Amazing Father’s Day Gifts In Hong Kong!
Every dad loves a Sunday roast. There is nothing better than a GRAIN father’s day Sunday treat. Each week, the chef cooks up roast meats served with crispy roasted potatoes, grilled courgettes, creamy sweetcorn, slow-roasted bell peppers, and Yorkshire puds. The open kitchen provides a fun focus as you watch the culinary team add some theatre to dining. GRAIN is located on the Kennedy Town waterfront and is the only dining venue in Hong Kong to house a working brewery on-site, so if dad enjoys craft beer, he'll love your choice. They also offer workshops and beer tasting sessions if you are short of a gift idea.
