Chef William Lau formerly of Arbor, creates a humble yet expertly crafted rotating menu, promising a unique culinary experience on almost every visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe see so many of these fine-dining restaurants clustered within Central, so having the same experience from such a young, talented chef from those restaurants to bring that experience to Kowloon is I hope the start to opening up a very regionally-split industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe detail in the dishes is unbelievable\u201d Kieran says while referencing the 50+ layers of the Mille-feuille style cabbage in one of the dishes. \u201cThe service is absolutely second to none, and makes for a truly enjoyable and memorable experience\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Little Bao also features high on his list. Best known for its fluffy Taiwanese mantau \u201cbao\u201d bun burgers, Little Bao grew to international prominence under founder May Chow, who was crowned Asia\u2019s Best Female Chef in 2017. \u201cThere is never a dull second at Little Bao. May Chow is such an industry trailblazer who never stops innovating and creating exciting dishes and experiences\u201d says Kieran in regards to Little Bao\u2019s new event series The Baodown, which welcomes a guest chef to the Little Bao kitchen each time to create new and exciting limited-time fusion dishes. The event series previously welcomed Chef Richard Ekkebus of Amber and more recently, Chef Manav Tuli of Chaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-2.jpg\" class=\"td-modal-image\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"990\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-2.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-2-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-2-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-2-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-2-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-2-600x424.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-2-696x492.jpg 696w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-2-1392x984.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-2-1068x755.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-2-594x420.jpg 594w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-2-1188x840.jpg 1188w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><figcaption>Cupping Room<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1.jpg\" class=\"td-modal-image\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35078\" width=\"350\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1-1392x2088.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1-1068x1602.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kieran-Gibb-photo-1-560x840.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><figcaption>Kieran and his partner Alexandra Leung<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLittle Bao is a special place. It has developed such a strong community around it in the arts, LGBT, and foodie spaces that holds an important place for many people that has allowed it to become such a recognisable brand for so many.\u201d adds Kieran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While coffee is a day-starting staple for so many, and having a good go-to even for when you\u2019re travelling is an absolute must. Cupping Room has seen tremendous growth over the past two or three years, and their newest at the Palace Museum is a must-visit. After a cultural tour of the iconic museum, Kieran recommends Cupping Room for its signature blend \u201cAttaboy\u201d, which he claims has the perfect balance of flavours with a warm and satisfying aftertaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s refreshing to see new restaurants being built after many favourite dining spots succumbed to the harsh economic climate as a result of the pandemic.&nbsp; Kieran and his partner Alexandra Leung built Monogic to help restaurants up their game during a challenging period.&nbsp;&nbsp; By combining their industry and marketing knowledge to create campaigns and strategies that are creative, data-oriented, and understand the customer journey, Kieran and Alexandra have successfully helped their clients not just survive but thrive in a competitive city like Hong Kong. The couple predicts the next few years are going to be the largest in terms of growth, with the city gradually reducing restrictions and welcoming back tourism, as well as restoring the public&#8217;s
