Lin Heung Tea House, known as Lin Heung Lau to Hongkongers, is one of the oldest traditional Cantonese restaurants in Hong Kong, serving only dim sum during the day and main courses at night. After two rounds of closures, Lin Heung has announced their official reopening. They’ll once again be serving dim sum from bamboo steamers piled onto old-school trolleys, though some effort has also been made to modernise their offerings – trendy hand-shaken drinks will also be sold from their ground floor space.

After a five-year hiatus, Sake Walk returns to provide Hongkongers with an exciting lineup of exclusive sake-focused festivities from April 6 to 27. The festival will invite eight renowned Japanese sake breweries to hold masterclasses and tasting sessions at venues like Ami, Somm, The Aubrey, and Kaen Teppanyaki within Landmark. Thoughout April and May, participating venues will also offer time-limited sake pairing menus for customers to enjoy. Click below for more information.

Following the positive responses of Shake Shack’s limited avocado bacon burgers in 2022, the American burger chain has announced that it’ll be returning as a permanent menu item! Customers can choose to enjoy thick slices of fresh avocado and applewood-smoked bacon with Angus beef patties in the Avocado Bacon burger ($74 for single patty, $99 for double patties), or with crispy chicken cutlets and pickles in the Avocado Bacon Chicken ($72). Additionally, customers will be able to add freshly sliced avocado to any Shake Shack burgers or sandwiches of their choice for an additional $12.

To celebrate the return of this widely popular menu item, Shake Shack has collaborated with local pin badge brand Perks to release three exclusive avocado and bacon-themed pins. From March 28 onwards, all customers who purchase any avocado burger along with a drink and snack on Shake Shack’s mobile platform will receive one random pin for free while stocks last.  

Glenfiddich has partnered with several bartenders across Hong Kong to launch a series of guest shift evenings themed after the astrological zodiac signs. Each bartender will use the brand’s 12 year old scotch whisky and 12 year old sherry to create cocktails inspired by the four elements – Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water – found in the zodiac signs. Following their first guest shift in April, Glenfiddich will launch the second guest shift on May 2 at Lemna of the Alchemist, where award-winning head mixologist Jeffery Liu from Club Manhattan will be joined by bartender Angus Woo from Draft Land to create three cocktails inspired by earth signs – Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.
