Rightly proud of achieving two Michelin stars for three years running, Cantonese fine dining institution Ying Jee Club is currently offering their first-ever Michelin degustation menu to mark the occasion. The menu brings together executive chef Siu Hin-chi s signatures as well as long-time crowd-pleasers into one neat package, highlighting Ying Jee Club s detail-oriented, produce-centric take on Cantonese haute cuisine. The meal starts strong with an appetiser of moreish bites like chilled South African abalone, drunken
hua diao pigeon, crispy eel with yuzu honey, and honey-glazed barbecue pork, and is subsequently buoyed by the likes of sauteed lobster with water chestnut and conpoy, the masterful double-boiled fish maw with black mushroom and Chinese cabbage, the braised sea cucumber stuffed with shrimp paste and minced pork, and Kagoshima A4 wagyu beef with leek and wasabi, wok-fried to perfection.
Champagne, haute cuisine and crystal glass come together starting next week as three-Michelin-starred L Atelier de Joël Robuchon launches The Art of Revealing Nature dining experience with Perrier-Jouët and French luxury crystal house, Lalique. The six-course menu draws the attention of diners to the synergy between these three usually disparate forms of creative expression by matching executive chef Adriano Cattaneo s cuisine with six vintage and non-vintage champagnes from Perrier-Jouët, poured into Lalique s delicate crystal glassware. Pairings include caviar and mimosa with the vibrant Blanc de Blancs NV, the signature shining sea urchin cream and fennel emulsion with the floral Belle Epoque 2012, and the quail and foie gras with the Blason Rosé.
Urban Roasted Resort, the latest opening under the Urban Coffee Roaster brand, adds another notch in the overladen belt of Sham Shui Po s rapidly gentrifying Tai Nan Street.
Between, the Japanese-inspired cafe by JIA Group, expands to its second permanent location in Wan Chai, after its pop-up venture at Haus in Central.
