The coronavirus and its impact on the food and drink scene around the world is old news at this point, yet among the doom and gloom are some promising stories of reinvention. Among them is Hungry Pal, a gastrobar now soft opening on Lower Elgin Street and founded on the friendship between three industry veterans who decided to strike out on their own.
Styling itself as an elevated dive bar , the institution is the brainchild of Bikal Ghale, Ashok Lama and Ganga Gurung, all of whom cut their teeth both front and back of house at restaurants like Carbone, Veda and Buenos Aires Polo Club. The concept takes after American dining tradition of the early 20th century, although the food menu itself is hearty and decidedly international: highlights include a kingfish crudo with citrus and wasabi, grilled octopus with romesco, squash and mixed cress, and Caprese salad with burrata, heirloom tomatoes and yuzu pearls.
In a pioneering initiative, three iconic Hong Kong brands Black Sheep Restaurants,
Tatler and Prenetics are together “writing the new rules of hospitality” by providing rapid, on-the-door testing for guests attending New Year’s Eve events.
Voluntary testing, which is included in the ticket price, will be provided before guests gain entry to the three Black Sheep Restaurant establishments, including Carbone, Crown Super Deluxe and Buenos Aires Polo Club. To enable worry-free celebrations among family and friends during the remaining hours of 2020, Black Sheep Restaurants and Tatler are partnering with Prenetics co-founder Danny Yeung,
Tatler’s December cover star, whose fast and accurate Covid-19 test, developed by Oxford University, is paving the way for activities like travel and large events to be possible once more. To ensure the events are as safe as possible, all staff will undergo mandatory testing, with voluntary testing available for guests between 12pm and 1pm.
