Jay Khan and Ajit Gurung, founders of award-winning Hong Kong bar, COA, have recently announced the launch of a new concept called The Savory Project, located in Soho.
In 2020, Jay Khan was honoured as Asia's Best Bartender at the Asia's 50 Best Bars Awards, while in 2022, he and the COA team won The Best Bar in Asia for two consecutive years in a row.
The Savory Project aims to create cocktails that highlight earthy and umami notes, while minimizing the presence of sweet or fruity flavours. Unique cocktail ingredients include meat, fungi, brine, and more.
Speaking about the concept behind The Savory Project, Jay Khan said, "Savory flavours are gaining in popularity as people crave drinks that are less sweet and more intricate.”
In addition to a focus on savoury drinks, The Savory Project’s menu will also offer a wide selection of non-alcoholic drinks.
The bar’s design utilises elements such as wood, stone, and metal. The bar also boasts a unique hexagonal shape to eliminate the barrier between the bartender and guests.
"A bar is supposed to be a place where you engage, have fun, and get close to people and we wanted to create that same dynamic between guest and staff, so they feel part of the fabric of the place," said Jay.
The Savory Project will be open from 6PM to 12 midnight on Tuesdays through Thursdays and Sundays, and will stay open until 1AM on Fridays and Saturdays.

Sometimes, a home-cooked meals is all you need to slow things down, a gentle and comforting hug from the everyday rush.
Amid Hong Kong’s dynamic and ever-evolving dining scene, Korchina F&B's newest venueThe Porch is a breath of fresh air. No flashy concepts or over-curated theatrics—just authentic Korean food, rooted in warmth and memory.
Tucked in a corner of Kerry Hotel overlooking Victoria Harbor, The Porch is a comfort kitchen offering more than just stunning views: a sense of home.
Drawing inspiration from South Korea’s Madang culture, where life unravels away from the hustle and bustle, The Porch offers the simplicity of shared meals and slow-fermented flavors, making every moment feel more meaningful.

“The vision was about wanting a true gathering space, not the empty kind, but a fertile space where conversations meander, silences settle like old friends, and food becomes a shared language in front of the beautiful Whampoa promenade – similar to relaxing near the Han River in Seoul,” shares Sun Mi Park, CEO of Korchina F&B.
The Porch redefines Korean food as a shared language, emphasizing on the simplicity and warmth of backyard family meals that are effortless and abundant.
Their menu introduces house special: the National OG Chicken (HKD$128) hand torn tableside by The Porch's culinary team, a classic 1960s street icon where vendors fried hens into crispy gold for laborers, holding a special place in Korean food culture that represent the simpler times of sharing and gathering.

Another 1950s to 60s staple is soulful Korean BBQ. The Porch introduces a delectable twist on Seoul’s classic backyard food culture with the K-BBQ Kochi Skewers (HKD$18 -HKD$68), which were born in port cities like Busan, where dockworkers first threaded scraps of meat and seafood onto bamboo sticks. This tradition has now evolved into an irresistible culinary experience.
The Porch presents premium-quality options like beef, pork, lamb, and chicken that are perfect for mixing and matching, all at attractive affordable prices.
Other stellar menu items include the Korean Marinated Galbi Ribs (HKD$32), Chuck Flap Tail (HKD$68), Pork Skin (HKD$22), Pork Belly Samgyupsal (HKD$22), and Black Pork Ribs (HKD$32), among many others that deliver a truly succulent and smoky grilled experience.

The Porch goes beyond its signature BBQ to offer a selection of hearty, rustic Korean dishes that evoke the comforting flavours of home. From rice to soups and noodles, these dishes bring authentic Korean culinary traditions to life.
Highlights include the Perilla Oil Makguksu Noodles (HKD$88), a nutty and refreshing noodle dish tossed in aromatic perilla oil, and the Soy Bean Cold Noodles (HKD$88), featuring chewy noodles in a creamy, savory soy milk broth – an ultimate summer cooler. Both dishes are must-tries, delivering a taste of Korea’s rich culinary heritage at The Porch.

The Porch’s menu culminates in the perfect sweet finale with its authentic Korean Patbingsu.
The Injeolmi Bingsu(HKD$68) is made with sweet and fresh succulent red beans sourced directly from South Korea, paired with fluffy shaved milk ice and a sprinkle of nuts. This traditional dessert offers a refreshing and indulgent end to the dining experience.
Courtesy of The Porch
Born from Korea’s fading front porch culture, where neighbours come together to share food, stories and laughter until late at night, The Porch reimagines this with a harmonious blend of Korean comfort food, slow-cooked BBQ, and a nostalgia-filled atmosphere. It offers a space for meaningful conversation and shared experiences, bringing the warmth of Korea’s past to life in every bite.
