Bohemian Rosemary Jalan hong kong new drinks november 2019

Modern Malaysian cocktails at Jalan

Jalan is the newest venture from the team behind Uma Nota and BEDU, celebrating the diversity of Malaysian street food in a modernized setting. The menu bears similarities to the hawker-style menu you can find in Malaysian food markets and street stalls but with a modern twist. Their drinks are dedicated to the years of disco, with signatures like the Heart of Pisco ($95) made with a refreshing mix of Peruvian brandy, Melonade, kumquat and lime as well as the Masala Mule ($85) which takes you on a journey through different spices. There’s also a menu for those who are out “for a good time, not a long time”, with cocktails priced at $60–$75 for an early evening or for night owls! Jalan, 42 Peel Street, Central | (+852) 2386 2216

Feng, Lin, Huo, Shan Zeng hong kong new drinks november 2019

Drinks with a view at Zeng

The latest sky-high bar and eatery to land in Hong Kong, ZENG brings innovative international cocktails and cuisine to V Point in Causeway Bay this autumn. Located on the 30th floor, Zeng offers a stunning 270-degree view of Victoria Harbour and its surrounding cityscape. With a name that means “positivity” in Chinese, a carefully-curated drinks list is presented to guests to showcases the bar team’s creativity. The Feng, Lin, Huo, Shan, a series of four different shots inspired by Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, is one of their signatures. As delicious as it is entertaining, this creative libation is one of two interactive shooters devised by ZENG’s mixologists that double as drinking games to be enjoyed by all. Zeng, 30/F, V Point, 18 Tang Lung Street, Causeway Bay | (+852) 2353 0053

lee lo mei Cocktails hong kong new drinks november 2019

Hong Kong-inspired drinks at Lee Lo Mei

Lee Lo Mei, Central’s quirkiest restaurant and bar returns to the bustling corner of Lyndhurst Terrace, re-joining Lee Ho Sing in the Lee family of restaurants. With a new look and exciting new menus, Lee Lo Mei takes the retro dining trend to the next-level through vibrant old-school-style interiors and nostalgic foods that tell the stories of Hong Kong’s past by recreating the city’s favourite flavours. We absolutely adore the dish names as well as the drink names, often using Cantonese puns that also roughly translate into something funny in English as well. Our ultimate favourite is, of course, the Yakult Fizz ($128), whose Chinese name is a pun on Yakult’s famous commercial line. Have you had one today yet? Lee Lo Mei, 8 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central | (+852) 2896 7688

poem restaurant and bar new drinks november hong kong

 Sustainable Balinese at Poem

TRI s recently based at The Pulse, we were sad to see that instagrammable Balinese restaurant go. However, they promised us that they will be back and indeed they are! The successor to it is Poem Restaurant, conveniently located at LKF Tower, serving sustainable Balinese cuisine to the masses. Poem does not deviate far from TRI, having purposefully relocated all the previous bamboo they used in TRI's decor, they were then moulded again to fit Poem's image. From wall decor to chairs and table stands, the bamboo imported directly from Bali sure elevates the restaurant and bar. Be sure to fit up the tropical bar for their happy hour, with drinks starting from $40 and cocktails from $80! Poem, 5/F, LKF Tower, 33 Wyndham Street, Central | (+852) 2810 6166
