Ho Lan Jeng
Central and Western
With a common Cantonese phrase loosely meaning ‘so f***ing good’ as its name, expect nothing but nods to local culture here. Promoting the craft beer scene is the mission, as indicated by huge illuminated signs reading ‘Gwai Lou herbal tea’ (meaning ‘beer’ in the cunning Canto tongue) and a menu full of niche local brews such as Citibrew, Moonzen and more. Equally Hong Kong-inspired are cocktails such as VLT (vodka and lemon tea) and Sesame Mochi (sesame whisky with peanut foam), as are items from the celebrated food menu – think Cantonese classics with a contemporary twist, such as slow-cooked Iberico char-siu and crème brûlée in Chinese fermented bean curd.
