Hong Kong’s favorite dim sum staples are getting the Disney treatment as Hong Kong Disneyland unveils an exclusive collection that turns siu mai, har gow, and egg tarts into irresistibly collectible keepsakes. Designed with local food culture in mind, the range pairs Cantonese comfort classics with playful character details, making it a must-have for foodies and Disney fans alike.

Leading the collection is the Chip ’n’ Dale Hong Kong Cuisine Plush Mystery Box (HK$169). Featuring five designs in total, with one plush per box at random, it sees Chip and Dale peeking out of a stacked bamboo steamer. One is styled as a fluffy siu mai with pleated edges, while the other as a golden har gow.

Egg tart lovers will want the Chip Bitten Egg Tart Crossbody Bag (HK$199), which is shaped like a freshly baked tart with a crinkled crust and custard-yellow center. Chip’s face emerges from the middle, as if taking a cheeky bite, while the detachable brown strap makes it a playful yet practical accessory for park days. The bakery theme continues with the Chip ’n’ Dale Hong Kong Cuisine Headband (HK$219), featuring two plush character heads dressed as a custard tart and siu mai.

Singapore’s acclaimed wood-fire grill restaurant Burnt Ends is set to return to Macau for a limited three-day pop-up at Grill 58, MGM Cotai, running from April 23 to 25, 2026.

Founded in 2013, Burnt Ends is known for its live-fire kitchen, operating without gas or electric cooking and fueled primarily by apple or almond wood. Burnt Ends has earned international acclaim for its contemporary wood-fire cuisine, holding a Michelin star for eight consecutive years since 2018 and securing positions on both The World’s 50 Best Restaurants and Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants lists. Its return to MGM Cotai continues a collaboration rooted in shared values of craftsmanship, fire-driven cooking, and technical precision.

Led by chef-owner Dave Pynt, the Macau pop-up marks his second guest-chef takeover at MGM, presented as part of the resort’s “Gastronomic Journey with Star Chefs” series. The experience will spotlight Burnt Ends’ signature modern Australian barbecue, built around open-fire cooking and wood-smoking techniques.

For the Macau collaboration, Grill 58 has prepared more than 800 kilograms of apple wood to reproduce the restaurant’s distinctive wood-fired flavors using its enclosed charcoal ovens and open-fire grill system.

The pop-up will offer an eight-course lunch menu priced at MOP888 per person and an 11-course dinner menu priced at MOP1,688 per person, with optional wine pairings available at MOP850. All prices are subject to a 10% service charge.

7-Eleven is pushing far beyond its store aisle with a bold new creative collaboration that fuses streetwear, scent, and Hong Kong nostalgia into one highly collectible drop. Teaming up with local fashion label GrowthRing & Supply (GRS) and fragrance brand BeCandle, the 7-Eleven x GRS x BeCandle collection reimagines everyday convenience into a distinctly local culture statement.

Drawing from iconic 7-Eleven Hong Kong store details and GRS creative director Kenji Wong’s "Kowloon" motif, the collection leans heavily into 1980s workwear culture. The lineup spans apparel, caps, and accessories with a lived-in, vintage feel, alongside wearable and home fragrance pieces blended locally by BeCandle.

Anchoring the drop is the Patched Work Jacket (HK$1,980), inspired by the third-generation 7-Eleven staff uniform and finished in deep red with a washed texture, exclusive commemorative embroidery, and a back print referencing a promotional slogan from 7-Eleven Hong Kong’s first store opening in 1981.

The Patched Work Shirt (HK$1,780) follows in classic green, embroidered with milestone patches celebrating 45 years of local presence, balancing heritage and wearability.

As for the accessories, the Kowloon Mini Cap Pouch (HK$380) updates GRS’s cult-favorite design with 7-Eleven’s signature orange, green, and red, while the Kowloon Cap (HK$680) comes in Vintage White and Vintage Red, finished with deliberate distressing for a true retro look.

The apparel lineup is rounded out by the Washed Tee (HK$780), which channels the spirit of 1980s advertising tees through anniversary graphics and a clean, unfussy silhouette.

The fragrance side adds another layer, as BeCandle introduces the Good Mint Farm Fragrance Necklace Set (HK$488) in HAKU and GEN variations for day and night wear, alongside the Moon Laboratory Diffuser Set (HK$488), pairing essential oils with a stone diffuser engraved with “Always Here, Made for More!”

The 7-Eleven x GRS x BeCandle collection debuted at ComplexCon Hong Kong 2026 last month. Following its first reveal, the full lineup is exclusively showcased at the 7-Eleven Kai Tak concept store to give the public a closer look at the collection.

The event marks the second consecutive year the awards will be staged in Macau, continuing the city’s growing presence as a regional hub for major food-and-beverage celebrations under the 50 Best banner.

The 2026 program will feature a lineup of curated industry events designed to encourage collaboration and exchange within the drinks community. These include the Bartenders’ Feast, showcasing Macau’s culinary and beverage offerings, and Meet the Bartenders, an exclusive media roundtable session. The celebrations will culminate in a red-carpet reception followed by the live countdown reveal of The Best Bar in Asia 2026.

In the lead-up to the ceremony, several Special Awards will also be announced, including the Michter’s Art of Hospitality Award, recognizing excellence in service and guest experience, and the Altos Bartenders’ Bartender Award, honoring an influential peer selected by bartenders from the 2026 list. The extended 51–100 list will be released ahead of the main event, highlighting additional venues that reflect the depth and diversity of Asia’s bar scene.

Hong Kong’s iconic Lin Heung Lau is marking the end of an era with an unexpected late-night transformation—turning its century-old Central tea house into a rave for one night only.

Before the nearly 100-year-old institution relocates from its historic Wellington Street address, Lin Heung Lau has partnered with global music collective RaveDAO to stage “Dim Sum Rave” on April 18, blending traditional yum cha culture with electronic music in a rare, one-off event.

Founded in the 1920s, Lin Heung Lau has long been a fixture of Central, known for its communal tables, rolling carts stacked with bamboo steamers, and classic Cantonese tea house vibes.

While the restaurant announced earlier this year that its Central branch will move to Tung Ning Building on Des Voeux Road Central due to redevelopment, the upcoming event offers a final farewell to the original space- reimagined after dark.

Once the lights dim at 10 PM, the tea house will be transformed into a late-night dance floor, with their beloved dim sum fare stacked alongside pulsing beats. While the full DJ lineup has yet to be announced, the night is set to feature a mix of international and local artists, bringing electronic music into one of Central’s most storied dining rooms.

The event coincides with Hong Kong Sevens weekend and Web3 Festival week, drawing both local and international crowds into the city. Organizers describe the night as a collision of old and new—where dim sum, music, and Hong Kong’s cultural legacy meet inside a space that has witnessed generations of city life.

Tickets for the 18+ event are available via PLVR, with prices starting from HK$588. The dim sum rave runs from 10 PM to 2 AM, marking Lin Heung Lau’s final late-night moment at its Central location before the move. All attendees are required to present a valid photo ID for entry.
