The Michelin Guide Hong Kong & Macau 2014 has just launched. Highlights of the 6th edition food guide include how Demon Chef Alvin Leung swoops four stars this year. While MIC Kitchen has become a One-starred restaurant, Bo Innovation rises from Two-starred to Three-starred category. And Japanese cuisine has been stirring up real buzz as not long after Sushi Yoshitake received Two stars as a new entry last year, it is awarded three stars after changing its name to Sushi Shikon this year. Another new spot, Wagyu Takumi which just opened in early 2013, has also got two stars. Check out below for the restaurants receiving the influential star rankings!
