Savour every fin
Following their popular bluefin tuna menu last winter, Asaya Kitchen is spotlighting another Mediterranean fish this season. This time, Italian chef Fabio Nompleggio presents the Dorada fish in a new, colourful five-course lunch menu priced at HK$688 per person that comes with a glass of Bodegas Mengoba, Godello Viejo Bierzo 2019 and is only available on weekends until the end of August.
Also known as Gilt Headed Bream, the Dorada at Asaya Kitchen is sourced from a sustainable fishery in Spain and delivered fresh within 48 to 72 hours to ensure the highest possible quality. This silver fish, which offers rich and meaty white flesh, will be used in dishes such as marinated tartare with petit pois, cherry radish and Amalfi lemon oil; consommé with celeriac ravioli, morels and nasturtium; and carpaccio paired with sour cream, grated yolk and green asparagus.
