1. 公寓遊戲 (APT)

「公寓遊戲」是韓國非常流行的國民酒game,最近因為Rosé與Bruno Mars合作的歌曲《APT.》而再度風靡全球 。這個遊戲玩法簡單,不需任何道具,而且無論人多人少都適合玩 。​

玩法:

所有人圍圈坐,一邊用手做出上下拍打的動作,一邊齊聲有節奏地喊四次「A-PA-TEU」(公寓的韓文發音)。

接着,其中一位玩家擔任莊家,隨意喊出一個數字,例如「5」,這個數字代表目標樓層。

所有人立即將手交疊起來,形成一座「公寓」。

由最底層的手開始,每將一隻手抽到最頂層,就數一個數,由1開始。

當數到莊家喊出的目標數字(例如「5」)時,該玩家的手所對應的人就要罰飲一杯 。​


2. 鐵達尼號 (Titanic)

這是一款經典酒game「深水炸彈」的變奏版,玩法同樣緊張刺激,考驗玩家的手眼協調和運氣,非常適合在派對上炒熱氣氛 。​

玩法:

在一個大的啤酒杯中倒入約三分之二的啤酒。

然後將一個空的燒酒杯 (shot glass) 小心地放進啤酒杯中,讓它浮在啤酒上。

玩家輪流將自己杯中的酒(任何酒都可以)倒入浮着的燒酒杯中,份量隨意。

誰在倒酒時不小心讓燒酒杯下沉,誰就是輸家,需要將整杯混合了的「深水炸彈」喝掉 。​

這是一個極度考驗反應力的遊戲,節奏明快,一不留神就會成為被罰的對象,過程中充滿了互相陷害的樂趣 。​

玩法:

由第一位玩家開始喊「0」,並用手指向任何一位玩家。

被指到的玩家要接着喊「0」,並再指向下一位玩家。

第三位被指到的玩家則要喊「7」,同時用手做出開槍的動作,指向場內任何一個人。

被「射中」的玩家不需要做任何動作,但他左右兩邊的玩家必須立即舉高雙手,並大喊「啊!」。

任何一個環節出錯的人(例如反應慢了、做錯動作或喊錯口號)就要罰飲一杯 。​


4. Flip Cup (翻轉杯)

Flip Cup是外國派對的經典遊戲,講求速度和團隊合作,最適合分隊競賽,能瞬間燃起全場的勝負慾和團隊精神 。​

玩法:

玩家分成兩隊,在長桌兩旁站立。

每位玩家面前放一杯裝有等量啤酒的膠杯。

遊戲開始後,每隊的第一位玩家要鬥快將杯中的酒喝完,然後將空杯放在桌邊,用一根手指將杯底彈起,直至杯子成功反轉並以杯口朝下的方式穩妥地立在桌上。

完成後,下一位隊友才能開始重複同樣的動作。

最快完成所有隊員接力的隊伍勝出,輸掉的隊伍需要接受懲罰 。​

訂聖誕到會貼士

聖誕檔期一向好旺場,建議至少提前兩至三星期預訂,到會公司亦常會推出早鳥優惠和聖誕限定套餐,愈早落單選擇愈多。 下單前記得先確認人數、大概男女比例及有沒有素食者/忌口人士,再按比例分配主食、冷盤、小食、甜品和非酒精飲品,避免只顧酒game而忽略填肚位。可以預多約一成份量作「安全buffer」,特別是公司或朋友帶同伴出現時就不怕食物不夠。另要留意送達時間、保溫設備、餐具及枱布是否包含在套餐內,並預先想好擺放動線,將主食放在較易排隊的位置,小食及甜品放在邊位,方便大家邊玩邊取。最後別忘記與到會公司確認大廈上落貨安排及垃圾處理方法,派對結束時可以收得乾淨又不會超時被投訴。

The Perfect Pairing of Hong Kong Street Food and Craft Beer: Discover New Food Trends

The street food culture in Hong Kong has a long history, from crispy egg waffles to spicy curry fish balls, each bite carries the unique memories and flavors of this city. In recent years, with the rise of craft beer culture, a new food trend is sweeping through Hong Kong—skillfully pairing traditional street food with craft beer, creating an astonishing taste experience. This is not just a feast for the taste buds but also a way of life that blends tradition with innovation, reflecting the diversity and vitality of Hong Kong's food culture.

The Rise of Craft Beer Culture in Hong Kong

Hong Kong's beer culture has undergone tremendous changes in recent years. According to data from the Hong Kong Wine & Spirits Industry Coalition, the craft beer market in Hong Kong saw a growth rate of 15% in 2022, far exceeding the growth rate of traditional mass beer brands. This wave of excitement is attributed to the rapid development of local craft beer brands like Young Master and Gweilo, as well as the influx of international brands.

Behind this trend is the consumers' pursuit of personalized and high-quality beverages. According to a report from market research firm Statista, the average beer consumption per person in Hong Kong is about 24 liters per year, with the share of craft beer rising from 5% in 2018 to 12% in 2023. The younger generation, in particular, is eager to explore new flavors, providing fertile ground for the pairing of street food and craft beer.

As the cornerstone of Hong Kong's food culture, street food similarly possesses remarkable vitality. According to statistics from the Hong Kong Tourism Board, more than 70% of tourists say that street food is an important way for them to experience local culture. Today, this tradition is being revitalized through its combination with craft beer.

Classic Pairings of Hong Kong Street Food and Craft Beer

The pairing of street food and craft beer is an art, requiring a balance of taste, flavor, and layers.

Historically, Hong Kong's street food originated from the working class diet of the early 20th century, simple yet full of human warmth. The craft beer, on the other hand, has emerged as a 'new luxury' in the past decade. The combination of the two retains the down-to-earth characteristics of street food while incorporating the sophistication of high-end beer culture, serving as a model of cultural integration.

The Art and Science of Pairing Beer with Street Food

The success of beer pairing is not a random combination; it is built on a deep understanding of flavors. Here are a few core principles to consider when pairing:

Complementary Principle: Similar flavors can enhance each other. For example, the caramel notes of dark beer resonate with the rich sauce of curry fish balls.

Contrast Principle: Opposing tastes can create surprises, such as the bitterness of IPA contrasting with the sweetness of egg waffles.

Balance Principle: Avoid one element overpowering another, for instance, a light wheat beer will not overshadow the freshness of siu mai.

Hong Kong-style afternoon tea, as a unique symbol of Hong Kong's culinary culture, has always been popular with locals and tourists alike. However, with the passage of time and the elevation of tastes, traditional Hong Kong afternoon tea is quietly undergoing a revolutionary change. Recently, a trend that blends innovative cocktails with classic Hong Kong dim sum has swept the city, injecting new vitality and charm into this century-old tradition.

This "Cocktail Afternoon Tea Revolution" is not simply about adding cocktails to the afternoon tea menu, but is a deep cultural fusion and innovative attempt. It reflects Hong Kong people's respect for tradition while also showcasing an open attitude towards new things. This innovation not only enriches the content of afternoon tea but also brings new development directions to the entire beverage culture.

In this new trend, bartenders are unleashing their creativity by cleverly incorporating traditional Chinese elements into Western cocktails, creating a series of innovative cocktails unique to Hong Kong. For example, the "Dried Tangerine Peel Martini" based on dried tangerine peel not only retains the classic flavor of the martini but also adds a hint of Eastern charm. Another example is the "Milk Tea Old Fashioned," which perfectly combines the rich aroma of Hong Kong-style milk tea with the smoothness of whiskey, becoming a new favorite among many young people.

At the same time, dim sum chefs are also rising to the occasion, launching innovative dim sum that perfectly pairs with cocktails. Traditional classic Hong Kong dim sum, such as shrimp dumplings and siu mai, while retaining the original taste, have been infused with elements that enhance the flavors of the cocktails. For example, adding a touch of juniper berries to the shrimp dumplings not only adds layers of flavor but also complements cocktails based on gin.

This innovation goes beyond enjoyment on the palate; it extends into the visual and experiential realms. Many high-end hotels and restaurants have begun to launch themed cocktail afternoon teas, transforming the traditional three-tiered stand into a miniature cocktail bar, with each tier showcasing different styles of cocktails paired with dim sum. This new presentation method brings an unprecedented visual impact and tasting experience to guests.

The "Cocktail and Dim Sum" Project

The Hong Kong Lan Kwai Fong dining landmark "Fang Fang" launched an innovative "Cocktail and Dim Sum" unlimited brunch project in 2018, reconstructing Cantonese tea-drinking aesthetics with a concept of fusion between East and West. The bar team is led by international competition champion bartender Gagan Gurung, whose special Bloody Mary incorporates Southeast Asian-style spicy sauce made with curry leaves and lemongrass, creating a flavor dialogue with innovative Hong Kong dishes like bamboo charcoal black truffle wild mushroom dumplings and black caviar siu mai.

This project emphasizes the concept of "Tea and Alcohol Coexistence," combining classic dim sum craftsmanship with molecular mixology techniques. For instance, the signature "Fang Fang Shrimp Dumplings" are filled with three fresh shrimps and paired with 11-fold handmade crystal skin; the black truffle wild mushroom dumplings are wrapped in bamboo charcoal powder skin filled with mixed mushrooms and cloud ear mushrooms, complemented by the unique Tieguanyin cold brew base in the cocktail, creating a layered experience of "rich tea essence colliding with spicy alcohol body."

In this perfect encounter of cocktails and afternoon tea, we see a harmonious coexistence of tradition and innovation. The bartenders fully unleash their creativity, incorporating local specialty ingredients such as longan, lychee, and osmanthus into the cocktails, creating a series of cocktail masterpieces with Hong Kong characteristics. These cocktails not only complement the flavors of Hong Kong-style dim sum but also possess great visual appeal, becoming a hot topic on social media.

It is worth mentioning that this innovation is not limited to high-end restaurants and hotels; some local tea restaurants and street vendors have begun to try launching their own specialty cocktail afternoon tea sets. They bring this trendy phenomenon into the daily lives of ordinary citizens with more affordable prices and a more down-to-earth approach. For example, one tea restaurant has introduced a "Cocktail Milk Tea" series that cleverly combines traditional Hong Kong-style milk tea with various spirits, creating flavors that are both familiar and novel.

This innovation has not only enriched Hong Kong's food culture but also brought new opportunities to the local beverage industry. More and more local bartenders are beginning to explore how to incorporate Chinese elements into Western cocktails, and many bars are starting to collaborate with dim sum chefs to create dedicated afternoon tea cocktail menus. This cross-disciplinary collaboration not only stimulated creative collisions but also injected new vitality into Hong Kong's drinking culture.

Hong Kong-style Innovative Cocktails

Crafted with ingenuity, the "Milk Tea 9-Yeah" special cocktail reconstructs the genetic essence of Hong Kong tea drinks using unique methods. The product employs a three-step refining process: the first step uses handmade, freshly brewed secret tea soup as the base, combined with classic condensed milk to outline a creamy texture; then, it gathers traditional Eastern huadiao wine with Western Scotch single malt whiskey, complemented by the fruitiness of yellow plum brandy, calibrated repeatedly by professional bartenders to achieve a golden triangle balance system of tea aroma (42%), alcohol fragrance (33%), and creaminess (25%).

This 6.6% ABV low-alcohol specialty drink breaks the traditional boundaries of tea and alcohol, achieving molecular reconstruction of the drink body through cold brew integration technology. On entry, it exhibits a velvety smooth texture, with initial notes of bergamot and roasted tea aroma intertwining, the mid-palate releasing hints of whiskey oak barrel aging and the sweetness of huadiao, while the finish concludes with the fruit acidity of plum brandy, shaping the three layers of taste: "rich - fragrant - refreshing." The special low-sugar formula retains the signature creamy mouthfeel of Hong Kong-style milk tea but without the cloying burden of traditional milk cap drinks.

However, this innovation also faces some challenges. How to maintain the essence of tradition amidst innovation, and how to ensure that cocktails and dim sum pair in a complementary rather than overpowering manner are issues the industry needs to continually explore and improve. At the same time, ensuring that this new trend can develop sustainably, and is not just a passing fad, is also a long-term issue for the industry to contemplate.

Nevertheless, the innovative concept of "Cocktail Afternoon Tea" undoubtedly brings new possibilities to Hong Kong's culinary culture and beverage industry. It is not only an innovative extension of traditional afternoon tea culture but also a vivid manifestation of Hong Kong's continuous fusion of Eastern and Western cultures and its constant evolution.

Looking to the future, we can expect to see more surprising innovations. Perhaps one day, "Hong Kong-style Cocktail Afternoon Tea" will become a new calling card for Hong Kong to showcase its unique cultural charm to the world, alongside the Italian Aperitivo culture and Spanish Tapas culture as internationally renowned culinary cultures.

For the food and drink lovers in Hong Kong, this is undoubtedly an exciting era. Whether you are a loyal supporter of traditional afternoon tea or a passionate enthusiast of cocktails, this "Cocktail Afternoon Tea Revolution" offers you a brand-new perspective to rediscover and appreciate the food culture of this city. The next time you stroll through the streets of Hong Kong, why not step into a restaurant that offers innovative cocktail afternoon tea, personally experience this revolution of flavors, and feel the sparks created by the collision of tradition and innovation? You will surely find that in this ever-hustling city, even the most traditional afternoon tea can radiate new charm.

The Lunar New Year is one of the most significant traditional festivals in Asia and the Chinese world, as well as a precious moment for family and friends to gather and share delicious food. As the focal point of the annual reunion dinner, each meticulously prepared festive dish not only carries hopes for the new year but also profoundly reflects human warmth and cultural depth. If a well-chosen wine can accompany these traditional dishes at the banquet, it not only enhances the entire dining experience but also brings a refined and charming atmosphere to the guests.

Why Festive Dishes Need Wine Pairing

The pairing of wine with food has always been a science as well as an art. In the reunion dinner, where traditional dishes carry cultural significance and culinary essence, seemingly traditional flavors actually offer more possibilities for wine pairing. A successful pairing can be said to be a resonance between taste buds, a perfect embodiment of integrating global wine culture into Eastern dining traditions. In fact, this is not only a means of enhancing flavor but can also add taste and layers to the banquet. The aroma and flavor of a carefully selected wine can add depth to festive dishes, and the interaction between the wine and the dishes can highlight delicate and rich layers of flavor.

Classic Examples of Festive Dishes and Wine Pairing

During the Lunar New Year, the reunion dinner is the highlight of family gatherings, and each exquisite festive dish carries blessings and expectations. Pairing these delicacies with suitable wine can not only enhance the dining experience but also add an elegant atmosphere to the entire banquet. Here are some classic festive dishes and their best wine pairings, allowing you to enjoy a richer taste experience during the Spring Festival.

1. The Irreplaceable “White Cut Chicken”

Dish Flavor Characteristics: White cut chicken is renowned for its delicate meat that is oily yet not greasy, emphasizing the original flavor of the chicken with a light yet layered taste.

Best Wine Pairing: A refreshing white wine from Chablis is the most suitable choice. Its slightly mineral taste can balance the fat of the chicken and delicately highlight its sweet and fresh flavor. The fresh acidity of Chablis is like a clear spring, perfectly melting away the richness of the meat, making each bite refreshing.

2. Aromatic “Braised Lion’s Head”

Dish Flavor Characteristics: This famous Jiangsu and Zhejiang dish is known for its rich sauce and tender meat, offering a full and mouthwatering taste.

Best Wine Pairing: It is recommended to pair it with a soft-bodied Pinot Noir. Its medium body and delicate layers can make the rich sauce of the lion's head smoother, not overpowering the main dish while providing a rich contrast on the palate. In Hong Kong, many families choose this pairing to welcome the new year and enhance the festive atmosphere.

The benefits of pairing reunion dinner with wine lie in enhancing the dining experience and adding to the festive atmosphere. The right wine can balance the rich flavors of the traditional dishes, especially the greasy ones. Sparkling wine or rosé, with their refreshing taste, can effectively neutralize the oily sensation, making each bite more palatable. Additionally, the tannins in red wine can reduce the greasiness of meat and enhance the overall flavor, allowing everyone to enjoy the wonderful time of reunion more. Choosing the right wine not only adds color to the dining table but also promotes interaction and joy among family members.

3. The "Steamed Grouper" with Abundance Every Year

Dish Flavor Characteristics: Grouper has a tender texture, usually paired with light sauces to showcase the freshness of seafood.

Best Wine Pairing: Italian Vermentino white wine is an excellent choice. Its unique citrus aroma and subtle salinity complement Asian seafood dishes well, providing a naturally rewarding acidity that makes the entire dish more vibrant.

4. Satisfying "Claypot Rice with Preserved Meats"

Dish Flavor Characteristics: Claypot rice with preserved meats is rich and oily, with an abundance of savory flavors. It features both crisp and soft textures, making it one of Hong Kong's iconic cuisines.

Best Wine Pairing: Best paired with Spanish Rosé. The fresh fruitiness of Rosé wine perfectly balances the heaviness of the preserved meats, enhancing the dish's layers. Especially those with a hint of sweetness, the Rosé elevates the crispness of the rice, making it a favorite.

5. Perfectly Sweet "Freshly Ground Almond Tea"

Dish Flavor Characteristics: Almond tea is sweet without being cloying, with a rich almond aroma, and is a common dessert during the New Year period.

Best Wine Pairing: Moscato d’Asti is an excellent dessert companion. It carries notes of honey and almond, as if tailor-made for almond tea. The slight effervescence and low alcohol content make it refreshing and pleasant, without overshadowing the main course, enriching the overall dining experience.

Wine is not just a beverage; it is a lifestyle. With the rise of social media, people increasingly enjoy sharing their dining experiences. During reunion dinners, inviting friends and family for delicate tasting exchanges not only strengthens relationships but also allows everyone to enjoy food and wine in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.
