HK Michelin Starred Restaurants

Food is always best enjoyed with good company, shared plates passed around the table, stories traded between bites, and moments that linger long after the last course.

Whether it’s menus designed for sharing, elegant private rooms for special occasions, or spacious layouts that comfortably welcome larger parties, these dining spots prove that world-class dining doesn’t have to be a solo affair.

Wakaran and Poppy Return for Chapter II of Collab Dinner

Wakaran mainPhoto by Courtesy of Epicurean Group

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.

Reservations are open now through this link.

For more information and updates, follow Wakaran and Poppy on Instagram.

Hong Kong Food Waste Recycling Reaches New Milestone as Participation Grows

Hong Kong Food Waste Recycling Reaches New Milestone as Participation Grows 1Photo by Website/ Environmental Campaign Committee (ECC)

Turns out food waste isn't just headed for the landfill anymore as Hong Kong's food waste recycling efforts are showing significant progress, with the city recycling an average of 350 tons of food waste daily in 2025. Domestic food waste recycling has seen especially strong growth, rising from about two tons per day in 2022 to over 120 tons daily in 2025.

A key driver behind the increase is the Pilot Scheme on Food Waste Smart Recycling Bins in Private Housing Estates, launched in 2023 by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) and the Environmental Campaign Committee (ECC). As of February, 453 smart recycling bins have already been installed across 115 private housing estates, serving more than 270,000 households. With this, participating estates have collectively recycled over 7,300 tons of food waste.

The smart recycling bins accept various types of food waste, including hard food waste, and feature odor control, pest prevention, and overflow management systems. Residents can also earn GREEN$ points through the connected incentive program, which are redeemable for daily necessities and supermarket vouchers.

To expand participation, the Government lowered the scheme's eligibility requirement in 2025, allowing smaller housing estates to join. The EPD also introduced a Food Waste Recycling Truck trial at the end of 2025, visiting different locations nightly to further promote food waste recycling across the city.

Together, these initiatives show how Hong Kong is making food waste recycling more accessible and rewarding, encouraging more residents to turn everyday food scraps into a valuable environmental resource. For more details, visit the EPD and ECC's website.

The Doctor’s Residence by Dr. Fern Unveils Its First-Ever House Spirit

Patients, it's time for your dose of gin, as Hong Kong’s surrealist cocktail clinic The Doctor’s Residence by Dr. Fern has unveiled its first-ever signature house spirit. Named the DR. FERN GIN, this bespoke small-batch gin is crafted in collaboration with Denmark’s pioneering artisan producer, Copenhagen Distillery.

Produced in Copenhagen using the traditional London Dry method, the crystal-clear organic spirit is inspired by Nordic flavors and reflects the venue’s passion for innovative gin experiences. The earthy and herbaceous blend combines classic juniper with Scandinavian aquavit, alongside notes of fresh dill, caraway, angelica root, fiery turmeric, and pink peppercorn. Enjoyed neat, the gin delivers a crisp and clean profile, while drinking it mixed reveals a richer, more elegant flavor with a lingering peppery finish.

For those wanting to bring the experience home, DR. FERN GIN is available for retail at HK$520 per bottle. A HK$700 Gift Box edition includes a signature Dr. Fern’s G&T glass, a hand-selected premium earthy tonic, and recipe cards for recreating two of the bar’s signature serves at home.

Located within The Pottinger Hotel, The Doctor’s Residence by Dr. Fern is known for its immersive 1970s-inspired concept, where botanicals are treated as medicine and cocktails are crafted as personalized prescriptions for the chronically curious.

For more details and updates, follow the cocktail clinic on Facebook and Instagram.
