10 new places to try in May

May’s Menu: Heat, Harmony, and Hybrid Bites

We begin with a blaze: North Point’s Sichuan Verandah, where a "Spice Challenge" card puts the heat squarely in your hands. From baby spice to daredevil, it’s a customisable inferno with harbour views. Then, Causeway Bay’s Amalgamate rewires fusion thinking, blending East and West into a tasting menu that feels less like a collision and more like a conversation.

This May, don’t choose between loud and quiet, old and new, East and West. Build your perfect plate—one review at a time.
