From 9-19 November, DiningCity, in partnership with American Express, is collaborating with 30 of the city’s finest restaurants to hold its Elite Dining Week 2017. Top chefs were exclusively invited to participate by creating special tasting menus for the event, featuring their signature dishes plus optional wine pairings. Without further adieu, let’s dive into the first instalment of Gafencu’s Elite Dining Week reviews.
Themed meals and extraordinary dishes have been the challenge for this season’s edition of Elite Dining Week. The discerning foodie’s demands for flawless plating and palate pleasing concoctions are sure to be met. Take <a href="https://elitediningweek.diningcity.hk/lang/en/cities/hongkong/restaurants/13650">Bibo </a>for example, whose HK$488 lunch showcases a playful yet thoughtful experiment: a deconstructed Carambar, which the pastry chef used to love as a child. He reinterpreted the candy in the form of cacao crumble, salted caramel, chocolate Chantilly and house made Carambar ice cream.
For dinner, we’re eyeing fine dining at Conrad, whose three renowned gastronomy brands are participating in different capacities. There’s the Italian <a href="https://elitediningweek.diningcity.hk/lang/en/cities/hongkong/restaurants/2046097">Nicholini’s</a> featuring the white truffle turbot, the Cantonese <a href="https://elitediningweek.diningcity.hk/lang/en/cities/hongkong/restaurants/13607">Golden Leaf</a> highlighting their signature crabmeat fried rice with homemade X.O. sauce and the French <a href="https://elitediningweek.diningcity.hk/lang/en/cities/hongkong/restaurants/13680">Brasserie on the Eighth</a>, whose HK$790 dégustation dinner wouldn’t dent the wallet quite as much as the first two.
After trying a few of the participating establishments, the Gafencu team would definitely recommend these once-in-a-lifetime tastings the likes of which will never be seen again! Stay tuned for more Elite Dining Week coverage.&nbsp;
