2. Men-ya New Old
Cool down with the hottest noodle trend in Japan this summer: kombusui tsukemen features springy noodles to be dipped in a sea kelp broth (kombu means kelp, while sui means water in Japanese) that has a slightly sticky texture thanks to the seaweed.
It is the signature offering at Men-ya New Old, newly opened by the team behind familiar noodle joints Zagin Soba and Maru de Sankaku nearby.
9 Gough Street, Central
3. Pachinko season 2
As the season unfolds, the family must contend with cataclysmic events such as the dropping of the atomic bomb that devastates Nagasaki and, later, the Korean war.
The show represents the very best in top-tier melodrama, a beautifully realised epic of hardship and heartbreak that speaks to audiences of every creed and colour regardless of where they came from or where they live now.
4. Chantecaille Cheetah Collection
Luxury skincare and cosmetics brand Chantecaille has long followed a “beauty with impact” ethos with its botanically powered, cruelty-free and vegan-friendly products.
Its new Cheetah Collection supports the Namibia-based Cheetah Conservation Fund and its work rescuing and rehabilitating cheetah cubs in southwest Africa.
We love the limited-edition Cheetah Collection Eye Trio (HK$690/US$89) that features eye shadow in three earthy shades with pearl and matte finishes.
Available at Chantecaille outlets citywide including Star House, 3 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui and Lane Crawford
