Tatler Dining Hong Kong
A New Tide
Neon Afterglow • Since 1984, the Tatler Dining Guide has been a collection that celebrates the very best of dining in Hong Kong—not only the chefs, restaurateurs, sommeliers and more that make up the culinary scene, but the people and themes that make this city all the more special. Beginning in 2022, we have championed local artistic talents to give us their interpretation of what the city’s gastronomy means to them. Mally Cheung, who was born and raised in Hong Kong, rises to the challenge for this year’s edition

Those That Remain • 2022 saw a tide of the city’s oldest and most cherished dining institutions close their doors for good, succumbing to years of pandemic-related restrictions.
