TATE Dining Room, Hong Kong, revealed its new eight-course degustation menu this week and it’s a delightful ode to the much-loved foods of China paired with intricate French techniques and specialty ingredients.
The innovative menu, created by chef-owner Vicky Lau, features dishes such as the Ode to Conch, which uses the mollusc traditionally used in Chinese cooking and medicine prepared with umami-rich seaweed jelly and pumpkin puree, or the Ode to Challans Duck that uses the famous French duck juxtaposed with figs and a red date compote.
In Ode to Kumquat, the small Chinese citrus fruit is incorporated into a dish composed of sautéed Hokkaido scallop, pickled daikon, a traditional French Grenobloise brown butter sauce and dried scallop, while in Ode to Lobster, blue lobster from Brittany is the star, served with a carrot and red bean curd sauce and topped with compressed pineapple.
TATE Dining Room was opened in 2012 as a fine dining restaurant serving an eclectic mix of French and Chinese cuisine presented in what the chef refers to as Edible Stories - an exploration into culinary expressionism. The dishes focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients, combined with modern French techniques with the utmost attention to detail. It was awarded 1 Michelin star in 2013.
Vicky Lau is Asia's Best Female Chef 2015
