4th June 2022 – (Hong Kong) Le Meridien Hong Kong is set to reopen after a major revamp beginning with its four restaurants and bar in May this year.
Nam Fong Cantonese restaurant was open on Friday, 20th May. Serving creative Cantonese cuisine that will surprise diners with traditional tastes presented with creativity, the elegant restaurant is led by award-winning chef, Bosco Li. Li and his talented team will be transforming fresh local ingredients and traditional crafted recipes into truly outstanding Cantonese dishes. Nam Fong’s signature specialties will include refined dim sum such as Nam Fong Steamed Shrimp Dumpling, Steamed Spotted Grouper Dumpling in Pickled Mustard Green Sauce, and Deep-fried Assorted Mushroom Glutinous Dumplings, Carrot, Chinese Celery, succulent and umami rich Maple Wood Smoked Soy Sauce Yellow Chicken, Sweet and Sour Iberico Pork with Fresh Figs and Pineapple, and the exceptional Poached Spotted Grouper in Pickled Mustard Green Soup with Bean Sprouts, Coriander, Sesame, Sichuan Peppercorn and Black Fungus.
Not to be missed is the surf clam clear soup with flaky turnip puff. The crunchy turnip puff goes perfectly well with the flavourful seafood soup. One of our favourites is the grilled Tilefish with thick seafood soup and bitter melon. Needless to say, the concoction of flavours simply explode in your mouth. The grilled Tilefish with its crunchy skin fuses in unison with the soup.
For dessert, don’t miss out the chilled sago cream soup with fresh fig, pomelo and crispy 3.6 Hokkaido milk toast with dried raspberry and popping candy, a definitely sophisticated and mind-blowing experience to end your meal.
Japanese Izakaya, Umami opened on Friday, 27th May and it serves traditional Japanese favourites, with jet-fresh seafood all imported from Japan, and signatures such as Grilled Amadai in Housemade Sauces with Mashed Lily, and Japanese Kagoshima Wagyu Sukiyaki.

Meanwhile, Latitude 22, the versatile signature bar and lounge within the iconic Le Méridien Hub, changes décor and ambiance as the day goes by. It was also opened on 27th May to the grand public. During the day it is an engaging coffeehouse, with tempting cakes such as the Rose, Raspberry & Lychee Macaron and the Original 30% White Chocolate Unshu Mikan & Green Tea Crumble Tart, pastries and coffee made by certified master baristas.
