The seeds we sow

Hello,

This week, we step inside the newly reopened Roganic Hong Kong, where Simon Rogan’s vision finds a fresh canvas at Lee Garden One. With a new address comes a new approach—one that champions a convivial, sharing-style menu and a dining space rooted in sustainability. Our exclusive first look reveals how Roganic continues to evolve while staying true to its ethos of innovation and seasonality.

We also take a moment to honour Margarita Forés. A luminary of the culinary world, she was a force of generosity and grace, shaping not just Filipino gastronomy but the lives of those fortunate enough to know her. The heartfelt tributes from the F&B community speak to the depth of her influence and the void left by her passing. We share some of these memories as we reflect on her remarkable legacy.
