The “Family-Get-Togethers” category proved that dumplings really do bring everybody together, even if the making part of it has been outsourced to Din Tai Fung. The xiaolongbao specialists comes out on top, followed by all-day restaurant Harbourside at the Intercontinental. Rounding out the podium at third is Putien—a favourite for Fujian cuisine in town.

For “Social Corners”, Asia Miles members reveal their love of coffee culture, voting Coffee Alley into first place. Taiwanese Hot Pot comes in at second place—seems like when members aren’t flying directly to Taiwan for their fix, they’ll get the next closest thing in Hong Kong. All-day breakfast venue Brick Lane also gets a look-in for this category, reinforcing the notion that the first meal of the day really is the best, regardless of the time.

Hongkongers love nothing more than to unleash their inner gluttons on hotel buffets, and this was reflected in the “Celebratory Feasts” category. The Promenade at Harbour Grand Kowloon and JW Café scored first and second place respectively. Trailing at third place is Wa Shou Yakiniku for a beefy blowout.

Asia Miles also knows that in today’s social media age, the camera eats first, and has fittingly included the “Photogenic Feast” category. Taking top honours is cocktail haven, Dear Lilly, proving Hong Kong can’t get enough of Ashley Sutton’s whimsical interiors. Following swiftly behind is Yum Cha, home of quite possibly the most Instagrammed dim sum in Hong Kong, including the infamous custard buns, in which diners keep prodding holes in strategic places. In third place is Café Deco at The One, but with panoramic views like theirs, who’s snapping food photos?

Last but not least is “Choosy Foodies”, where discerning diners battle it out to name their favourite unique experience. Traditional Cantonese fare at Ah Yat Harbour View Restaurant gets the gold medal here, followed by low-key dim sum joint Tim Ho Wan.
