I'm probably biased, but Australian chefs are taking over the world!
It seems that every day, a new Aussie chef is hitting Honkers to open a new restaurant or join part of an established team.
This invasion, of a sort, arguably started when Perth born chef Shane Osborne, moved from the UK to Hong Kong to establish his own take on a simple yet delicious fare. Having achieved two Michelin Stars at well known London restaurant Pied-a-Terre, Osborne threw it all in to travel for a while, before ending up at HK restaurant St Betties. Turning the fortunes of the under performing restaurant around, Osborne eventually developed his own restaurant in Central.
Arcane
"Understood by few" and "mysterious and secret"
An interesting name for a restaurant from a Chef that had run one of the world's top restaurants, perhaps hoping for anonymity in Hong Kong?
We arrived for our 7pm reservation and unsurprisingly, we were the first to arrive, seemingly the only couple in Hong Kong that think dining at this hour is normal. Located near LKF, we had no trouble finding the restaurant and were so early, LKF was actually really, really quiet!
