1. Tell Camellia
Tell Camellia is a tea-inspired cocktail bar in Central so it's no surprise that they want to communicate the story of the world of tea by blending it together with cocktails through modern experimental techniques. The name comes from Camellia Sinesis, the bush plant of tea. Co-founded by Sandeep Hathiramani, a Hong Kong native and acclaimed bar specialist and Gagan Gurung and award-winning bartender, Tell Camellia has only one dish on the menu: momo.
The rest of the menu is filled with drinks of various kinds. For their lone dish, Tell Camellia partnered up with Momo House, a virtual brand launched by the co-founders themselves. Due to high demand, Momo House is not only offering pick-up at Tell Camellia but order via Deliveroo is now available. The buffalo momo is all the rage here.
