It hasn&#8217;t been that long since our last visit to <a href="//www.gafencushop.com/fang-fang/">Fang Fang</a>, the maverickly modern Asian restaurant nestled in the bustling Lan Kwai Fong District. But in keeping with Hong Kong&#8217;s mercurial nature, Executive Chef Wong Tai Po has already wrought a major change to the fine dining establishment&#8217;s expansive menu in the form of an all-new Saturday Asian Fiesta Brunch selection.
<figure id="attachment_40029" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-40029" style="width: 700px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-40029 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Salt-Pepper-Tofu.jpg" alt="Salt &amp; Pepper Tofu" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Salt-Pepper-Tofu.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Salt-Pepper-Tofu-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Salt-Pepper-Tofu-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Salt-Pepper-Tofu-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Salt-Pepper-Tofu-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Salt-Pepper-Tofu-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Salt-Pepper-Tofu-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-40029" class="wp-caption-text">Salt &amp; Pepper Tofu</figcaption></figure>
This latest culinary experience kicks off with welcome snacks in the form of salted edamame and prawn crackers, followed by an assortment of tapas-style small sharing plates. The highlights here include the crispy yet smooth Salt &amp; Pepper Tofu and the Miso Grilled Eggplant, a seemingly-simple dish that packs a serious umami-flavoured punch.
<figure id="attachment_40026" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-40026" style="width: 700px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-40026 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Honey-Grilled-Seabass.jpg" alt="Honey Grilled Seabass" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Honey-Grilled-Seabass.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Honey-Grilled-Seabass-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Honey-Grilled-Seabass-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Honey-Grilled-Seabass-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Honey-Grilled-Seabass-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Honey-Grilled-Seabass-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Honey-Grilled-Seabass-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-40026" class="wp-caption-text">Honey Grilled Seabass</figcaption></figure>
Next, each diner can choose one of a series of main courses – all fan favourites from the regular a la carte menu. Seafood aficionados should definitely not miss out on the Honey Grilled Seabass, a miso-glazed seabass steak that literally melts in your mouth. Those looking for a little spice kick will love the Spicy Popcorn Chicken, a unique blend of actual caramel popcorn kernels and tender Sichuan pepper-spiced chicken morsels. Aromatic Duck, a modern interpretation of Peking duck, is another standout choice.

Fang Fang unveils new Saturday Asian Fiesta Brunch

While Lan Kwai Fong was once solely renowned for its countless drinking establishments and late-night entertainment haunts, spots where Hongkongers hit the hard stuff until well into the early hours of the morning, a change has surely come. Today – though it seems heresy to say – good grub is as much on the agenda of the LKF-bound as devil-may-care drink downing.

Among the new generation of upmarket eateries to be found within LKF is Fang Fang, a permanently packed pan-Asian restaurant that certainly pushes the boundaries of contemporary cuisine. Opened just over a year ago, this thoroughly modern meal machine is headed by Executive Chef Wong Tai Po, a 14-year veteran of a number of London’s leading Asian fine dining establishments, as well as several of the best restaurants that Monaco, Switzerland and France have to offer.

As if emphasising that he is bringing all his considerable experience to bear at Fang Fang, Wong’s menu reads like a mad dash across North Asia, taking in Hong Kong, China and a fair proportion of Japan. Outlining his strategy, he says: “You’ll find everything here – from dim sum and sushi to wok-fried dishes. In addition to using only the freshest ingredients, we also place a heavy premium on delivering a colourful, energetic presentation that allows each dish to tell its own story.”
<figure id="attachment_39570" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-39570" style="width: 700px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-39570 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hokkaido-Scallop-Ceviche.jpg" alt="Hokkaido Scallop Ceviche" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hokkaido-Scallop-Ceviche.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hokkaido-Scallop-Ceviche-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hokkaido-Scallop-Ceviche-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hokkaido-Scallop-Ceviche-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hokkaido-Scallop-Ceviche-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hokkaido-Scallop-Ceviche-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hokkaido-Scallop-Ceviche-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-39570" class="wp-caption-text">Hokkaido Scallop Ceviche</figcaption></figure>
Keen to experience Wong’s culinary storytelling first hand, we tucked into our first appetiser – a colourful Hokkaido Scallop Ceviche served with watermelon pickle, watermelon foam, sliced red onions and cherry tomatoes. And, fair play to him, this initial serving alone was an apt testament to his ability to deconstruct expectations and traditional dishes alike, with this particular plate proving an amazing amalgam of soup and salad. The refreshing tartness of the watermelon and lime juice, cut by the sweet watermelon, was just the perfect foil for the deliciously smooth morsels of scallop sashimi.
Next to test our taste buds was the second appetiser – Chilean Sea Bass Kataifi. The presentation of the dish is an unashamed show-stopper, largely on account of the semi-fluorescent pink hues of the beetroot yoghurt sauce and the bright orange spicy mayonnaise that rest at the bottom of the plate.

Proving that you should never judge a cook book by its cover, the very first bite uncovered a surprisingly subtle flavour profile. While the sea bass was cooked to perfection, it was the kataifi – a shredded pastry of Greco-Lebanese origin – that delivered the most memorable mouthfuls.
Wong then opted to highlight his prowess in delivering more traditional fare with his Kuromitsu Buta Kakuni – braised pork belly encased enticingly in a flavour-packed sauce blended from Japanese black honey and Japanese vinegar. Each cubed meaty morsel sat atop a lettuce leaf, lightening the pork’s richness while also allowing us to unashamedly dig in, fingers first.

Plate well and truly cleared, it was back to Fang Fang’s signature modern fusion flair with Spicy Popcorn Chicken. Its name proved doubly apt – not only are the tender pieces of chicken thigh proportionately bite-sized, but the chef has also added homemade caramel popcorns to this Sichuanese-derived dish. It proved an inspired move, with the sugary kernels serving to keep the dish’s high spice levels at bay, while also restricting the taste bud-numbing effects of the ma la spice to an acceptable minimum. That said, if you’re not a fan of spicy food, perhaps best give this one a miss.
<figure id="attachment_39565" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-39565" style="width: 700px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-39565 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Beef-Short-Ribs.jpg" alt="Beef Short Ribs" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Beef-Short-Ribs.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Beef-Short-Ribs-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Beef-Short-Ribs-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Beef-Short-Ribs-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Beef-Short-Ribs-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Beef-Short-Ribs-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Beef-Short-Ribs-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-39565" class="wp-caption-text">Beef Short Ribs</figcaption></figure>
After plating colourful sauces and deconstructed dishes, Wong chose a surprisingly unadorned item for his grand finale. The focus of the simply-monikered Beef Short Ribs rests squarely on the perfectly cooked slow-cooked beef – a task that apparently requires more than twelve hours of precision preparation in a sous vide system – with the accompanying slivers of deep-fried lemongrass and lemongrass gravy serving only to heighten its melt-in-your-mouth memorableness.
From neon-hued sauces to hybrid soup-salads, Fang Fang disrupts the traditionally accepted notions of exactly what Asian food should look and taste like, while still offering the very best flavours for which its chosen regional cuisines are rightly famed for. It’s a challenging balancing act, but one that Wong pulls off superbly and seemingly with little sweat.

Fang Fang serves maverickly modern Asian cuisine

New Fangled: Fang Fang puts a maverickly modern twist on Asian cuisine

Singapore’s very own pioneering cocktail bar, the famous Tippling Club, is all set to take over Fang Fang, one of Hong Kong’s trendiest restobars (<a href="//www.gafencushop.com/fang-fang-review/">read our review here</a>). Only for one night, on 29 August, Tippling Club will serve its signature edible cocktail menu, enigmatically titled “Dreams &amp; Desires” at the popular LKF eatery.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-38027" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Untitled-design-1-9.jpg" alt="Tippling Club" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Untitled-design-1-9.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Untitled-design-1-9-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Untitled-design-1-9-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Untitled-design-1-9-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Untitled-design-1-9-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Untitled-design-1-9-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Untitled-design-1-9-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Founded by British chef Ryan Clift, Tippling Club has been leading Singapore’s cocktail revolution since it first opened in Tanjong Pagar; and has even made it to the World’s 50 Best Bars list in 2017 and Asia’s 50 Best Bars list this year.
No surprise then that, Hongkongers will be in for a rare treat when Tippling Club’s mixologist Jon Lee flies in from Singapore to especially curate this cocktail selection at Fang Fang.

Inspired by gummy bears, the Dreams &amp; Desires menu features four signature drinks – Happiness, a blend of tequila, yuzu, honey, orange flower water, matched with lemon and honey gummy bear; Lust, a fusion of champagne, peach, cocoa, tonka bean, matched with a Coco Chanel perfume-flavoured gummy bear; Indulgence, with strawberry, bourbon and Peychaud’s bitters, with a chocolate and strawberry gummy bear; and Super Car, a blend of gin, truffle, chardonnay and lemon juice, matched with a petrol-, leather- and metal-flavoured gummy.
To set the mood for the night, DJ Kenzo Yeo of The Lucid Loft – part of an underground music movement – will pair soft, smooth beats with the cocktails to create a multisensory experience in this special “Music x Mixology” takeover.

Singapore’s Tippling Club to take over Fang Fang on 29 August

Though Fang Fang is located at the heart of Hong Kong’s favourite party hotspot, Lan Kwai Fong, the restaurant is a far cry from the run-of-the-mill restobars that dot the streets of LKF by dozens. Offering the choicest of Chinese cuisine within plush interiors, complete with live music, Fang Fang mixes the best of fine-dining with upbeat party vibes.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-34246 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466_Dim-Sum-Assortment-at-Fang-Fang_opt.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466_Dim-Sum-Assortment-at-Fang-Fang_opt.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466_Dim-Sum-Assortment-at-Fang-Fang_opt-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466_Dim-Sum-Assortment-at-Fang-Fang_opt-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466_Dim-Sum-Assortment-at-Fang-Fang_opt-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466_Dim-Sum-Assortment-at-Fang-Fang_opt-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466_Dim-Sum-Assortment-at-Fang-Fang_opt-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466_Dim-Sum-Assortment-at-Fang-Fang_opt-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
As you step out of the elevator on the 8th floor of LKF Tower, the beautiful – though a tad dimly lit – interiors set the perfect mood for a luxurious and leisurely experience. The feeling is only heightened with a first glance at the menu. Helmed by Head Chef Kent Lee, former executive chef of Hakkasan, Fang Fang taps into China’s classic recipes and gives them a modern twist. The result is a sumptuous blend of Chinese modernity and tradition, while embracing influences from surrounding regions.
<figure id="attachment_34228" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-34228" style="width: 466px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-34228" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Posh-Duck-Salad.jpg" alt="Fang Fang" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Posh-Duck-Salad.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Posh-Duck-Salad-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Posh-Duck-Salad-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Posh-Duck-Salad-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Posh-Duck-Salad-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-34228" class="wp-caption-text">Posh Duck Salad</figcaption></figure>
We were particularly impressed by the assorted Dim Sum Platter, which is part of their new dim sum menu that’s available throughout lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. The Soft Shell Crab with Five Spices is also a crowd favourite, and it’s easy to understand why, given its sheer ‘devil-may-care’ decadence. For the more health-conscious though, there’s the Crispy Duck Salad with pomelo, pine nuts, plum dressing and a generous dose of truffle oil. We could spend hours raving about this particular dish, but we’ll just let you judge for yourselves…
<figure id="attachment_34229" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-34229" style="width: 466px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-34229" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Jasmine-Tea-Smoked-Ribs.jpg" alt="Fang Fang" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Jasmine-Tea-Smoked-Ribs.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Jasmine-Tea-Smoked-Ribs-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Jasmine-Tea-Smoked-Ribs-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Jasmine-Tea-Smoked-Ribs-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Jasmine-Tea-Smoked-Ribs-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-34229" class="wp-caption-text">Jasmine Tea Smoked Ribs</figcaption></figure>
Moving on, the mains that made a lasting impression were the Jasmine Tea Smoked Ribs and the Forest Honey Grill Chilean Seabass, both interesting reinventions of classic Chinese fares. Kudos to the chef for taking a risk and pulling it off!
Some of the other mains that we tried, such as Vegetarian Gailan and Spicy Fried Rice, were more akin to ‘no-frills-added’ comfort food.
<figure id="attachment_34230" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-34230" style="width: 466px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-34230" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Forest-Honey-Grill-Chilean-Seabass.jpg" alt="Fang Fang" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Forest-Honey-Grill-Chilean-Seabass.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Forest-Honey-Grill-Chilean-Seabass-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Forest-Honey-Grill-Chilean-Seabass-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Forest-Honey-Grill-Chilean-Seabass-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Forest-Honey-Grill-Chilean-Seabass-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-34230" class="wp-caption-text">Forest Honey Grill Chilean Seabass</figcaption></figure>
Though generally not big dessert fans, we were tempted to try the Ginger Crème Brulee on the staff’s recommendation, and we are so glad we did! Just mildly sweet with a hint of refreshing ginger, it was a perfect culmination to a very satisfying meal. For warmer climes, however, we’d suggest choosing from the selection of ice creams and sorbets.
For those looking to indulge in a tipple or two, Fang Fang also boasts a well-stocked bar to match its hearty food menu. Do try their newly launched Ikebana Cocktails, specially curated by Bar Manager Gagan Gurung, who is known for experimenting with Oriental flavours. Judging from the packed bar on a typical Friday night, it’s safe to assume his experiments are a roaring success. Add to that the soulful live music by jazz singer Wendy Robin and you have a space that comes to life every night! Be sure to reserve a table.
