1. Jija
Chef Vicky Lau of Tate Dining Room and Mora unveils her newest Hong Kong venture, Jija, a modern interpretation of Yunnan cuisine. The menu highlights quality ingredients such as a stir-fried vegetable dish elevated by yancai gao, a salty fermented vegetable paste from the province. The experience is complemented by a custom tea station and a dessert list that fuses Chinese and French traditions. With only 50 seats, this has the setting of an intimate dining place.
