Academy of higher yearning

If you're celebrating this month, Hong Kong-style, look no further than Dragon Noodles Academy in Central, which has created innovative new dishes and two new cocktails to up its seasonal offerings.

The light and bright menu items include toasted coconut corn cob (HK$59, $7.5), presented in lollipop-like form with a coating of coconut flakes; marinated winter melon in blueberry sauce (HK$69), in which the melon balls are dipped in blueberry sauce and presented like a bunch of grapes; and baby cabbage florets with ham (HK$129).
