As we dive into summer and gear up to celebrate the fathers in our lives, Black Sheep presents a compelling line-up of reasons to dine out and indulge – from MICHLEIN-Starred collaborations to refreshing cocktails and spirited Pride Month celebrations. 

BLACK SHEEP MAKES HISTORY, SWEEPS GOLD AND SILVER CUPS IN HONG KONG’S DRAGON BOAT GRAND FINAL
Black Sheep’s Dragon Boat Team penned a new chapter in the history of the city’s signature sport at the Stanley International Dragon Boat Championships, seizing victory in the top two divisions of this UNESCO-recognised tradition. After edging out more than 200 rival teams, Black Sheep crossed the Gold Cup finish line first by a razor-thin one-tenth of a second, then climbed back into the boats and repeated the feat to win the Silver Cup just minutes later. 

Captains ArChan Chan, executive chef of Ho Lee Fook; Gurpreet (Gopi) Brar of Prince and the Peacock, and Leon Ruelle, who looks after Black Sheep’s new openings, led the all-volunteer squad through six months of pre-dawn practices, with their hard work paying off in the dramatic finale. 

“Hospitality is all about heart,” said captain ArChan. “Turns out that same heart can win championships — and create forever days.” Black Sheep will release a special documentary that followed the team through the season later this summer.
