Between Coffee at Haus

We would be remiss without mentioning Japanese-style cafe Between's pop-up at our very own three-way collaboration with Mercedes-Benz and IWC Schaffhausen, Haus. Working with JIA Group, we brought the cafe from its home in Tai Kwun to a ground floor space on Queen's Road Central for the next three months. Visitors can try exclusive dishes curated by chef Agustin Balbi of one-star Ando, such as the Kagoshima wagyu katsu sando, avocado toast furikake and Japanese mayo, and the brand-new Japanese strawberry parfait. A selection of pour-over coffees has designed for the coffee lover in mind, while the pop-up menu includes the Haus exclusive: beetroot soy latte.

February is the month of love, especially in Asia where it doesn't formally end until White Valentine's Day on 14 March—where those who received favours on Valentine's Day are expected to return them. Riding on this romantic fervour is K11 Musea's Parisian-themed 'Musea Rouge' experience that brings 16 different activations to locations around the cultural-retail destination.

Of particular interest to gourmands is their afternoon tea set (HK$1,980 for two), which invites visitors to dine alfresco on the grassy rooftop lawn that is the Bohemian Garden, otherwise renamed Terrasse de Verre and replete with a pop-up glasshouse decorated with flowers from Blooms & Blossoms. Even better is K11 Musea's pledge to subsidise two healthy meals for those in need by donating HK$100 to "Food House - Social Miles” by onebite SOCIAL. This way, you'll be showing your love in more ways than one. For more details, click here.

To herald the new season, Bedu's chef Corey Riches is introducing six new additions to the menu in a continuation of his creative interpretation of Middle Eastern cuisine. Diners can whet the appetite with the pistachio and garlic labneh with a side of bread, or an ox heart tomato salad with dashings of watermelon radish, sambuca anise and cardamom. Mains include the salmon kibbeh nayeh, which mixes raw diced salmon with quinoa grains and pomegranate and scooped up with sourdough crisps; and the meaty harissa glazed chicken skewers, served with black garlic labneh.

A new cocktail menu inspired by One Thousand and One Nights offers ample hydration with seven new drinks, such as the Genie Spritz (Beefeater gin, sage cordial, butterfly pea tea, prosecco, yuzu), the Red Sea (Ballantine's scotch, rosemary syrup, red wine, lemon juice), and the Mellow King, an evocative reimagining of the espresso martini (vanilla-infused Havana rum, fresh cream, roasted marshmallow syrup, coffee, chocolate bitters).

In anticipation of International Women's Day on 8 March, two-Michelin-starred Écriture has announced a special menu for one day only that was conceived and will be executed by the women of the kitchen and front-of-house. Led by chef de cuisine Heloise Fischbach, the menu will include dishes like butternut cuttlefish with black truffle, smoked eel-infused Jerusalem artichoke and Blanc de Blanc Aveyron lamb, with desserts by chef de partie Tia Cheung. Guests can choose between a five-course lunch (HK$1,188) or the seven-course dinner (HK$1,888).

Fans of chef Asher Goldstein's Middle Eastern cooking can now recreate the flavours of Francis with a seasonal hamper of evocative spices and pastes. Each hamper includes house-made sauces and spreads—such as spiced local honey, pomegranate molasses, harissa and labneh—as well as spices sourced directly from Tel Aviv, like za'atar, sumac and the fiery zhoug (chilli, coriander, cumin, cardamom, pepper and parsley). Priced at HK$400, the hampers come with a selection of Goldstein's recipes and can be ordered online.
