For gents with time to spare, the new ingredient-forward five-course lunch tasting menu (HK$368) is available weekdays from 12 noon until 2.30 pm and begins with cold South African abalone in smoke with a sauce made from house-fermented plum, garlic and white wine from one of the restaurant’s own Burgundy wineries. Served on dry ice, this is a dish that’s as eye-catching as it is delicious.
A seasonal double-boiled soup packed with nutrients is followed by deboned crispy chicken, an elegant dish that consists of shredded slow-cooked chicken breast, seasoned with ginger and spring onion oil, and topped with crispy chicken skin; and stir-fried Angus beef flat rice noodles. Finish off with chilled fresh mango pearls with coconut cream.
