Wok Hei and Tatler Takeovers: July dining in Hong Kong
Hello, It's July, and things are heating up. We begin with a deep dive into wok hei , that elusive, searing kiss of the wok that defines Cantonese cooking at its best. We speak to three Hong Kong chefs who share how they're keeping the flames alive. Then, from July 10 to 13, the Tatler Best Takeover Series lands in Hong Kong with a line-up that's anything but ordinary. Johnson Wong of Gēn brings refined Malaysian-Chinese fare to Ming Pavilion; Uwe Opocensky hosts a sky-high six-hands with Jimmy Lim of Taichung's JL Studio and Singapore's Revolver at Petrus; and Brasserie Astoria, the Singapore outpost of Björn Frantzén's empire, revives the brasserie spirit at Lobster Bar and Grill. Meanwhile, Asia's top bars descend on the city. Jigger & Pony and Atlas from Singapore join forces with The Macallan House and Lobster Bar for two nights of world-class cocktails. It's four days, countless flavours, and a rare chance to see Asia's culinary stars shine side by side. See you there, Fontaine Cheng Regional Dining Editor, Tatler Asia
