Wakaran and Poppy Return for Chapter II of Collab Dinner
Wakaran and Poppy are back at the same table!
The two contemporary Hong Kong restaurants will reunite for "The Next Course — Chapter II," a two-part dining collaboration priced at HK$888 per person.
Two exclusive evenings are scheduled: July 14 at Poppy in Wan Chai, and July 28 at Wakaran. Each night brings its own specially curated, six-plate tasting menu paired with three bartender beverages — meaning two distinct experiences.
Seats are limited at both sittings.
The evening is designed as a full progression, beginning with a sparkling Korean makgeolli before pivoting to what organizers describe as a playful centerpiece: a cocktail called "Sangria for Him & For Her." Rather than sharing one drink, each guest at the table receives a different interpretation, both built on premium sake, vermouth, fresh fruit, and house-made ingredients. Designed to be sipped, compared, and swapped across the table.
The six-plate menu that follows highlights the strengths of each restaurant. Early courses include rich Mushroom or Curry Crab Croquettes alongside the signature D.P.D. "Stir Fried King" Squid, and Italian Beef Tenderloin Tartare with foie gras and Ibérico. Larger plates lean into premium ingredients: Abalone Paella and Dry-Aged Ma Yau Paella sit alongside dry-aged pigeon. Bold flavors, carefully and expertly handled from the culinary lens of each kitchen.
The finale arrives in two parts: a Pandan Tiramisu infused with Green Tea Rum, followed by an Old Fashioned Affogato built on Japanese MARS Whisky, hazelnut and peanut butter gelato. An unexpected and indulgent capper to an already extraordinary menu.
In 2025, the two restaurants partnered for a debut collaboration. It was a two-night event led by three chefs: Chef Tommy Tsui of Wakaran, Chef Ronald Nelson of Poppy, and Pastry Specialist Chef Pathon Ngai. Following an overwhelmingly positive response, Chapter II was born.
