Known for serving some of the best steaks in Hong Kong, Morton’s introduces dry-aged and whisky-infused dry-aged steaks for the first time. Four new premium cuts of steak including a dry-aged 16oz ribeye; 18oz bone-in strip; 24oz porterhouse; and a whisky-infused 16oz ribeye (available from mid July) will be featured on the classic American menu.

Dry-aged for 45 days, each steak develops tenderness and a unique buttery flavour and aroma. During the last 30 days of the process, the centre cut ribeye is also infused with Scotch on a daily basis, helping to tenderise the meat while tempering the strong dry-aged flavour for a more balanced choice. Other new plates to try include the less carnivorous herb roasted cauliflower steak.

For two days only—on August 11 and 12—two of the city's top restaurants are coming together to bring the best of Chinese and Indian cuisine to the table. The collaboration is between modern Indian restaurant Chaat and Forum, a Hong Kong institution in traditional Cantonese cuisine, who are teaming up for a six-course lunch (Aug 11 and 12) and eight-course dinner (Aug 12) at Chaat.

Born out of mutual respect for their individual cuisines, Chaat's executive chef de cuisine Manav Tuli and Forum's executive chef Adam Wong use their creativity in a cultural blend of dishes including roasted chicken wing stuffed with lamb kebab, pan-fried Chinese grouper with Indian curry sauce, Forum x Chaat Ah Yat signature fried basmati rice, and more.
