The Interconti is perched right on the harbour’s edge so many of the guest rooms have fantastic views as well as the Harbourside restaurant and Nobu if you can bag a window table. Both restaurants are offering a Chinese New Year Fireworks Dinner Menu.

Model Cooks

World's Best Female Chef Helena Rizzo

Food and models are not an obvious pairing. Rather than going together like crispy duck and plum sauce, the modelling industry is more likely to make you think of faddy diets or eating disorders. Yet these rarefied sylphs are moving from the catwalk to the kitchen.

What’s in a (restaurant) name?

When an email called Sexy Fish dropped into Chopstix’s mail box we must admit to reaching for the delete button. Then we noticed that it was a new eatery from Caprice Holdings, those masters of the restaurant scene in London. The moniker is being scoffed at but let’s not be too harsh, choosing a name may be the most difficult task a restaurant owner faces. The eponymous name above the door aside, names are a minefield. An unpronounceable appellation can be the kiss of death since no one wants to embarrass themselves by getting it wrong and so never discusses it let alone books it.

We all scream for ice cream!

One of the new ice cream sundaes at the Four Seasons Hong Kong

Give yourself a Fourth of July treat by popping along to the Four Seasons’ Lounge and trying its new ice cream sundae menu. There are five to choose from including black cherry, vanilla chantilly cream and cookie; and marinated strawberies with mint ice cream and churros. Luckily the sundaes are available from now until September 30th which should see you through the humid summer.

And for more Independence Day ices, head over to the Intercontinental for the “burger cake”. This dessert on the Steak House menu looks like a giant hamburger but is actually made of layers of sponge cake with chocolate, vanilla and pistachio ice cream. Served with a side of “fries” which are actually doughnuts and “ketchup” (strawberry jam) to dip into. Yankee doodle do!
