Combining two of Hong Kongers’ greatest loves – Korean cuisine and buffet dining – The Astor’s newly launched Korean Pocha Party experience stands out from the buffet pack this new year.

From this month, guests for lunch (from HKD418 pp) and dinner (from HKD728 pp) can dig into a lavish all-you-can-eat spread of viral Korean dishes at the Eaton HK restaurant, from seafood jjigae with tofu and cabbage and pork and kimchi creamy pasta to kimbap and corn dogs.

The Korean beef live station is a buffet highlight, as is the section dominated by Korean fried chicken – including this eye-catching pink black chicken. There are plenty of other meaty contenders too, such as Korean braised pork knuckle and pork belly, served both grilled and fried.

Each dinner guest will also be presented with a serving of honey butter lobster thermidor, available in both a cheesy version or with a kick of chilli added to the mix.

Diners will be spoilt for choice at the dessert section, which features the likes of Korean shaved ice, Korean melon with vanilla parfait and whisky, and a live station dishing out chibi taiyaki, mini fish-shaped cakes that are a popular Korean street food.

Four themed drinks are included in the buffet, from yuzu soju soda to guava and strawberry Calpis.

Wan Chai’s fan-favourite all-day café Bakery by The Grand has opened in Kowloon Tong, bringing artisanal sourdough pastries and breads, bakery and brunch plates, meaty mains, and magical desserts to Kowloon.

Featuring on their menu are three Wellington dishes, one classic beef, an usual monkfish centre, and a rather unique pigeon version. 

The Distinction Gold Pigeon Wellington (HKD328) is a locally award-winning dish conceptualised by head chef Derek Sit. 

Fusing together a deboned 28-day-aged pigeon breast, duck liver, and bacon within the centre of the dish, the bird is encircled in a baked homemade puff pastry and served with organic cabbage, pigeon jus, and pumpkin puree.
