Go gold on the strip

Start planning for Christmas and book a meal at Strip House in Hong Kong's Lan Kwai Fong. Why? Because they are planning to serve melt-in-your-mouth slow-cooked Christmas turkey with celery root and crab meat stuffing and glazed sweet potato.

Or you can chose the signature lava-stone grilled sirloin steak with pumpkin puree. Seafood appetizers are Balik salmon with caviar pancake, and baked Gillardeau oyster with spinach, smoked bacon and Champagne sauce.

Dessert is for those who cannot make up their minds, so it's a luscious trio of chocolate log cake, plum pudding and cinnamon ice cream, with coffee or tea and Christmas cookies. Priced at HK$880 ($709) per person for Christmas Eve.
