Are you a brunch lover? Well, we've got news for you, in the form of not one, not two, but FIVE spectacular new brunches to try. You're welcome
The Hong Kong dining scene is hotting up, with new openings around town, like Fukuro, Arbor and Elia, pushing hospitality standards and forcing outlets to do things a little differently. As patrons, we are a fickle bunch here in HK, often only trying things once before moving on to a completely new experience, and this is particularly true when it comes to the long-loved staple of free-flow brunch. This July, get excited for five new brunches in Hong Kong that bring the fun, flavours and free-flow.
