Your Hong Kong weekend food guide for July 18-20

As the city winds down from the buzz of Asia’s 50 Best Bars – while battling the summertime heat – this week’s food guide is all about cool indulgences and leisurely meals. From Italian fare by the waterfront to delicate seasonal desserts, these fresh offerings promise a flavourful, laid-back weekend to savour.

There’s no better time than summer to indulge in light, refreshing desserts. Coco at The Mira has just unveiled a limited edition collaboration between celebrated French pastry chef Grégory Doyen and the hotel’s executive pastry chef Smita Grosse. Ideal for sharing, their custom box of petit gâteaux includes four mini cakes – two of which are Doyen’s Sunny Side Up, a chocolate egg infused with banana coulis and marshmallow, and Grosse’s graceful Madame Butterfly, layered with raspberry-kaffir lime confit and lychee jelly.
