Indulge in caviar and champagne at three restaurants, and the lesser known Hanwoo beef from Korea.
#1 Dom Pérignon P2 2000 x Caviar
There’s nothing quite as indulgent as pairing caviar with champagne – especially if that champagne happens to be a Dom Pérignon P2 2000. The P2 takes 17 years to produce and requires a much longer ageing process than a vintage wine would take. The P2 2000 is creamy yet bold and with a depth that would be hard to find in any other champagne.
Dom Pérignon is partnering with three restaurants in Hong Kong to present this extravagant pairing: Haku, Kashiwaya and ON Dining. Each chef will bring to life the unique character of the P2 2000 and match it with the salty flavours of caviar. The dishes are incorporated into the tasting menu.
Find it here: HK$3,980 for 8-course menu at Haku, HK$3,680 for 11-course menu at Kashiwaya, HK$3,800 for caviar cake and bottle of Dom Perignon at ON Dining.
#2 Peking Garden at Star House
The establishment reopens after three months of renovations with new dishes inspired by Beijing’s imperial cuisine. Highlighted dishes exclusive to the Star House location include braised vegetable with ham, carrot and mushroom presented in a fan shape, and sautéed prawn with scallop and sea whelk in chilli sauced served on a carved dragon. The restaurant also offers modernised versions of time-honoured dishes like the Beggar’s Chicken, which will come with a hammer for guests to use to break into the dish.
Find it here: 3/F, Star House, 3 Salisbury Road Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.
