As we roll into the second quarter of the year, we renew our efforts and go on the hunt for the latest and greatest food offerings. Dining out is discouraged, so we’re staying in and browsing through new food delivery menus launched in Hong Kong this April to go through social distancing with a full and sated belly. After all, one can only bear so much instant ramen.
If you’re missing the sights, sounds, and alluring smells of the Grand Hyatt, you’ll be delighted to know that the revered hotel is launching its first-ever delivery service to bring the Grand Café’s comfort foods to your doorstep. Whether you’re in the market for their top-notch Bread Basket ($50), Grilled Norwegian Salmon Fillet ($210), Hainanese Chicken Rice ($260), and delectable Singaporean Curry Laksa ($180), a curated selection of the popular dishes from Grand Café are offered on the current menu, with signature choices from other Grand Hyatt restaurants soon to follow.
Seasonal specials are on the menu as well, with the option of set family meals that can feed four to eight people (starting from $1,600 per set). Advance notice is required for the seasonal sets, so be sure to put your orders down at least 12 hours ahead. Place your orders through their form here. Patrons who opt for pick-up and takeaway services can enjoy a 15 percent discount on their bill, while deliveries are free for delivery destinations within 15 minutes’ walking distance from the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. Delivery charges for locations in other parts of Hong Kong range from $80 to $300.

While you’re spending altogether too much time contemplating whether you feel like Indian or Japanese for your next takeaway meal, why not consider old faithful pizza instead? DiVino Group is hand-tossing pies for a noble cause, with its three restaurants across Tsim Sha Tsui, Central, and Wan Chai participating in a self-initiated campaign to help raise funds for those in need. 10 percent of all proceeds from DiVino Group’s pizza sales will go towards supporting the Crema Hospital in Italy, one of many at the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak. After all, you can never go wrong with a classic Parma ($178)—or if you’re feeling adventurous, the Storione ($178), a pie of lemon-scented Mascarpone cheese, smoked sturgeon, and field sprouts.
In keeping with extensive safety measures across the city, Pirata Group is putting more emphasis on their delivery and takeaway options, available at the following restaurants across the city: Pici (on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and New Territories), Chaiwala, MEATS, The Loft, and The Pizza Project.
Covering set lunches, boozy lunches, dinners, brunches, and even kids’ meals, choose from a diverse range of cuisines to suit whatever you’re in the mood for. Highlights include Chaiwala’s Signature Tandoor Wraps (starting from $65), Truffle Mac & Cheese ($90) with cheddar béchamel and Lamb Milanese ($170) from MEATS, The Pizza Project’s highly Instagrammable Carbonara ($120) pizza with quail eggs and pancetta, and Pici’s homely pastas.
While not currently available for takeaway or delivery, Honjo has additionally launched a new three-course lunch menu ($298) that showcases the best of its classic signatures, such as the Wagyu in chorizo oil, Salmon Puffs with purple shiso, Baby Chicken with honey miso and sautéed shiitake, and also Chef’s Sushi Selection, a deluxe offering of eight maki and nigiri.
Acclaimed Tokyo-based izakaya Uoharu has announced the addition of meat alternatives to their spring menu! As the first izakaya in Hong Kong to include Impossible meat dishes in its culinary offerings, the move to incorporate more sustainable and environmentally-friendly ingredients into late-night Japanese cuisine is no doubt a daunting one, but Uoharu shines in their Curry Impossible Meatball Lunch Set ($138), a hearty combination of rustic vegan ’meatballs’ covered in a rich Japanese curry sauce, coated in a layer of melted cheddar cheese, and grilled with caramelised onions and tomatoes. Starting from 14 April, Uoharu will offer their Impossible Burger Steak with Sukiyaki Sauce Lunch Set ($138) delivery and takeaway!

Social distancing doesn’t have to equal bland food. Put your most flavourful foot forward this April with Lee Lo Mei’s new takeaway menu, which features a curated selection of the quirky eatery’s best-selling staples. Fragrant Black Truffle and Egg Tofu Fried Rice ($118) and hearty Red Curry with Chicken and Crunchy Rice ($98) are among our favourites from the pick, delivering a comforting dining experience of modern Chinese home-cooking.
Additionally, Lee Lo Mei is offering takeaway sets (starting from $238) suitable for up to two to four diners so you can tuck into dishes like Sautéed Local Free-range Chicken and Sautéed Salted Egg Yolk, Egg Tofu and Black Fungus on a bed of pumpkin and shiitake mushroom rice with the rest of the family. For an added immunity booster—especially during this precarious time—take a peek at their optional Homemade Chicken Soup, a traditional recipe that creates an all-round elixir highlighting nutritious ingredients like free-range chicken, cordyceps flower, Chinese yam, and wolfberries.
