Rosewood Hong Kong’s new wellness-themed restaurant is more than a spa accessory
“We are not a vegetarian restaurant,” said the cook who greeted us at our table. He pulled out the chair for us, and reassured two grown adults that Asaya Kitchen, Rosewood Hong Kong’s wellness-themed restaurant, is centered around wellness but not deprived of pleasure.
In a city where healthy eating establishments are blooming, Asaya Kitchen latches onto the wellness craze with an abundant selection of plant-based and pescatarian dining options from its all-day menu offerings, an excellent alternative to a cleanse, with lots of greens, salads, and seafood dishes made well.
The restaurant adjacent Asaya spa facility on level six of the luxury hotel is impressively designed by Tony Chi, whose aesthetics focus on filling the interiors with warm lighting and earth tones. The abundance of wooden furnishings fills the room, surrounding an open kitchen featuring a cornucopia of fresh produce and preserved foods in jars. A well-stocked outdoor bar connects the space between the main dining area and the hotel infinity pool, an excellent spot on a warm sunny day.
