In a city that thrives on culinary innovation, Hong Kong’s dining scene is no stranger to bold collaborations. This October, two of the city’s most beloved culinary heavyweights, New Punjab Club and Bakehouse, are joining forces to deliver a Diwali celebration that’s festively indulgent.

The result is a limited-edition mithai box alongside a one-night-only feast that reimagines tradition through the lens of high-end gastronomy.

Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is celebrated across South Asia and the diaspora as a time of renewal, joy, and togetherness. Homes are adorned with flickering diyas, families gather for prayers and fireworks, and tables overflow with sweets. It’s a holiday rooted in light triumphing over darkness, and in recent years, it’s also become a canvas for culinary creativity.

This year, New Punjab Club, a Michelin -starred Punjabi grillhouse known for its unapologetically bold flavors, is taking Diwali to new heights with a ten-dish feast curated by Chefs Palash Mitra and Sidhu.

The dinner, held on Oct. 20, 2025, promises a theatrical journey through Punjabi cuisine, served in a dining room that pulses with festive energy.

In the lead-up to the feast, New Punjab Club has partnered with Bakehouse, the artisanal bakery that’s become a staple for pastry lovers across the city, to create a Diwali Mithai Box that’s anything but ordinary.

Available for pre-order until Oct. 16, 2025, the box features four handcrafted sweets that blend Indian tradition with modern pastry techniques. There’s a rich besan barfi topped with almonds, a malai chum chum reimagined as a baked doughnut filled with buffalo milk and cheese, and a mango nankhatai layered with fig halwa. Each treat is nestled in a pastel pink and blue box that’s as giftable as it is Instagram-worthy.

Together, the feast and the mithai box offer a full-circle Diwali experience, one that honors heritage while embracing innovation. Whether you're craving a taste of home or looking to explore Indian flavors through a gourmet lens, this collaboration is a must.

The Diwali Mithai Box is available for pick-up from Oct. 18 to 20, 2025. The Michelin-Starred Diwali Feast takes place on Oct. 20, 2025.
