Hong Kong
As an international city and cultural hub in Asia, the food scene in this fragrant harbor (literal name of Hong Kong in Chinese) is like no other. From age-old local spots and serene teahouses to bougie bars, chic Western restaurants and cafes, Hong Kong has it all. It's simply a matter of knowing your spots. Here's my take on the city of lights.
Yurt: Hong Kong's First Modern Central Asian Restaurant
With roots in Kazakh, Uzbek, and Kyrgyz cuisine, Yurt pays homage to the traditions of Central Asia the city has never seen before. The restaurant sits in the heart of Hong Kong and quietly delivers the essence of Central Asian hospitality. It is curated, but at the same time, intimate, thoughtful and comforting.
