Hong Kong's woman-about-town talks us through her preparations for the holidays
A longtime fixture of Hong Kong’s social scene, serial entrepreneur Bonnae Gokson has built a reputation around her unwavering eye for decadence, which is showcased perennially at her Central restaurant SEVVA and patisseries C’est La B and Ms. B's CAKERY.
In the run-up to the festive season, Bonnae introduced her Christmas menu at SEVVA along with a seasonal transformation of its interior. Bedecked with crystal chandeliers, towering candles and garlands of holly and mistletoe to create an ambience that was grand and opulent, Bonnae also added more personalised touches, such as handwritten name cards and golden candied apples to add a dose of intimacy.
We talked to her about the process of planning this year’s theme, and how she—and you—can find inspiration for welcoming Christmas at home.
