a renewed sense of gratitude and determination.

As for what I'm looking forward to in Hong Kong's F&B industry in 2025, my personal forecast is a return to a sense of normalcy. The past few years have been turbulent, and the city is still finding its footing after the lifting of travel restrictions in 2023.

I'm hopeful that 2025 will bring a period of stability, where we can plan beyond just month-to-month and truly focus on the long-term future.

While it's difficult to predict the industry's trends without considering the broader socio-political events happening globally, as a humble restaurateur, I have a deep respect for Hong Kong and its resilient people. I'm confident that this city will regain its former glory, and I look forward to being a part of its future success.

Germaine Woon, Founder of The Foundry Asia

Germaine Woon, Founder of The Foundry Asia

The highlights for me this year were undoubtedly the travel opportunities and our incredible portfolio of clients. We have the privilege of representing extraordinary names like NARISAWA, Chef May Chow, and Beckaly Franks. This year, we represented clients across Sydney, Manila, Dubai, Shanghai, Seoul, and many more. Bringing my team along and giving them the chance to experience the F&B scene beyond Hong Kong was incredibly rewarding — it’s moments like these that make it all worthwhile.

One standout moment was transforming the iconic venue Ser Wong Fun into a vibrant canto disco with our sponsors. We also brought the majority of our APAC clients into Hong Kong during Asia's 50 Best Bars alongside our local portfolio. It felt like winning the lottery — every interaction felt like family, and that sense of community made the experience truly unforgettable.

Even though I’m now based in Singapore and constantly traveling, the F&B community in Hong Kong continues to feel like home. I’m looking forward to seeing more community-based collaborations and taking our clients on more APAC travels to explore new opportunities together.

Something I’ve observed and deeply value [is] food cultures that honor tradition while being thoughtfully reimagined. There’s a growing appreciation for simplicity — people want great food, rooted in authenticity, paired with genuine hospitality, and a memorable dining experience. I see this continuing to shape the industry in 2025.

Nothing beats a city that’s hosting The World’s 50 Best Bars ceremony and announcing the winner being one of the city’s own.

On Oct. 8, 2025, Hong Kong hosted The World’s 50 Best Bars awards at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, the bar industry’s most prestigious event. For only the second time in history, the ceremony was held in Asia, and in a poetic twist, the host city’s own Bar Leone takes the #1 spot, earning the award as The World’s Best Bar 2025.

Founded in 2023 by Lorenzo Antinori, Bar Leone is a tribute to Roman cocktail popolari, with simple yet soulful drinks served with warmth. Its iconic, monthly rotating Google Docs menu reflects Antinori’s mission to make mixology accessible to all. The bar’s rapid rise, from debuting at #2 globally in 2024 to claiming #1 this year, marks a proud milestone for Asia’s cocktail scene.

On the secret behind the bar’s success, Antinori credited the team’s dedication: “It's about, every day, working hard, working on quality, and trying to improve. On a daily basis, the secret, I would say, is that we have some amazing people working with us and as a team.”

“I think we are living in times where consumers are seeking comfort. And we happened to open a bar that is very simple. But I believe that what truly made us stand out is this idea of being very approachable. We are a part of where you can come multiple times through the rest of the week,” added Antinori.

Hong Kong, the host city for this year’s awards, leads the region with three entries: Argo (#56), Gokan (#70), and The Savory Project (#86). From luxury hotel lounges to inventive newcomers, these bars reflect the city’s dynamic cocktail identity and set the stage for the upcoming ceremony.

Asia boasts a number of delicacies and savory delights. But this region is not one to back down from its dessert game. A beloved treat across Asia, shaved ice desserts have long been a crowd favorite, whether a treat during the summer or just a special, refreshing indulgence.

In this article, we explore some of the most popular frozen treats in Asia, from South Korea’s ever-popular Bingsu and the Philippines’ iconic Halo-Halo to Taiwan’s creamy Bao Bing and beyond. Get ready to dig in with these mouth-watering desserts, all rich in flavor and culture — packed with flavorful toppings, refreshing textures, and everything in between.

Bingsu (South Korea)

Bingsu is a milk-based Korean dessert made from ultra-fine shaved ice, with every spoonful offering a melt-in-your-mouth sensation. And it just so happens that each serving is an Instagram-worthy confection, topped with a satisfying sweet delight.

Toppings may vary (from fruits, tea powders, cheesecakes, fresh mango, and often a layer of sweetened condensed milk), though the most popular variety of Bingsu is Patbingsu, a version topped with red bean paste. Of course, it all depends on one’s personal taste. Luckily, Bingsu offers just enough variety to please every palate. Over the years, the South Korean dessert has spawned several new flavors, including yogurt Bingsu, milk tea Bingsu, and even Bingsu topped with ice cream.

Kakigōri (Japan)

Japan's Kakigori

Japan is home to various sweet treats, including the likes of Taiyaki, Manju, and Dorayaki. This also includes Kakigōri, a traditional Japanese dessert that features finely shaved ice topped with sweet syrups and seasonal ingredients. Much like Bingsu, Kakigōri is also often flavored with condensed milk.

The ice is intended to be finely shaved to give it a snow-like consistency, complete with a variety of flavored syrups, depending on your liking. What sets it apart is its smooth, almost velvety texture.

Bao Bing (Taiwan)

Bao Bing is a popular summer dessert in Taiwan that you can customize with toppings of your choice. Similar to Kakigōri and Bingsu, this frosty treat features finely shaved ice and is topped with a variety of ingredients, from sweet to savory.

The most popular version of Bao Bing is the mango Bao Bing, drizzled with condensed milk. Common ingredients include taro balls, watermelon, strawberries, sweetened red beans, tapioca pearls, grass jelly, and other sweet treats. Some also serve Bao Bing with an added scoop of ice cream for an extra touch of sweetness.

Halo-Halo (Philippines)

The Philippines also offers some of the most beloved shaved ice desserts like Mais Con Yelo, Saba Con Yelo, and Ice Scramble. But the most famous of them all is Halo-Halo. While the others may include ingredients like banana, sweetened red beans, and jelly, Halo-Halo said, “yes.” And it combined them all.

Halo-Halo is a mishmash of ingredients, which perfectly explains its name; halo-halo means “mix-mix” in Tagalog. It’s a vibrant blend of various ingredients, often including jackfruit, banana, leche flan, red beans, ube (purple yam), coconut strips, pinipig, sago, taro, and more. Some versions also include a scoop of ice cream on top. A sweet mess, if you will.

Nam Kaeng Sai (Thailand)

Thailand’s very own shaved ice dessert is called Nam Kaeng Sai, a refreshing treat consisting of a combination of ingredients like tropical fruits, sweet syrup, condensed milk, and various jellies. While it’s considered simpler than its counterparts, this dessert offers a satisfying coolness during the summer.

Some toppings include crushed peanuts, sweet corn, tapioca pearls, jackfruit, and mung beans. Over the years, this famous Thai dessert has also inspired different versions. It’s often served with a drizzle of coconut milk to give it a more refreshing flavor.

Es Campur (Indonesia)

Indonesia's Es Campur

A beloved shaved ice dessert in Indonesia, Es Campur (which means “mixed ice”) is a cooling treat for the country’s tropical weather. It features shaved ice combined with sweet syrups, condensed milk, tropical fruits, avocado, grass jellies, sweet corn, melon, tapioca pearls, coconut, and more.

Its splash of coconut milk and/or condensed milk gives it a creamy finish, making every bite delightful. A perfect way to cool down on a hot day, Es Campur offers a refreshing burst of flavors.

Chè Ba Màu (Vietnam)

A traditional shaved ice dessert in Vietnam, Chè Ba Màu — meaning “three-colored dessert” — consists of three distinct layers, typically featuring pandan jelly, mung beans, and red beans. These colorful layers are then generously topped with creamy coconut milk.

The layers add a balanced harmony that manages to be both refreshing and comforting. It’s often served in a tall glass, allowing consumers to admire the vibrant colors and savor the flavors one by one.

Cendol (Malaysia)

Malaysia's Cendol

A refreshing escape from the tropical heat, Cendol is a traditional dessert in Malaysia, served with shaved ice and green, worm-like pandan jelly noodles. It is topped with pandan leaf extract, giving it that satisfying fragrance. But make no mistake, this one is also known for its vibrant flavor.

It is generously drizzled with coconut milk and gula melaka (palm sugar), balancing both sweet and earthy flavors. A staple in Malaysian street food culture, Cendol embodies the perfect harmony of tradition and refreshment.

Countdown Begins: S. Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Grand Finale in October

S Pellegrino Young Chef AcademyPhoto by Companion Communications

Who will be the world’s best young chef? The S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Grand Finale is happening this October!

Launched in 2015, the global competition celebrates the extraordinary creativity, vision, and skill of young chefs, underscoring their potential to drive positive change and create a better world through food. The 2024-25 edition’s grand finals will be held in Milan on Oct. 28 and 29, with 15 finalists vying for the prestigious title. These promising chefs under 30 came from all over the world, with over 165 chefs having competed in the Regional Finals.

The regional champions will be presenting their signature dishes at the finals to an international jury of acclaimed culinary masters, which includes Christophe Bacquié, Jeremy Chan, Antonia Klugmann, Mitsuharu "Micha" Tsumura, Niki Nakayama, Elena Reygadas, and Julien Royer. Dishes will be evaluated based on technical expertise, creative flair, and the potential to drive positive change through gastronomy.

Apart from the coveted main title of S. Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Award, this competition will also be presenting additional recognitions such as the S.Pellegrino Social Responsibility Award, the Acqua Panna Connection in Gastronomy Award, and the Fine Dining Lovers Food for Thought Award.

Among this year’s 15 regional finalists is Young Chef Ardy Ferguson of BELON restaurant in Hong Kong, who will be representing the Asia region. Mentored by Chef Vicky Lau, of TATE Dining Room, Ardy won the Regional Finals last year with his dish “Archipelago Celebration,” which pays homage to Indonesian and Hong Kong cuisines. This impressive dish was inspired by the young chef’s multicultural upbringing and featured a base of nasi tumpeng, a ceremonial Javanese rice dish, paired with Cantonese-inspired duck lacquered in red wine vinegar and smoked with sugar cane.

“As the Grand Finale approaches, I’ve been busy preparing with plenty of practice runs. Getting up at 6 AM, doing the full 5-hour competition, and then breaking it down with my mentor, Chef Vicky Lau, to see where we can improve and streamline ourselves for Milan,” shared Asia Grand Finalist Chef Ardy Ferguson. “It's been an amazing experience so far, and I’m very grateful to S.Pellegrino for the opportunities the Young Chef competition has afforded me. I’m looking forward to meeting the other young, talented chefs from around the world and learning a thing or two from them.”

“The S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy is an incredible platform for young chefs like Ardy, offering invaluable learning and global exposure,” added Chef Vicky Lau of TATE Dining Room Hong Kong. “Mentoring him has been a fantastic experience. Ardy’s dedication is inspiring, and I have every confidence he will make us proud as the Asia Grand Finalist in Milan.”

Last year, Chef Nelson Freitas emerged as the competition’s winner under the guidance of Virgilio Martínez of Central, which was named the World’s Best Restaurant in 2023. Following his victory, he joined the Central team, with his journey captured in “Afuera Hay Más – A Young Chef’s Journey.” This documentary highlighted how the Academy not only nurtures rising talent but also helps shape the future of gastronomy.

Coffee and Clubbing Collide in These Coffee Raves Across Asia

Coffee RavePhoto by Beans and Beats/Instagram

Step aside, late-night clubbing, Asia’s new social trend is now all about swapping shots of tequila for espresso.

Coffee raves are a growing culture across cities in Asia, offering the same thumping DJ sets and dance floor energy but in broad daylight and fueled by specialty brews instead of booze.

A nod to the global sober-curious and wellness movement, Coffee raves are redefining the youth’s social scene, proving that you don’t need to stay out too late or drink alcohol to have a good time. Also known as “soft clubbing” or “café clubbing,” these caffeine-charged gatherings have been turning cafes, hotel lounges, and even public parks into vibrant hubs where music lovers, creatives, and coffee lovers collide. They are fun and sober alternative events that bring back the focus to making connections within a community — something that proves to be a challenge in traditional nightlife.

With more of these events popping up in cities across the region, we’ve curated some of the popular organizers that are actively hosting these daytime events. Whether it’s Beans & Beats in Singapore, coffee-party mornings in Bangkok, or community-led raves in Manila, there are several spots in the region where you can go coffee clubbing and get your groove on without getting tipsy.

Social Club Series (Hong Kong)

Organizers Sandy Lam Sin-yi and Isaac Woo Siu-hin launched the Social Club Series last March, which gave partying a daytime twist. This series of events offers themed and genre-driven pop-up parties in unexpected locations (revealed only after ticket purchase), ranging from cafes, pizza joints, and even rooftop spaces.

The series instantly blew up in Hong Kong, having catered to the growing desire for creative and sober-friendly socializing and experiences that won’t give you a massive hangover the next day.

Some of the notable editions in the series include “Coffee & Beats,” which is the first Social Cub Series, the “Crave & Rave,” which combines clubbing with pizza and gelato, and their “Paradise Pool Party.”

If you’re up for some daytime clubbing with espresso shots, their next Coffee & Beats series will include waffles and will take place on Oct. 5, 2025. For updates on the secret locations and ticket sales, follow them on Instagram.

This local wellness brand just hosted its first-ever daytime rave last August, coinciding with the launch of their instant coffee and drip coffee products infused with medicinal mushrooms. Some of the product benefits include boosting stamina, enhancing cognitive clarity, and reducing stress, so it’s fitting that the brand ventured into hosting sober events.

No upcoming events have been announced, but with this new staple product, we’re sure there’s more daytime raves to come. Stay tuned on their Instagram page for updates.

Filipino-owned Mano Bakery made the announcement last June about a new monthly daytime event series, creating a community-centered event that marries coffee, music, and socializing.

With its owners having a background in the arts, marketing, and creative industries, Mano creates a space that allows emerging artists to showcase their talent and for locals to connect without disrupting their normal schedules.

This coffee culture community, founded by Jenil Aspiras, creates spaces where people can connect and dance while supporting local cafes. With over 40 partner venues, they provide brands with direct access to the coffee rave culture and offer coffee and music enthusiasts a new way to experience music.

They have already held several caffeine-charged raves in and out of the metro, from Quezon City to Markina and Alabang to Batangas City. Their most recent events were in Cavite on Sept. 6 at Crossing Café and in Shangri-la Plaza on Sept. 7.

For updates on coffee rave schedules, follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok or join their official Facebook community page.

Sawasdee Cup Coffee Party (Bangkok)

Deemed as Bangkok’s signature daytime coffee and music event, Swasdee Cup Coffee is a community-led organizer where coffee culture meets coffee energy. They had their premiere rave last March at Rolling Roasters in Ekkamai-one, one of Bangkok’s specialty coffee shops, which was a massive success that led to several other parties, including their upcoming Coffee Festival in Song Wat this September. The fifth edition is reported to be the world’s first 3-Day Coffee Party Festival from Sept. 26 to 28, 2025.

You can buy your tickets here. General admission is priced at THB450. For updates on upcoming parties, follow them on Instagram.

Beans and Beats (Singapore)

DJ raves

Singapore’s pioneering alcohol-free events concept puts together specialty coffee and underground music to form a one-of-a-kind experience.

According to the Beans and Beats website, the community was born from “a mission to prove that underground music can be not just enjoyed, but better appreciated in a sober environment.” It has since evolved from apartment gatherings to a full-blown movement that’s redefining social spaces in the city-state by promoting local roasteries, cafes, and DJs.

Stay tuned on their Instagram and TikTok pages for announcements on upcoming events. You can also watch full DJ sets during one of their coffee raves on their YouTube channel.

U.S. Burrito Brand Heads East: K-Pop Endorsed Chipotle to Launch in Asia

11Photo by Chipotle/Instagram

Asia’s fast-casual dining scene is about to get extra spicy, in the Californian way. After years of global buzz and countless social media shoutouts, Chipotle Mexican Grill is finally making its debut in Asia. Teaming up with South Korea’s SPC Group, the legendary burrito bowls and guac-loaded creations are coming to South Korea and Singapore in 2026.

Chipotle is known for its build-your-own format

The move marks a major milestone for the California-based brand, which has built a global following thanks to its fresh ingredients, customizable bowls, and authentic approach to real food. With over 3,800 restaurants across the U.S., Canada, and Europe, with another 300 to open this year, Chipotle is now setting its sights on Asia’s dynamic dining scene, where demand for fast, flavorful, and responsibly sourced meals is ever-growing.

Known for its bold flavors and build-your-own format, Chipotle’s menu is popular among those who are after something fast, easy, and simply good. Their Chicken Burrito Bowl, for example, reigns supreme, packed with grilled chicken, rice, beans, salsa, and a generous scoop of guacamole. Other fan favorites include the Steak Burrito Bowl and Barbacoa Burrito, while their plant-based choices offer a hearty, spicy alternative.

“Real food prepared fast is in high demand in these markets,” said Chipotle CEO Scott Boatwright, citing strong brand awareness among Asian consumers. SPC Group, known for bringing Shake Shack and Paris Baguette to the region, will lead the charge locally. Executive VP Heesoo Hur added that they “see an opportunity to introduce Chipotle’s delicious, responsibly sourced food to guests across the continent who aren’t yet familiar with the concept.”

While the brand has not yet arrived in Asia, Chipotle has already gained their Asian fanbase, thanks in part to viral K-Pop shoutouts from BTS to Le Sserafim, and social media buzz due to their meme-style posts. The brand’s cultural influence and Californian taste have long been anticipated for lift-off.

Prepare for Chipotle’s openings in South Korea and Singapore next year. Until then, check out their website and follow them on Instagram and Facebook for a sneak peek at their menu.
