Did you know that the Pekingese dog had been a favourite of the Chinese royalty since the Han dynasty? Read an article about its role in pre-modern China.

Dynastic Dogs: Han dynasty and onwards

Although Asiatic lions were believed to once roam around on the loose, they were more or less extinct in China by the time the Han dynasty was instituted in 206 BC. Still, the beast remained heavily prolific and highly esteemed in many Buddhist myths and texts as a symbol of royalty and leadership-perhaps a spillover from the influence of Indian sects within Buddhism, since lions were still present there. As a symbol, lions referenced the monarchic roots of Prince Siddartha, the former name of Gautama Buddha.

Bronze effigies of guardian lions (銅獅; tung4 si1) served as signs of the Pekingese's eminence amongst the sphere of authority. In fact, Emperor Ling (漢靈帝; hon3 ling4 dai3) had even conferred a scholarly title to his favourite dog, to the chagrin of his ministers and civil officials. It is rumoured that the Chinese term " dog officer " (狗官; gau2 gun1), referring to a brown-nosing official, is derived from this bizarre order.

It's summertime, and you are enjoying your delicious meal on the outdoor patio of a restaurant. You look through the window and find other customers comfortably embraced by the air conditioning, revelling in their dishes. Desperately wanting to head inside, you turn your head and notice your dog suffering equally under the stifling heat, remembering that only open-air areas welcome pets.

Well, sweat no more-to save you from this scenario, we have found some of the best restaurants in Hong Kong with pet-friendly indoor seating so you and your pet can cool down together.

1

Tuckshop by Social Club

Looking for delicious bagels or pancakes for brunch? Head to Tuckshop by Social Club with your beloved pets, where plenty of seats are available and natural sunlight streams into the restaurant through their French windows, creating a leisurely atmosphere for customers. Whether you decide to order their smoked salmon bagel ($70) or pancakes with blueberries ($80), we suggest adding on a side of delightfully crispy fries for just $20!

Tuckshop by Social Club, Shop 4-7, 158A Connaught Road West, Sai Ying Pun | (+852) 9745 4966

Wan Land Café (一浪)

Blending Japanese and Taiwanese design elements, the plain white walls, minimal wooden furniture, and simplistic decoration at Wan Land Café (一浪) allow for a spacious environment in which your pets can wander around. Offering seating both indoors and outdoors, the East Asian-inspired menu offers options such as the signature sandwich ($78) and mentaiko pasta ($78), as well as their croffle topped with seasonal fruits ($68), alongside familiar coffee beverages like the flat white ($38), coffee tonic ($45), and espresso ($32).

Wan Land Café (一浪), 26 Li Tak Street, Tai Kok Tsui

Coast Coffee

Inspired by the quote "Life's a coast-to-coast journey," Coast Coffee makes use of warm lighting fixtures and verdant plants to generate a cosy environment for you and your pets. Coast Coffee also aims to serve wholesome meal choices to customers, offering dishes like cauliflower rice with chicken thigh & kimchi ($98), tom yum risotto with Thai eggplants ($88), and creamy mushroom fusilli ($78). However, be mindful that while indoor seating is allowed for pets, you must place them in a bag or carry them by hand.

Boholic serves multi-national dishes with delicate plating techniques, from fried Hokkaido scallop and mentaiko cream risotto ($98) and baked Boston lobster with gnocchi ($168) to roselle Basque burnt cheesecake ($58) and blueberry yoghurt smoothie ($46).

Koko Coffee Roasters

All pet lovers are familiar with The Mills in Tsuen Wan, so before or after shopping with your pets in the mall, visit Koko Coffee Roasters for lunch or dinner! Unlike the restaurants mentioned above, this place has more of a modern edge with the heavy use of stone and steels. Paintings of automobiles and city night views on the walls complement its urban vibe.

Koko Coffee Roasters is also a nice spot to study and work while enjoying some amazing dishes, such as double cheeseburgers with fries ($128) and pulled pork bowl ($148). Your pets will easily find friends both in the mall and restaurant, so feel free to let them mingle!

Koko Coffee Roasters, Shop G09, The Mills, 45 Pak Tin Par Street, Tsuen Wan | (+852) 2499 7255

Superhooman

It's safe to say that when dining out with your pet, there is always a pair of hopeful eyes staring straight at the food you are about to bite into. Most of the time, you wish you could share the food with them, but what if the restaurant also provides pet-friendly dishes?

Superhooman offers a pet-friendly food menu, which includes snacks like purple sweet potato cookies ($58) and pumpkin pup balls ($58) that your four-legged pal can enjoy alongside you. Now you can have your mussel risotto with lobster sauce ($148) or roasted spring chicken ($138) without worrying about your pet waiting with a hungry stomach!
