In the name of natural, plant-based enjoyment for Vegan Month (November), The Cakery has launched a limited-edition collection of sweet treats in collaboration with Hong Kong actress and TV presenter Grace Chan. The collection is inspired by ube, a purple yam originally from the Philippines and Chan's favourite ingredient. With four different treats to choose from, customers can enjoy a crunchy ube cookie with chewy mochi centre, soft ube cupcake with ube jam and ube cream frosting, vanilla and ube cake with white chocolate ganache, and ube tart with chocolate ganache and toasted pistachio. The ube collection is available to order online and at all The Cakery locations from November 4 to 14. 

Whisk's chef de cuisine William Lau and chef de cuisine Thomas Caro from Rex Wine & Grill are joining forces this month to present a one-night-only collaboration dinner on November 3 from 7pm to 10.30pm. The two chefs, who previously worked and cooked together at Arbor, will combine French and Japanese elements with modern European flair, resulting in an eight-course menu priced at HK$1,688 per person. Menu highlights include an Ezo abalone dish paired with black rice and home-dried beef created by Lau, followed by Caro's lobster and scallop ravioli. What's more, the meal is paired with three cocktails made with Japanese whisky and vodka, by guest mixologist and founder of Hong Kong-based programme provider Spirits Cave, Sky Huo.
