This year, Thanksgiving falls on Thursday 26 November; and although it’s originally a time when Americans and Canadians celebrate with their friends and loved ones, it has become increasingly popular with food lovers from other countries too – and that includes here in HK. So, it’s time to get your gobble on! We’ve listed a few top places for dining in, or for tracking down your own turkey and trimmings to make for a great Thanksgiving in Hong Kong.
Kinship
Neighbourhood eatery Kinship has unveiled special Thanksgiving dinner, weekend brunch and takeaway menus featuring nostalgic American dishes inspired by Executive Chef Chris Grare’s New Jersey upbringing. We love the sound of the ricotta and nutmeg agnolotti, the Louisiana-style crayfish salad, and the smoked turkey – not to mention the range of nostalgic sides. (Vegetarian options available.) The Kinship dinner menu (from HK$488 per person) is available on 26 and 27 November, while the brunch (from HK$388) is available on 28 and 29 November. There’s also the option of getting a takeaway package – dinner for 6 to 8 people is HK$1,888, including a premium whole 5-6kg roasted turkey and trimmings, and much more. For orders and table bookings, contact the restaurant or book via SevenRooms. 3/F 2-4 Shelley Street, Central.

AMMO
Admiralty’s Italian Japanese fusion restaurant AMMO has a delish-sounding home-delivered Party Turkey Set ($2,180) and a Party Prime Rib Set ($2,800) for Thanksgiving in Hong Kong. Both cater to six to eight people.

Both options come with gravy (plus organic cranberry for the turkey) and you also get four classic side dishes in each set, too – baked mac and cheese with truffle, Hershey chocolate brownies and more. Add-on sides are available, too.
