Inside the gift basket are such offerings as vintage wines, deluxe dried seafood, homemade XO chili sauce, South African abalones, handmade sweets and more. The highlight, though, may likely be the coconut rice pudding, made from refined black cane sugar to encourage healthier eating habits.&nbsp;

Hamper Time: Treat yourself to these luxurious Chinese New Year hampers

With the results now in for&nbsp;Asia&#8217;s 50 Best Restaurants Awards 2018&nbsp;sponsored by S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna, it seems as though Bangkok-based Gaggan – “a progressive Indian restaurant” – surprised pretty much no-one by taking the top prize for the fourth time in a row. Closer to home, though, competition was a little more intense, with nine eateries jostling to take the Hong Kong Top Nosh Slot…
Number nine on the Hong Kong list (number 46 overall) was Caprice, the Four Seasons’ contemporary French restaurant. Headed by Chef Guillaume Galliot, it beguiled judges with its selection of bold French dishes, including beef-oyster tartare and caviar, crab laksa with confit egg, leeks, coriander, hazelnut and sudachi lime, and roasted pigeon with confit legs, beetroot and port wine sauce. Its award-winning desserts were also acknowledged as enhancing the French experience, with the restaurant’s very own Nicolas Lambert hailed as 2018’s Best Pastry Chef in Asia. (<a href="//www.gafencushop.com/nicolas-lambert-asias-best-pastry-chef/">Read full interview with Chef Nicolas here</a>.)
Standout dish: Beef-oyster tartare and caviar

Ronin, number eight in Hong Kong (number 41 overall), won due to its informal Japanese pub-style appeal, thanks to its twin specialties of seafood and Japanese whiskey. Chef Matt Abergel was particularly commended for a number of his standout dishes, most notably crab shells with crab meat, mitsuba (wild parsley) and iwashi sardine and clams with kimchi, kabu and sake. The drinks selection also won plaudits for its choice of more than 100 Japanese whiskies, not to mention umeshu, shochu and sake.
Standout dish: Flower crab, Hokkaido uni, mitsuba
Belon, led by Chef Daniel Calvert, takes the Hong Kong seven (40) slot. Describing itself as a “dynamic neo-Parisian bistro with an eye on the classics”, Belon impressed with its fusion of local Hong Kong bistro-style French cooking techniques. From an entrée of pork and pistachio terrine with Dijon mustard to a main course of pigeon pithivier with fig and amaretto, the chef sums up the experience as “inherently excellent”. Thankfully, the judges agreed.
Standout dish: Pigeon pithivier with fig and amaretto
Neighborhood, the Hong Kong number six (32), made its debut on the list this year, thanks to its widely-praised French-Italian fare. A new offering from David Lai, that serial restaurateur, Neighborhood is blatantly minimimalist, with the food apparently left to do all the talking. Thankfully its unique combination of flavours, at once delicious and down-to-earth, clearly spoke to the judges. To keep things interesting, Lai is continually changing the menu, with recent highlights including wild boar garganelli, bone marrow and kale risotto, and bouchot mussels in green curry.
Standout dish: Local chicken rice, aged yellow wine sauce
<figure id="attachment_35492" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-35492" style="width: 466px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-35492 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/466x700-Baked-abalone-puff-from-Lung-King-Heen_opt.jpg" alt="" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/466x700-Baked-abalone-puff-from-Lung-King-Heen_opt.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/466x700-Baked-abalone-puff-from-Lung-King-Heen_opt-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/466x700-Baked-abalone-puff-from-Lung-King-Heen_opt-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/466x700-Baked-abalone-puff-from-Lung-King-Heen_opt-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/466x700-Baked-abalone-puff-from-Lung-King-Heen_opt-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-35492" class="wp-caption-text">Baked abalone puff from Lung King Heen</figcaption></figure>
It came as a bit of a shock to the Four Season’s team that its authentic Canto restaurant, Lung King Heen, dropped five places to number 24 overall this year. It can take some comfort, however, from the fact that it is rated as the fifth best place to eat in Hong Kong. This, of course, is largely down to the sterling work of Chef Chan Yan-tak, who continues to provide the very finest Cantonese cuisine, including barbecued suckling pig, braised goose webs with Chinese mushrooms in casserole and crispy scallops with fresh pea.
Standout dishes: Baked whole abalone puff with diced chicken
While Lung King Heen fell this year, another Hong Kong Cantonese restaurant, The Chairman, impressed by rising 25 places to take the number 22 spot overall (number four in Hong Kong). Clearly more than pleased with the restaurant’s performance, owner Danny Yip said: “We didn’t expect anything – we were actually surprised we were on the list again.”
Standout dish: Steamed flowery crab with aged Chinese wine and rice noodles
Ta Vie was another noshery clearly on the up, surging from no. 33 last year, to no. 16 this year, while also being voted into the Hong Kong Top Three. With a name that means ‘your life’ in French and ‘journey’ in Japanese, it’s an apt epithet for an establishment that blends the very best from two countries that, between them, epitomise the finest European and Asian culinary traditions, all under the skillful supervision of Chef Hideaki Sato. Particularly commended here are the homemade pasta with fresh Aonori seaweed sauce and uni and the sweet-corn puffed mousse with shrimp and shrimp jelly.
Standout dish: Civet braised abalone with abalone shell
<figure id="attachment_35494" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-35494" style="width: 700px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-35494 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/700x466-Baby-lamb-from-Aveyron_opt.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/700x466-Baby-lamb-from-Aveyron_opt.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/700x466-Baby-lamb-from-Aveyron_opt-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/700x466-Baby-lamb-from-Aveyron_opt-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/700x466-Baby-lamb-from-Aveyron_opt-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/700x466-Baby-lamb-from-Aveyron_opt-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/700x466-Baby-lamb-from-Aveyron_opt-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/700x466-Baby-lamb-from-Aveyron_opt-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-35494" class="wp-caption-text">Baby lamb from Aveyron</figcaption></figure>
Nobody expects anything but the very best from award-winning chef Umberto Bombana, a man rightly hailed as the King of White Truffles, so it was something of a surprise that his critically-acclaimed three-Michelin star establishment 8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana dropped from fourth place overall last year to 13th this year (number two in Hong Kong). It has rightly won plaudits for a tasting menu that starts with confit abalone carpaccio, continues with black truffle risotto, blue lobster and baby lamb, before concluding with limoncello soufflé, grand cru chocolate five styles or marinated wild strawberries.

Standout dish: Baby lamb from Aveyron, aromatic herbs, black olive, barley and vegetables
While Amber, The Landmark, Mandarin Oriental’s French restaurant, dropped four places this year, down to seventh on the list overall, it is still the most highly-ranked Hong Kong eatery, as well as – for a stunning eighth consecutive year – the best restaurant in China. Revealing the secret of its success, chef-director Richard Ekkebus said: “We are a genuinely collective force, with our best days still ahead of us.” In another claim to fame, Amber’s signature dish – Miyazaki Wagyu beef strip loin with dulse and red cabbage slaw with oxalis, horseradish and pepper berry emulsion – is often cited as the most Instagrammed dish in Hong Kong.

Among Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2018, nine eateries from Hong Kong stood out

Escapism is defined as “the tendency to seek distraction and relief from unpleasant realities, especially by seeking entertainment or engaging in fantasy.”
We are not saying that Christmas is an unpleasant reality, but getting a moment to relax is nothing but a fantasy for most people over the festive period.
The harsh reality is that the holiday season will involve a packed schedule of family engagements and festive parties, with hardly any time to yourself.
However, if you can find the time, Hong Kong is awash with places that allow for a bit of self-indulgence and escapism, such as spas.
Here are four of the best to help you re-energise over the festive period.
Ritz-Carlton Spa
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-14023 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Spa-Couples-Suite.jpg" alt="Spa - Couple's Suite" width="623" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Spa-Couples-Suite.jpg 623w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Spa-Couples-Suite-200x193.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Spa-Couples-Suite-291x280.jpg 291w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Spa-Couples-Suite-400x385.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Spa-Couples-Suite-600x578.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px" />
With views overlooking Victoria Harbour from the 116th floor — making it the world’s highest spa — the Ritz-Carlton Spa is a getaway in the clouds.
Gaze out from the floor-to-ceiling windows as you unwind in one of the nine treatment rooms, including two couples spa suites, or from the indoor infinity swimming pool.
The signature treatments include the Lava Shell Body Treatment which uses heated lava shells to soothe your feet before a full-body massage with aromatic oils and therapeutic strokes.  The Radiance Jade Facial refreshes tired skin using jade stone rollers to ease and rejuvenate the eyes.
Once you’re done being pampered, choose from eight relaxation lounges with separate areas for males and females to destress even more.
Perfect!
Festive promotion: The Velvet Red Carpet Facial uses the Nubo skin care range to redefine facial contours and rehydrate and soften the skin. The festive treatment also includes an arm wrap and a limited-edition Nubo gift set.

Inspired by 1930s Shanghai, and located in a hotel that has been a cornerstone of Hong Kong since the 1960s, the spa at the Mandarin Oriental covers 2,100 square metres over three floors.
Treatments and packages are inspired by traditional Chinese medicine and modern techniques.
For example, the Mandarin Oriental Signature Spa Therapy treatment, which is tailor-made for each guest, was developed by specialists in Chinese medicine and master aromatherapists.
The Mandarin Oriental has three floors with nine treatment rooms, an indoor pool and a fitness centre. It also has a herb steam room, a hydrotherapy Kneipp pool, showers and a dedicated relaxation area.
Christmas promotion: Guests who book treatments on 24, 25 and 26 December will receive a voucher for a 30-minute treatment upgrade upon their next reservation (blackout dates and terms &amp; conditions apply).
To book a treatment, email <a href="mailto:mohkg-spa@mohg.com">mohkg-spa@mohg.com</a> or call 2825 4888.

Just like the Ritz-Carlton, the Four Seasons Spa has sweeping views of Victoria Harbour from its treatment rooms. It is also a giant space, covering just under 2,100 metres with 17 treatment rooms. So reserving a space should be easy!
The spa epitomises elegant escapism, which is embodied in a number of treatments, including the Be Present Day of Beauty package. The package is a full body scrub utilising aromatic ginger, cinnamon, clove and salt. A lymphatic massage and the application of a warm herbal poultice work to release tension, purify and tone the body. This is followed by a traditional Ayurvedic treatment.
The pampering continues in the Nail Bar with an Expresso Manicure and Pedicure. Finally, you will enjoy an al fresco lunch at the pool terrace overlooking Victoria Harbour.
Outside of the treatment rooms, the spa features an amethyst crystal steam room, sauna, ice fountain, chi-water jacuzzi, relaxation lounge and experience shower.

W Bliss Spa

The W brands itself as a trendy hotel aimed at the more modern traveller. The spa complements this with treatments called Peeling Groovy, Fatgirlslim, Head Over Peels and Triple Oxygen Treatment, which are clearly aimed at a younger spa-goer.
The Fatgirlslim package uses dry brushing to apply essential oil, a rubberising mask on cellulite-prone rear and thigh areas, a heated wrap and a rubdown with formulas.
Visitors can put the stress of Christmas behind them with a facial, body scrub or massage in one of nine treatment rooms, including two VIP doubles.
Bliss also offers a jacuzzi, sauna, steam rooms and the highest pool in Hong Kong.
If you’re feeling a bit peckish after your spa, then treat yourself to a chocolate from the brownie bar.
Bliss spa is smaller than the other options on the list, but sometimes the best things come in smaller packages!
To book a treatment, call 3717 2222.
