Haley’s Pick: Wingman

When our Managing Director Haley craves something delightfully unhealthy, she heads straight to Wingman for its unlimited wings deals. Hailed as one of the best chicken wing specialists, Wingman has been perfecting its craft for over six years. With a menu boasting over 15 flavours – from classics like Ranch, Buffalo and Cali Style to unique local twists such as Singaporean Zing, Indian Tandoori Chicken and Caribbean Jerk – there’s a wing for every taste bud. The free-flow wings deal lets you feast like royalty starting at just $138 on weekdays or $148 on weekends for three flavours. It’s the perfect excuse to gather your crew for a wing feast that’s sure to lead to a food coma and unforgettable memories (may result in excessive wing consumption and spontaneous clucking).

Elly’s Pick: Meet Fresh

When our Office Manager Elly craves a sweet escape, she takes her family to Meet Fresh, a Taiwanese dessert spot specialising in handmade treats like chewy taro balls, silky grass jelly and shaved ice. Despite its seemingly healthy name, this place is a sugar haven that promises to satisfy the sweetest of cravings (and might just be the reason for a post-dessert nap). Elly loves that each bite offers an authentic taste of Taiwan, making it her go-to spot for a sugary splurge.

Nicole’s Pick: Kam Wah Cafe

Our Executive Editor Nicole swears by Kam Wah Cafe for her weekend indulgence, and it’s not just about the famous pineapple buns and egg tarts (though they are worth a mention). Whenever she’s wandering through the Flower Market in Prince Edward, the siren call of Kam Wah’s Hong Kong-style French toast is irresistible. Imagine a deep-fried masterpiece slathered in butter and stuffed with gooey peanut butter. Sinful? Absolutely. Worth every calorie? You bet! At just $22, this artery-clogger is Nicole’s ultimate cheat day treat.

Fashila’s Pick: am.pm

If you’re a fan of fluffy soufflé pancakes, our Editor Fashila has just the spot for you: am.pm! This dessert destination is famous for its jiggly soufflé pancakes, caramelised pudding toasts and soft serves that’ll have you drooling. After an intense shopping spree in Mong Kok, head over to am.pm for a sweet pick-me-up. Trust Fashila – one bite of its ice cream-topped soufflé pancakes, and you’ll be hooked (and probably planning your next visit). If you want to indulge without too much guilt, bring a friend along to share its crème brûlée soufflé pancake –though let’s be honest, you might not want to share!

Catherine’s Pick: Flat Iron Burger

Even though I’m technically the Style Editor, I have a confession to make: I’m a huge burger and milkshake fan. Whenever I need a burger fix, I head straight to Flat Iron Burger for its $148 lunch deal. The set includes a burger, fries and a concrete shake that’s guaranteed to leave you stuffed and possibly worrying about your next medical check-up. My top picks are the Flat Iron Deluxe and Buffalo Bill, as well as the Portuguese egg tart shake, which comes with an actual egg tart on top. Yes, you read that right – a whole egg tart!

Veena’s Pick: Sweeties’ Dessert

Our Editorial Assistant, Veena, has a sweet spot (pun intended) for Sweeties’ Dessert in Sai Ying Pun. This charming eatery has been a staple for generations, evolving from a traditional Hong Kong dessert shop to a modern yet nostalgic haven. Veena swears by its Bread & Butter Pudding and Chocolate Fondant, both served with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. When she’s feeling extra indulgent or has a partner-in-crime, she goes for the Trio Dessert, which includes chocolate lava cake, apple crumble and mango custard tart. Talk about a dessert dream team!

Emily’s Pick: Porker

Our Partnerships Manager, Emily, has a guilty pleasure: Porker. She used to visit all the time when she was pregnant, drawn by its crispy, juicy tonkatsu served with a side of curry sauce. Specialising in Japanese deep-fried breaded pork cutlets made from aged Kagoshima pork, Porker’s Sirloin Cutlet Curry Rice is a comfort food masterpiece. If you’re ever in Central, don’t miss out on this succulent delight that will leave you feeling oh-so-satisfied!

Helena’s Pick: Triple O’s

As someone who used to live in Canada, our Marketing Manager, Helena, is a true Triple O’s fan. While it’s not quite the same as the one in Vancouver, it still hits the spot. Helena’s usual order is the mushroom burger, a choice that aligns perfectly with her background as a nutritionist. Who knew even nutritionists had their cheat days? For maximum enjoyment, she always asks for an extra serving of the signature sauce. You don’t even need sides or a shake – just that perfectly wrapped burger.

Grace’s Pick: Bing Kee Cha Dong

Grace, our Multimedia Designer and Tai Hang expert, swears by Bing Kee Cha Dong as her go-to cute date spot. This small but mighty open-air food stall is famed for its deep-fried pork chop noodles, attracting both local workers and young hipsters alike. Grace and her boyfriend have their favourites: he digs into the toast with pork chop, cheese and eggs, while she indulges in the whole wheat raisin toast with peanut butter and condensed milk (not on the menu, but worth the ask). Together, they share the toast with eggs and spam for that extra indulgence.
