Maka Hiki Lounge by Honi Honi Tiki Cocktail Lounge, Asia’s first tiki bar, has launched at The Upper House this January, creating an unrivalled city escape with a day-to-night concept that draws crowds from hotel guests to passers-by nestled in the heart of the city. The pop-up is open now until 31 May 2021, offering regular scheduled events that give everyone the opportunity to experience this sophisticated spin on tiki culture.With 20 years of partnership under their belts, Maka Hiki Lounge Co-founders Maxence Traverse and Stephane Levan came up with this exciting “jungle in the concrete jungle” concept in celebration of the continued success of Honi Honi Tiki Cocktail Lounge. After crossing paths multiple times over the past two decades, they finally came together and opened Honi Honi Tiki Cocktail Lounge in 2012, creating a one-of-a-kind space of lush greenery and tropical decor in the heart of Hong Kong.Meaning “new beginning”, this unique collaboration, located in the spacious venue of The Upper House lobby, garden and patio, is an elegant tiki haven with two distinct personalities. From early morning, Maka Hiki Lounge is a one-of-a-kind alternative all-day café serving healthy breakfast dishes and daily specials, plus locally-branded teas from Plantation, CBD-infused beverages, and “12 Noon” detox drinks, including fresh juices, available to satisfy all tastes.All-day dining from 12noon to 11pm takes inspiration from islands all over the world, with plates including Poké Miso Cones, Cubano Pulled Pork Sandwich, Cod Fish Acras, Jamaican Jerk Chicken Skewers, BBQ Pineapple Beef Mini Burgers and more. For sweets, Maka Hiki Lounge introduces its Rhum Baba infused in a delicious and aromatic rum syrup. Sundown brings a wide collection of rums and a selection of Honi Honi’s signature cocktails to the table created with the freshest available ingredients with a tropical twist.
