Champion chomps

Hello,

Awards season is well and truly underway. Following hot on the heels of the Michelin Guide's unveiling of the starred restaurants in Hong Kong and Macau, Asia's 50 Best Restaurants has named the dining establishments that made its list in 2024 in a lavish ceremony that took place last night in Seoul. Find out which restaurant led by an ex-Hong Kong-based chef has been crowned the champion in the revered ranking.

Also this week, we catch up with the new head chef of Hansik Goo, take a first look at the newest addition to Black Sheep's restaurant portfolio, and go behind the scenes in the making of a book on ramen.
