What if some of Hong Kong’s trendiest, most influential restaurants reinvented their signature flavors in an exclusive grab-and-go format? That’s exactly the delicious concept behind LMO Freshly Baked’s exciting new Tastemaker Series, launching now at their LANDMARK Atrium branch.

This monthly series runs from May through September, curated by Chef Richard Ekkebus, Director of Culinary Operations & Food & Beverage at Mandarin Oriental, The Landmark Hong Kong.

Each month, one of Hong Kong’s most influential dining spots takes over the grab-and-go menu, crafting exclusive sandwiches, salads, soups, and pies that bring their unique flavors into a convenient and affordable format, perfect for the city’s fast-paced lifestyle.

The lineup reads like a who’s who of Hong Kong’s dining scene; the full schedule includes Yardbird in May, Bar Leone in June, The Chairman in July, TATE Dining Room in August, and Little Bao in September.

After a hugely successful collaboration with Yardbird in May, the series continues to impress with Bar Leone. Bringing Roman flair and flavor to Hong Kong, Bar Leone, named Asia’s Best Bar 2024 and founded by renowned bartender Lorenzo Antinori, will feature three signature dishes until June 28, 2025.

On offer is a light and creamy vegetarian option, Spinach Ricotta Pie (HK$78), a fresh Italian Chicken Salad bursting with cherry tomatoes, basil, and Bar Leone’s smoked olives (HK$98), and a Tramezzini Tonno e Pomodoro sandwich featuring Japanese milk bread, white tuna salad, and vine-ripened tomatoes (HK$88).

"The Tastemaker Series celebrates the extraordinary talent that defines Hong Kong as one of the world’s most exciting culinary capitals," Chef Richard Ekkebus shared. “All five collaborators are homegrown brands, each one shaped by Hong Kong’s distinctive culture, energy, and evolution as a global dining destination.”

But this initiative goes beyond offering delicious treats; it also champions a meaningful cause. For every Tastemaker Series item sold, HK$10 will be donated to MINDSET, the registered charity of the Jardine Matheson Group, to raise mental health awareness and support across the community.
