Hong Kong, 27 February 2026 — The Mira Hong Kong hosted the second annual Ramadan Iftar Dinner on 26 February, reinforcing the city’s efforts to position itself as a Muslim‑friendly destination and a regional hub for culturally inclusive hospitality. The invitation‑only event took place at the penthouse ballroom of the design-driven retreat named Muslim‑Friendly Hotel of the Year at the Halal in Travel Awards 2025 by CrescentRating. Building on the inaugural Iftar hosted last year — the first of its kind staged by a luxury hotel in the Asia’s World City – the event was jointly organised with the Consulate General of Türkiye in Hong Kong and Miramar Travel.

Among nearly 200 Guests invited were VIP officials from the HKSAR Government, members of the Legislative Council, and leaders from Hong Kong’s tourism, hospitality, and business sectors including: Guest of Honour – Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration, Cheuk Wing Hing; Olympian gold medallist, Ms Vivian Kong, Legislative Council Member, Functional Constituency – Tourism; Commissioner for Tourism, Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, Mrs Angelina Cheung; as well as Hong Kong Tourism Board’s Executive Director, Mr Anthony Lau. They were joined by Consuls General of 12 other countries, spanning Muslim‑majority nations across the Middle East and Asia, representing Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as Romania and Poland. Also in attendance were members of the Board of Trustees — the governing body of Hong Kong’s Islamic community — underscoring the event’s role as both a diplomatic and community‑focused gathering.

At sunset, the meaningful evening began with a recitation from the Holy Quran by Mufti Muhammad Arshad, Chief Imam of Hong Kong, followed by the symbolic breaking of the fast with dates and lentil soup in an elegant setting of the 10,000‑square‑foot penthouse ballroom transformed with décor referencing Istanbul’s architectural heritage with iconic Blue Mosque and Iznik pottery reflecting a tangible intersection between Chinese porcelain aesthetics and Ottoman-era craftsmanship, echoing cultural exchanges along the Silk Road between East and West.

At the heart of the celebration was a rich and diverse Halal buffet curated by The Mira Hong Kong’s culinary team offering a broad selection of Middle Eastern, Asian and International dishes, designed to reflect the diversity of Hong Kong’s multicultural dining landscape. Authentic Turkish highlights such as iconic chicken döner carving and lamb kebab with mint yoghurt, presented next to vibrant mezze spread, and classic desserts such as crispy cheese kunafa, and Turkish date halva, were served along signature Chinese halal specialities from Michelin-recommended Cuisine Cuisine including signature Peking duck, as well as international favourites including beef Madras curry.

A vibrant highlight of the gathering was the interactive Ramadan Bazaar featuring culinary and cultural delights: Turkish coffee brewed in hot sand, traditional baklava with pistachios, and freshly baked Turkish pretzels (simit) prepared following the exact recipe shared by the Consul General of Türkiye. Engaging Turkish shadow puppet theatre, live Ebru marbling art, and live music by The Saffron Quartet, performing traditional Turkish and Middle Eastern compositions using authentic instruments, transporting Guests in time and space.

Addressing the Guests gathered, Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration, Cheuk Wing Hing, said: “We are committed to further promoting Muslim tourism and facilitating Halal certification, as outlined in the Chief Executive’s 2025 Policy Address. Our goal is clear: to enhance Muslim-friendly services for our residents, and to position Hong Kong as a welcoming destination for Muslim visitors from around the world. Through sustained collaboration, we can strengthen Hong Kong’s reputation as a vibrant, inclusive city and enrich its cultural tapestry with diversity.”

Reflecting on the significance of the occasion, Mr Alexander Wassermann, Head of Hotels & Serviced Apartments, Miramar Group, said: “It is a meaningful honour for The Mira Hong Kong to host a Ramadan Iftar Dinner once again as a continued commitment to providing a unique platform where cultures connect through hospitality, respect and shared experiences. This annual celebration not only honours the spirit of Ramadan but also underscores The Mira’s leadership in forging Muslim friendly hospitality. Leveraging on the prime location neighbouring with the Kowloon Mosque, and offering broad range of services ranging from halal Cantonese fine dining, halal wedding banquets to halal coffee breaks for meetings and events, our design-led, tech-forward property named Muslim Friendly Hotel of the Year by CrescentRating, continues to align our guest experience in newly refurbished guest rooms with Global Muslim Travel Index identified trends so that The Mira Hong Kong remains a destination hotel of choice for Muslim leisure and corporate travellers, and a benchmark for inclusive hospitality in our city.”

23 February 2026, Hong Kong: Hong Kong’s lunch scene gets a fresh sense of adventure with the arrival of the Lunar New Year as Yamm, the much‑loved all‑day dining restaurant at The Mira Hong Kong, launches “Caravan of Flavours” — a rotating series of four destination‑inspired lunch buffets that transform every weekday break into a mini culinary escape starting from March 2.

Designed for diners who crave variety, authenticity and discovery, the new programme introduces four distinct regional themes, rotating weekly, each rooted in the flavours, techniques and comfort foods of its origin. From the spice‑laden routes of the Silk Road to the herb‑bright kitchens of Southeast Asia’s popular destinations competing for a title of foodie culinary mecca and the sun‑washed coasts of the Mediterranean, Yamm’s lunch buffet becomes an invitation to explore — no passport required.

Anchoring every theme are the restaurant’s most‑loved signatures, including chilled seafood on ice and live‑carved roasted Peking duck, ensuring familiar favourites remain while the rest of the spread shifts weekly. The result: a lunch experience that feels indulgent yet transportive, and always worth sharing.


Silk Road Buffet: From Xi’an to the Levant and Turkey

Drawing inspiration from one of history’s most legendary trade routes, the Silk Road Lunch Buffet journeys across Northern China, Central Asia and the Middle East, celebrating slow‑cooked dishes, bold spices and deeply satisfying comfort food.

The experience is anchored by hand‑pulled Xi’an biang biang noodles and a warming Lanzhou‑style beef noodle soup, prepared live and rich with aromatic depth. Street‑food classics such as Xi’an rou jia mo, often dubbed the original Chinese hamburger, sit alongside Niangpi cold noodles, offering contrasting textures and spice levels. Hearty mains follow, from Xinjiang big plate chicken (Da Pan Ji) to pashtun‑style beef chapli kebabs and lamb skewers seasoned with cumin and coriander.

At the carving station, a Persian‑spiced roast leg of lamb is served with yoghurt tahini sauce, while desserts finish the journey on a fragrant note with rose‑scented semolina cake, fig and honey panna cotta, and Turkish rice pudding infused with saffron and cardamom. It’s a spread that feels bold, generous and richly layered, much like the route that inspired it.


Mediterranean Voyage Memories: From Naples to Nice and Marrakesh

Bright, relaxed and seafood‑forward, the Mediterranean Voyage Memories Lunch Buffet captures the easy indulgence of coastal dining from Southern Europe to North Africa.

The journey begins lightly with Greek salad with feta and olives, tabbouleh bursting with fresh parsley, and salmon escabeche, before moving into comforting classics such as Marseille bouillabaisse served with garlic bread and aioli. Pasta and rice dishes take centre stage with squid ink linguine generously loaded with seafood and paella studded with prawns, mussels and chicken.

From the grill and ovens come herb‑roasted pork belly, lamb rack with lemon and garlic, and grilled prawns finished with garlic butter, while warmer flavours appear in famous Greek beef stew (stifado) and Moroccan chicken tagine with preserved lemon and green olives adding tangy zing to the tender meat. Desserts echo the region’s café culture, featuring pistachio tiramisu, crème Catalan, churros with chocolate sauce and the ever‑popular Portuguese egg tart.


Malay & Singaporean Sizzling Specials: Lion City Meets Penang’s Riches

Familiar yet exotic, aromatic and deeply nostalgic, the Malay & Singaporean Lunch Buffet pays tribute to the hawker heritage and home‑style cooking of the region influenced by Chinese culinary traditions.

Rich, slow‑simmered flavours shine in beef rendang and Malaysian chicken curry, while rice and noodle favourites such as Hainanese chicken rice, char kway teow, and Fried oyster omelette deliver instant familiarity. A live noodle station serves Singapore laksa with spicy coconut broth, alongside the lesser‑seen but equally comforting white curry noodles with fish dumplings and shrimp.

New highlights include grilled fish wrapped in banana leaf with ginger, lime and brown sugar, while interactive stations bring energy to the room with lok lok skewers dipped in house sauces and chicken and beef satay served fresh off the grill with peanut sauce. Desserts round out the experience with Southeast Asian classics like gula melaka sago and durian pudding — unapologetically indulgent and true to destination famous for the thorny delights.


Thai & Vietnamese Buffet: A Spiced-Up Spread of Hawker Delights

Vibrant, herb‑driven and bold, the Thai & Vietnamese Lunch Buffet captures the pulse of Bangkok and Hanoi in one energetic spread.

Freshness leads the way with som tam topped with grilled prawns, spicy duck salad with mango and pomelo, and lemongrass‑scented chicken with glass noodles. Live stations are a major draw, serving Saigon‑style pho and stone‑pot tom yum soup enriched with prawns, squid and crispy rice.

Hot dishes bring depth and heat, from Vietnamese caramelised pork belly and Thai crab omelette with sriracha, to grilled catfish perfumed with turmeric and dill. Street‑food favourites with a twist such as banh mi croissants, crispy Vietnamese spring rolls, and pandan leaf chicken complete a spread that balances spice, fragrance and comfort in every bite.

The Lowdown
With four rotating themes, generous live stations and a strong sense of place in every menu, Hong Kong foodies may now plan their culinary itinerary from Saigon to Singapore, Istanbul and Naples all in one month as Yamm’s Caravan of Flavours turns lunch into a journey — one that rewards repeat visits and sparks conversation long after the last plate.
Whether you’re craving the warmth of Silk Road spices, the freshness of Mediterranean seafood or the comfort of Southeast Asian classics, Yamm proves that a memorable lunch infused with authentic and exotic flavours can be more than a meal. It can be a true escape from the ordinary and an inspiration to travel deeper on your next holiday.
