In the Netflix hit Emily in Paris, Lucas Bravo captivates audiences as Gabriel, a charismatic French chef whose passion for food and romance is undeniable. Lucas has traded the streets of Paris for the diverse culinary scene of Hong Kong, inviting you to join him on a magical date filled with delightful dishes and unforgettable moments. Bon appétit!
Love at first taste begins at the renowned Luk Yu Teahouse, where the air is filled with the tantalising aroma of authentic dim sum. This cherished Cantonese staple has endless variations and usually consists of wrapped vegetables or meat that is steamed, baked, deep-fried or pan-fried. As Lucas savours classic dim sum, each bite – an egg tart, shrimp dumpling, or siu mai – embodies the translation of 'touch your heart,' deepening the attachment to Hong Kong.
Next, join Lucas at Mora, a French-Chinese restaurant known for its innovative use of soy. This tasting journey with tofu showcases how traditional ingredients are reimagined, reflecting Hong Kong’s vibrant culinary culture and rich heritage.
Follow Lucas through the streets of Hong Kong, admiring its unique blend of tradition and modernity, and fusion of East meets West. With every corner bringing a new surprise, feel drawn in by the irresistible scent of street food. Relishing in egg waffles complemented by the legendary Hong Kong-style milk tea from Lan Fong Yuen, it’s the perfect afternoon treat.
As night falls, accompany Lucas to The Mixing Room by Iron Fairies, a chic bar popular for its creative cocktails and whimsical interior of butterflies and fairy figurines. Sipping artisanal drinks, immerse in the captivating energy of Hong Kong’s nightlife, where the intimate ambience fosters connection in the moment.
To conclude this enchanting evening, set off with Lucas on a sampan ride across the shimmering waters of Victoria Harbour, adorned by the iconic skyline. As the city lights sparkle like stars above, dive into a gourmet seafood feast featuring the daily catch. For those seeking a touch of magic and romance, Hong Kong promises unforgettable encounters, where every meal invites you to explore, savour and connect.
