If there’s someone we trust to take a drool-worthy photo, it’s got to be the folks at Dishtag. A search and social platform dedicated to food, Dishtag busted out their best photographers to coach over 20 lucky participants in a joint workshop, ‘Learn How to Take the Perfect Food Photo’.
Tickets sold out in just a few hours, and it’s not surprising why. Budding food photographers picked up tips and tricks on food styling, lighting and composition, making sure they had all the right tools in their arsenal for an amazing portfolio. A complimentary Porterhouse brunch buffet spread was prepared, giving them the opportunity to test out the new skills they’ve learned.

Winners walked away with a teapot set from Franc Franc. On top of that, a free Francfranc PUTON Cup Cover Hat was also gifted to all participants.

If your friend’s got a penchant for meaty and hearty meals, Nice Yakiniku & Fine Wine might just get him or her drooling. It’s hard for meat lovers to resist the charming Nice Yakiniku & Fine Wine located in Causeway Bay. As the name suggests, the restaurant features a variety of fine beef from Japan, Australia and the United States. The rare and special M9+ Australian Wagyu is worth a try, in addition to a variety of European wines to pair with.
Stepping into the restaurant, you can see the cabinet of dry-aged beef and a variety of famous wines neatly placed in a transparent wine cellar. Besides the stylish interior and high quality ingredients, the food here is incredibly good. There are two VIP rooms available for booking if you are having a large gathering.
The menu has a wide selection of beef. Among them, the M9+ Australian Wagyu is the most impressive: the quality is top-notch, with a soft colour and even oil distribution. The chef skilfully cooks it over a charcoal fire on the spot, making the outer part slightly tender and fragrant while keeping the inside soft and tender.
The Japanese A5 wagyu and the thinly-cut sirloin with onion and Japanese sauce are the perfect combination. The meat of the sirloin is tender and flavourful. You must try the Japanese A5 Wagyu with Onsen Tamago Rice! This bowl filled with pearl rice absorbing the aroma of roasted beef will leave you wanting for more.

The blue lobster is perhaps the king of all lobsters, fresher and sweeter than the rest. Get a bite of these sensational crustaceans at Rech by Alain Ducasse, which has series of new menus featuring the seasonal French blue lobsters. You can taste the fruits of the sea from southern France without having to leave Hong Kong!
We love the Crazy Blue Lobster Menu (available now till 31 August). How could you resist the Decadent Lobster Soufflé for two? The traditional French dish has generous chunks of lobster meat and a rich lobster broth, made with fresh blue lobsters shipped daily from Brittany. It’s not every day you see this dish in Hong Kong, much less one of such fantastic quality, so make sure you don’t miss it!
Before starting on the Soufflé, create a hole in the centre and pour in the lobster broth, which fills the souffle with a rich, creamy flavour. You’ll also find plenty of delicious lobster meat at the bottom of the dish.
Another great dish is the Blue Lobster and Courgette Flowers-Taggiasca Olives from the signature menu. A generous serving of grilled blue lobster sits on a bed of mashed zucchini.
The grilled blue lobster is served with grilled and mashed Violin Zucchini, a special French variety which grows only in Provence during the summer. The zucchini skins are stuffed with the lobster and mashed zucchini, along with olives, ginger, basil, and deep-fried zucchini flowers. Finally, a dash of olive powder enhance the flavours and brings the dish together.

Located at the heart of bustling Causeway Bay, La Bombance is famous for its sumptuous kaiseki experience that melds a variety of cuisines together. The original Tokyo restaurant has been awarded a Michelin star for a whopping nine consecutive years and this standard carries through to the Hong Kong outpost.
Like any good kaiseki meal, you can bet on a series of beautiful dishes created using fresh seasonal produce. But if you’re expecting the old-school version, think again! La Bombance’s menu features traditional classics with a subtle French twist and each mini work of art is elegant without being too pretentious.
Charcoal Grilled Dried Hokkaido Kinki Set
We recommend heading down during lunch if you’re pressed for time or lack the stomach space for 10 courses. Opt for the Charcoal Grilled Dried Hokkaido Kinki Set – gentle whiffs of this feast hit your nose as you exit the elevator to La Bombance – and savour a fish that’s delicately crispy on the outside with firm flesh within. Each order comes with a slew of the usual sides including Japanese rice, miso soup, and dessert. For a touch of luxury, indulge in the Steamed Egg Custard with Perigord Truffle; the contrast between the silky soft custard and the crunch bits of rice sprinkled on top is a real treat.
Mini Kaiseiki Set (Reservation only): Sakizuke Deep-fried langoustine in Kadaif style /Grilled rice ball topped with Unagi in Kabayaki style / Sweet corn mousse
Mini Kaiseiki Set (Reservation only): Onmono Pan-seared foie gras served with Kamonasu, beef tartar, summer truffle and balsamic vinegar sauce
The Mini Kaiseiki Set is another crowd favourite. Designed to reflect the seasons, this is six courses that taste and look amazing. Keep an eye, or tastebud, out for the sauces. Chef Okamoto brings the French sensibility for perfectly-balanced, complex sauces to an otherwise traditional Japanese spread. It’s these nuances that take La Bombance to another level.
During the day, the restaurant is awash in light, streaming in from the full-height glass panels, all the better to bring warmth to the wooden touches and modern elements decorating the space. With both world-class kaiseki and breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour, La Bombance is nothing short of spectacular.
