Michelin-Starred Chef Santi Taura Presents the Bygone Bounty of Mallorca at WHISK Dining Atelier

Following the Ballroom celebration, WHISK Dining Atelier sets its course for Mallorca, welcoming Michelin-starred Chef Santi Taura for a rare two-night takeover. Bygone Bounty of Mallorca showcases an eight-course journey through the history, customs, recipes and native ingredients of the Balearic Islands, told through the flavours that have shaped the chef’s homeland for generations.
 
A Mallorca native, Chef Taura is widely regarded as both custodian and innovator of the island’s culinary identity. At his flagship One Michelin Star restaurant, DINS Santi Taura in Palma de Mallorca, he draws inspiration from historic Mallorcan culinary manuscripts while championing seasonality, native produce and flavour-driven cooking presented on dinnerware of his own making – a testament of careful attention to every detail of dining experience. Among his many distinctions are preparing meals for members of the Spanish Royal Family and earning Two Soles from the Guía Repsol, one of Spain’s most respected gastronomic accolades.
 
For this exclusive menu, familiar regional recipes and time-honoured techniques are reimagined with contemporary precision. Signature dishes include Modern Fish Escabeche, Traditional Mallorcan Fish Croquettes, Seared Mediterranean Amberjack with Sweet Peppers and Artisan Organic Pork Sausage on Rustic Brown Bread. The culinary centrepiece is the Slow-braised Lamb Neck and Mallorcan Sobrassada-filled Pasta with Red Wine Reduction, Shimeji, Mint and Horseradish Air, a rustic celebratory dish traditionally enjoyed during the grape harvest season.
 
With only two evenings available, seats for this rare encounter with Mallorca’s culinary heritage are strictly limited.

11 September 2026, Hong Kong: For anyone who has ever struggled to choose between a cheese board and a chocolate cake as dessert, The Mira has finally found the perfect solution: don’t choose at all. This autumn, WHISK Dining Atelier, The Mira Hong Kong’s dedicated culinary events space, is giving foodies a reason to mark their calendars with the launch of Chocolate & Cheese Mania, a new monthly indulgence devoted to two of the world’s greatest obsessions. With all three events on September 4, October 2, and November 13 sold-out in an instant, by popular demand two more dates on 23 October, and 20 Nov 2026 were just added for those who missed out in the first place.

Bringing together premium French cheese from Cheese Club experts and Valrhona chocolate pairings, unlimited enjoyment of seven artisanal French cheeses, and an all-you-can-enjoy line-up of raclette, fondue, fresh pasta and decadent desserts, the experience culminates in the city’s first-ever all-you-can-desire Chocolate Raclette, where a giant wheel of melted Valrhona chocolate is shaved over desserts, fruit and pastries in a sweet take on the classic Alpine ritual.

Running once a month from September 4 on selected Friday nights, Chocolate & Cheese Mania transforms WHISK into a heaven for fromage fanatics, chocoholics and anyone who believes a Friday night dinner deserves to be a little more fun, active and experiential, encouraging lively conversations, repeat visits to the cheese station, and plenty of camera-worthy moments.

Does Chocolate Pair with Cheese?
Is a question many may ask and this event is facilitating a chance to cast your own judgement as the evening begins with a pairing platter featuring five premium French cheeses and five Valrhona chocolates carefully matched to reveal unexpected flavour synergies with a common denominator – diary – and contrasting textures.

Among the standouts is a 36-month aged Comté from France’s Jura mountains paired with Valrhona Guanaja, a legendary 70% dark chocolate blend of Grand Crus known for its bittersweet character and aromatic complexity. The mature cheese’s nutty, caramelised profile finds a surprisingly natural companion in the chocolate’s intense cocoa depth. Guests will also explore the pairing of truffle-infused Camembert with Valrhona Jivara 40% milk chocolate, whose creamy cocoa notes and gentle hints of vanilla complement the cheese’s earthy richness. Another conversation starter is Bleu de Séverac matched with Dulcey, the famous 32% “blond” chocolate born from a happy accident that ultimately created chocolate’s fourth colour. The result is a sweet-salty combination of blue cheese intensity and caramelised biscuit notes that challenges conventional dessert wisdom.

Adding even more playful twist are the optional wine pairings by the Sommelier of The Mira, Alan Sun, who curated a short list of racy, fruity, and bold reds, as well as refreshing mineral whites by the glass, and even fine Old-World wines by the bottle, available at an extra charge, starting from HK$90 only.

Come for the Pairings, Stay for the Unlimited Cheese & Chocolate Delights
For those who believe there is no such thing as too much cheese, the unlimited Cheese & Chocolate Corner delivers exactly what its name promises. The spread features seven beloved French varieties from distinct regions, including Comté, Brie de Meaux, Camembert de Normandie, Époisses, Ossau-Iraty, Morbier and Fourme d’Ambert Fermière, each with their nuanced texture and flavour profile.

On the sweeter side, The Mira’s Executive Pastry Chef Alexis Watrin presents a selection of desserts showcasing Valrhona chocolate in multiple forms. Think chocolate opera cake, dark chocolate tarts, macarons made with Valrhona Pur Caraïbe 66% chocolate, Black Forest verrines and artisanal chocolate tablets topped with combinations such as cranberry and pistachio, salted caramel and hazelnut, or candied orange with roasted almonds.

A la Minute Cheese & Chocolate Temptations
Then comes the section many guests may find impossible to leave. At the live cooking stations, molten Raclette cheese is shaved over potatoes, baguette, cornichons and poached eggs, while a smoked cheese fondue fountain invites dipping with sausages, green apples and toasted bread. Freshly made pasta is prepared carbonara-style throughout the evening, alongside warm Valrhona chocolate lava cake.
The showstopper is undoubtedly the Chocolate Raclette. Inspired by the classic Alpine cheese ritual, WHISK replaces the cheese wheel with premium melted chocolate, creating an over-the-top dessert experience that promises to be one of the season’s most Instagrammable food moments.

Adding precious insights to each edition is guest cheese expert Angel Jundez, an Academy of Cheese Certified Cheese Specialist and Artisanal Cheese Master with WSET Level 2 certification. Throughout the evening, she will share tasting notes, production stories and pairing suggestions, helping guests understand why certain chocolates can elevate the flavours of specific cheeses and vice versa, and how to correctly match them with optional wine.

Available once a month from 6:30pm to 9:30pm, Chocolate & Cheese Mania is priced at HK$588 per person (plus 10% service charge).

8 September 2026, Hong Kong: On a memorable night of September 2, 2026, The Mira Hong Kong proudly hosted the sold-out r é n in the Kitchen Charity Night at its penthouse Ballroom, bringing together nearly 200 guests, eight of Hong Kong’s celebrated chefs and numerous industry supporters for an evening dedicated to empowering disadvantaged youth through education, skills development and employment opportunities.
 
As a long-standing partner of r é n 人 Hong Kong since its inception in 2023, The Mira sponsored the venue and provided full culinary, service and operational support for the event, which served as the platform for the official launch of the r é n Community Foundation, a registered charity committed to expanding opportunities for underprivileged young people in Hong Kong.

The one-night-only gastronomic collaboration featured an eight-course menu created and prepared by an all-star culinary line-up including Olivier Elzer (L’Envol), Loïc Portalier (Louise), David Lai (Neighborhood), Sebastian Lorenzi (Té Bo), Mitsuru Konishi (Plaisance by Mauro Colagreco), Rania Hatoum (RH Fine Dining), Kylie Yang (ZS Hospitality) and Alexis Watrin of The Mira Hong Kong.
 
Guests enjoyed dishes ranging from Ossetra Caviar Tarte and Black Truffle Caramelised Onion Tart to Shellfish & Squid Ragout, Raviolo of Wagyu Beef Cheek, Bouillabaisse, M6 Wagyu Beef Tenderloin and a pair of distinctive desserts by Chefs Kylie Yang and Alexis Watrin.
 
The evening also featured a charity auction supported by generous sponsors and donors from across the hospitality and lifestyle sectors. Through donated experiences and rare objects from hand-painted ceramics to dessert cabinet, and including luxury accommodation, dining and wellness offerings from The Mira Hong Kong, the auction generated more than HK$70,000 on top of event ticket sales and pledges totalling more than HK$261,000 – an impactful sum directed to benefit the r é n Community Foundation.
 
Reflecting on the milestone, Jo Soo-Tang, Founder of r é n, said: “This event carries special meaning for us. The Mira Hong Kong was one of our launch partners and has supported our mission from the very beginning. As we celebrate three years of growth and the launch of the r é n Community Foundation, it is inspiring to see our community of supporters, beneficiaries and industry partners come together to create even more opportunities for underserved youth across Hong Kong.”
 
Kieran Gibbs, Co-Owner of Foodie, added: “Success isn’t measured solely by audience reach or market share. It is also about how effectively we can use our platform and resources to create positive social impact. Through our connection with Hong Kong’s culinary community, employers and tastemakers, we believe we have a responsibility to help create meaningful opportunities for the next generation. We are proud to have supported r é n in bringing together so many talented chefs, partners and guests in support of this important mission.”

“At The Mira Hong Kong, hospitality is ultimately about people,” said Alexander Wassermann, Head of Hotels & Serviced Apartments, Miramar Group. “We are proud to have supported r é n since day one and have witnessed first-hand the confidence and professional skills many programme beneficiaries have developed through hospitality training and workplace opportunities. Supporting this event reflects our long-term commitment to creating meaningful impact in our community and helping young people build brighter futures.”
 
The Mira Hong Kong also extends its sincere appreciation to all participating chefs, valued media partner Foodie, beverage sponsors, prize sponsors and every guest whose generosity contributed to the success of the evening. The event represents the latest chapter in The Mira Hong Kong’s ongoing CSR efforts, which in the past years included internship placements for r é n’s beneficiaries, reinforcing its belief that hospitality can be a powerful force for positive social change when communities, businesses and individuals come together with a shared purpose.


About r é n
Founded by Jo -Soo-Tang in 2023, r é n was born from a collective of individuals who treasure community and good food while bringing people together to do good for the community. Blending human kindness and food to raise awareness and money for charities in Hong Kong that are on the front line serving those in need, r é n’s concept is simple – to make fundraising initiatives more meaningful while maximising impact to the charities. To do this, r é n has brought together a group of people, the Advocates, from the F&B industry as well as other sectors, who are passionate about HUMANITY, GOODNESS and FOOD.

19 August 2026, Hong Kong: What does Hong Kong really taste like? At Vibes, the answer comes in the form of new cocktails that bring up an instant association with a glass of yuen yeung, a spoonful of red bean ice, a paper bag of preserved plums and a late-night bowl of tong sui. Launching on 31 August 2026, the new “Memories of Our Years: Hong Kong Nostalgia Cocktail Collection” transforms the city’s everyday rituals, revered flavours and disappearing neighbourhood institutions into eight inventive cocktails. Priced from HK$128 per cocktail, the collection served at one of Tsim Sha Tsui’s most spacious, hidden open-air bar lounges draws inspiration from tea houses, cha chaan tengs, herbal medicine shops, family-run corner stores and dessert parlours that have shaped generations of Hong Kong memories.

Conceived as a love letter to the city, the collection looks beyond postcard landmarks and iconic skylines. Instead, it celebrates the places many locals still carry with them long after they have left the neighbourhood: the bing sutt where school holidays disappeared over a red bean ice, the herbal shop lined with drawers of roots and dried fruits, the corner store owner who knew every child by name, or the cha chaan teng where the aroma of coffee, tea and condensed milk remains uniquely Hong Kong. These are the establishments that continue to be the heart and soul of local communities, many lovingly preserved across generations. The result is a cocktail menu that feels deeply local. Rather than reproducing familiar flavours exactly, Vibes mixologists reimagines them through contemporary bar techniques, blending premium spirits and house-made infusions into drinks that are both a conversation starter and a cultural reference point.

Among 8 hero standouts is Misty Pu Er, a striking amber-hued cocktail that pays tribute to old-school tea houses. Earthy Pu Er-infused tequila is lifted with lime, agave and yuzu foam, translating the ritual of lingering over tea into something bright, modern and reviving. For anyone who has ever started the day with Hong Kong’s favourite caffeine fix, Mr Yuen Yeung offers a spirited interpretation of the city’s iconic coffee-tea hybrid. Earl Grey-infused gin, Ceylon tea, condensed milk syrup and coffee foam combine into a creamy, bittersweet concoction that captures the unmistakable atmosphere of the cha chaan teng.

Ka Ying Che taps into Hong Kong’s fascination with preserved fruits and their salty and sour, sharp, medicinal taste. Infused with plum, umeshu and lemon, then crowned with airy “Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa” cough syrup foam, it recalls the childhood flavours found in traditional preserved fruit shops (leung gwor pou). Traditional Chinese Medicine further finds its place behind the bar in form of Kowloon Highball which takes cues from the city’s atmospheric herbal pharmacies, marrying baijiu with red date syrup, lemon and a house-made goji berry and hawthorn soda. Light, refreshing and faintly herbal, it borrows the language of heat-dispelling traditional remedies and gives it a contemporary nightlife.

The collection also embraces some of the city’s most beloved comfort foods. Mira Red Bean Ice reimagines the classic bing sutt dessert through roasted coconut-infused vodka, red bean purée, condensed milk and red bean liqueur into a creamy but boozy pleasure, echoing the relief of a chilled red bean ice on a sweltering summer afternoon. For those with a sweet tooth, Tong Shui Po offers a decadent homage to the late-night dessert shops that remain an essential part of Hong Kong’s dining culture. Black sesame-infused vodka meets mango purée, mango liqueur, coconut cream and black sesame syrup in a cocktail that evokes the flavours of sesame soup, mango desserts and lingering conversations long after dinner at one of the bright parlours where locals queue up for a sugar-charged “nightcap”.

Perhaps the most unexpected creation is First Moon Yuet, inspired by the traditional Cantonese celebration marking a baby’s first month. The cocktail draws upon the sweet, warming flavours of classic Chinese vinegar pork trotters with ginger and egg, that could be found at herbal tea shops (leung cha pou). Blending jalapeño infused tequila, ginger liqueur, iconic “Pat Chun” sweetened vinegar and egg white into a savoury, tangy drinking experience complete with soy-infused quail egg, this cocktail is synonymous with family gatherings and neighbourly care.
Rounding off the menu is Bittersweet Jade, arguably the collection’s most symbolic drink. Inspired by handmade maltose cracker snacks once sold in neighbourhood mom-and-pop corner stores, it pairs nostalgic maltose-honey sweetness with bitter melon juice, mezcal and vermouth. It reflects Hong Kong itself: a city shaped by contrasts, resilience and a willingness to embrace flavours that are anything but one-dimensional.

The accompanying menu design with embossed neon-like cover further reinforces the storytelling, pairing each cocktail with illustrations and references to the neighbourhood institutions that inspired them. From cha chaan tengs and tea houses to herbal medicine shops and tong sui stores, the collection creates a visual and sensory journey through the city that many grew up with, offering a valuable insight to hotel guests and overseas visitors alike, especially those yet to get their virgin taste of dim sum, hop on a Star Ferry ride, and make a curious peek into a bustling late-night diner.

Set within Vibes’ lush courtyard setting, surrounded by lotus-shaped fire pits, waterways and private cabanas, the newly introduced set of cocktails offers a kind of Hong Kong drinking experience that isn’t about replicating international cocktail classics with a local touch. Instead, it serves as a cultural crash course and immersion into flavours, traditions and stories hiding in plain sight across the city.
Memories of Our Years: Hong Kong Nostalgia Cocktail Collection launches on 31 August 2026 and is available daily at Vibes, The Mira Hong Kong, from HK$128 per cocktail, subject to a 10% service charge.

For detailed menus, please visit the hotel website.

This summer, the king of fruits takes centre stage as The Mira Hong Kong unveils the much-anticipated return of its Durian Extravaganza: Golden Age of Nyonya, an immersive nine-night celebration of Malaysian culture, cuisine, and the world’s most coveted durians. Running from July 13 to 15 and July 21 to 26 at the hotel’s penthouse Ballroom, the experience is staged in collaboration with Tourism Malaysia and Miramar Travel, bringing together over one tonne of freshly harvested Malaysian durians—delivered and opened at peak ripeness within 36 hours from harvest for an unparalleled tasting journey. Building on the sold-out success of last year, this year’s edition expands with a richer durian selection, deeper exploration of Nyonya heritage cuisine, and an elevated entertainment programme headlining Penang’s Dolphin Tone Prince, Rax Teh, and stand-up comedian Monkey D, all set within a nostalgically styled Peranakan mansion setting.

This exciting collaboration is a part of Miravellous Taste of Malaysia – a strategic partnership between Miramar Group and Tourism Malaysia, spanning Malaysian durian dining across the group outlets, origin-led travel experiences by Miramar Travel spotlighting the origins of popular durians, cultural showcases of the Durian Extravaganza, and exclusive Mi+ lifestyle app member privileges with up to 20% discount on the event tickets, all under an all-encompassing exciting summer program.

A Theatre of Freshly Opened Durian at the Penthouse Ballroom
At the heart of the experience is the Freshly Open Durian Theatre, where guests witness and savour durians at their absolute peak of flavour from delicately sweet and custardy to bold, bitter, and intensely aromatic expressions. Fully ripened on the tree and delivered to Hong Kong on the very same day, each fruit is opened within 36 hours of harvest from trusted farms in Pahang, including the heartland of Musang King in Raub, Johor, and Kelantan – the birthplace of Musang King originating from old Raja Kunyit trees, personally visited by The Mira’s team and their trusted durian expert B-Gor. Guests are invited to explore a rotating selection of at least 8 varieties each evening, part of a wider seasonal repertoire of over 20 durian cultivars showcasing a staggering spectrum of flavours and textures, each with a story behind.

Astounding Variety of All-you-can-eat Durian, Expertly Guided by Durian Expert
Throughout the evening, The Mira’s trusted durian experts sourcing the precious crops from a network of quality family-owned farms will guide guests through the tasting, helping them navigate flavour profiles and identify their personal favourites. Among the selections, familiar classics such as sweet and creamy D13 Golden Bun, established D24 Sultan and its premium X.O type, fruity D101 Mas, milky white Susu, nostalgic and creamy D1 GangHai and bitter-sweet, thick and sticky D2 Dato Nina revered by hard-core durian lovers meet rare treasures: from Black Pearl from Johor to D145 Hijau – the pride of Beserah in Pahang with its floral, buttery notes; and Penang-origin cultivars such as Marangang as well as old-tree Tang Lai. Each variety showcases a distinct personality—from mellow and creamy to richly complex and pungent—making every visit a unique sensory journey.

Premium Tasting Platter & Mystery Box Discoveries
Complementing the free-flow experience is a Premium Durian Tasting Platter, featuring 5 curated varieties including icons such as D200 Black Thorn and D197 Musang King, alongside three rotating selections drawn from a line-up of ten premium and rare types. From extraordinary finds like Tupai King to Penang’s darling marbled orange-yellow Red Prawn, and ultra-smooth and heavenly creamy D198 Golden Phoenix, and other elusive cultivars, each evening offers a fresh opportunity to discover new expressions of the fruit—many commanding some of the highest prices in the market or rarely available outside Malaysia. The anticipation builds nightly, as the exact lineup is revealed only on the day, guided by seasonal harvests and daily arrivals.

Beyond Durian: Nyonya Heritage Cuisine, Exotic Fruits & Sweet Discoveries
Beyond durian, guests will be treated to a lavish dinner buffet of authentic Nyonya cuisine, curated by The Mira’s culinary team under the guidance of Baba Nyonya culinary expert. The experience reflects the rich heritage of Peranakan cuisine, blending Malay and Chinese influences into a tapestry of bold, aromatic flavours.

Among the offerings, several standout dishes elevate the evening into a true cultural journey. The Udang Masak Lemak Nenas delivers a luscious harmony of creamy coconut milk, gentle spice, and the natural sweetness of pineapple. Meanwhile, the Asam Laksa, a beloved Malaysian staple, captivates with its tangy tamarind broth layered with herbs, spices, and delicate noodles, offering a bold contrast to the richness of durian. For those seeking comfort, the Ayam Pongteh presents a deeply savoury slow-braised chicken stew imbued with fermented soybean paste and warm spices—an understated yet soulful representation of Nyonya home cooking.

The experience is rounded off with 10 traditional Nyonya sweets and durian-infused desserts, including pandan-infused Kuih Koci (coconut palm sugar rice parcels wrapped in banana leaves) and tortoise-shaped Nyonya Ang Ku Kueh (steamed glutinous rice cakes filled with sweet mung bean paste) to delicate Onde Onde rice dumplings, as well as a playful Ais Kacang live station, durian mochi, durian soft-serve ice cream, and luscious durian chocolate fountain.

While durian remains the star of each night, guests can also explore Malaysia’s vibrant tropical harvest, including cempedak—a sweeter, softer cousin of jackfruit with unctuous caramel flavour and tender flesh. Seasonal fruits such as mangosteen and rambutan will offer refreshingly cooling counterpoints to the durian feast.

All guests will also receive a curated Malaysian gift bag presented in a traditional wicker basket, filled with local snacks—a fitting memento of the experience to enjoy at home or share with friends.

Hong Kong, 24 March 2026 — This April, WHISK Dining Atelier welcomes Bangkok-based culinary icon Chef Arnaud Dunand Sauthier for Alpine Encounter — a Michelin-starred two-night takeover hosted at The Mira in celebration of 200 years’ anniversary of evian®, marking two centuries since the first bottling of the iconic natural spring water at the source in 1826. Expect a pristine Alpine spring tasting journey that captures the fleeting flavours of mountain terroir at their peak from Alpine char with white asparagus and fir to milk-fed lamb lifted by bear garlic, curated into a 7-course menu available at dinner only on 24 & 25 April at HK$1,288 per person. Seats are strictly limited so book ahead via mira-eshop.com to be a part of this once in a generation occasion.

A Michelin-starred Chef Shaped by Savoie

Chef Arnaud found his passion for cooking in the mountains of Savoie, building his career through esteemed kitchens in France alongside some of the world’s most renowned culinary talents, including Marc Veyrat, Jacques Lameloise, and Jean Francois Piège at Hôtel de Crillon. A milestone decision in his journey came in 2012, when he took the helm of Bangkok’s prime fine dining institution Le Normandie, elevating it to new heights. Five years later, he earned the restaurant two Michelin stars in the first Michelin Guide Bangkok (2017) and maintained a level of quality and consistency that was truly worth a detour.

Now, as the owner-chef of Maison Dunand — a chalet-inspired dining venue that has retained One MICHELIN Star across three consecutive editions — Chef Arnaud plates a menu rooted in Savoie and childhood memories, yet inspired by his travels through Asia: a signature of quiet confidence and an evolution of personal style.


A Two-Night Alpine Encounter at WHISK — Spring’s Harvest, at Its Most Vivid

Available for two nights only in Hong Kong, Chef Arnaud’s menu is an homage to Alpine bounty — a focused celebration of springtime in the mountains, where the harvest is fleeting and flavour is at its most pristine. Diners can expect a seasonal journey crafted into a refined multi-course experience, spotlighting standout ingredients such as Omble Chevalier (Alpine Char) from glacial lakes, paired with White Asparagus and Fir — a symbol of the region’s natural beauty and ecological health.

From the forest comes Fresh Morels with Swiss Chard, while the main course celebrates spring’s green intensity with Milk-fed Lamb lifted by Bear Garlic — a wild seasonal vegetable known for delicate deep-green leaves, starburst-white flowers, and a heady aroma of garlic. The menu also features creamy Vacherin Raviolis with Lemon, and the highly popular Bricelet — a thin, delicate golden waffle found across the Swiss Alps in both sweet and savoury renditions — at WHISK presented with Pike Perch and White Fish Roe as an appetizer. Dessert ends on a bright note with Menton Lemon with Buttermilk & Basil, zesty and herbaceous in equal measure.


Raise a Toast to Pristine Taste – 200 Years of evian®

This year, evian® celebrates 200 years since first bottling its natural mineral water in 1826, marking a once-in-a-generation milestone with celebrations at the source in Évian-les-Bains and across Asia honouring the brand’s heritage. Proud to be present on the tables of some of the world’s finest and most celebrated restaurants — in Hong Kong and beyond — evian® marks its 200-year celebration within a sophisticated world of fine dining by hosting this special takeover at The Mira Hong Kong.

“I have always been known for my classic French cuisine, using only French ingredients. Having spent over a decade in Asia, the exciting cultural diversity opened up my senses to reroute my culinary journey. At Maison Dunand, I chose to introduce something more personal; a cuisine inspired with my travels yet deeply rooted in two most memorable regions in France; Savoie and Brittany. I sincerely look forward to bringing the uniquely distinct taste of the Alps to Hong Kong gourmands on this special occasion — naturally, paired with evian mineral water,” said Chef Dunand.

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.
