We all love a good Sunday brunch, but if you’re looking for something different – say, an upscale feast made entirely from just food surplus and scraps – then Eaton HK and Chomp might have the perfect table for you.
Taking over the terrace at Terrible Baby on April 26 (12 noon-3pm), The Rescued Feast is back for its first-ever weekend edition to celebrate Earth Day. According to the Environmental Protection Department, over 3,000 tonnes of food are discarded daily in Hong Kong, contributing significantly to our city’s landfill problems. The Rescued Feast is here to spotlight this issue, proving that surplus ingredients can be transformed into an exceptional dining experience while educating guests on the importance of food waste reduction and sustainable practices.
Stepping up to the plate is Eaton HK’s executive chef Alex Lee, who brings over two decades of culinary experience spanning some of the world’s most prestigious kitchens and Michelin-starred restaurants. Lee and his team will have a tight 24-hour window to assess the donated ingredients before deciding how to transform them into an inspiring spread for 200 guests. Chef Lee’s style usually leans into a mix of Western techniques and Chinese influences, which should make for a pretty interesting spread given the zero-waste brief.
Tickets are priced from $500, which covers the event entry, the full buffet, a welcome glass of prosecco or a soft drink, and a goodie bag stuffed with gifts and vouchers from friends of The Rescued Feast. Terrible Baby will also have a lineup of cocktails available, as well as lively DJ beats to keep the vibes going throughout the afternoon.
If previous events are anything to go by, you’ll even be handed takeaway boxes at the end to ensure that absolutely nothing from the buffet goes to waste! Head over to chomphk.com now to grab your ticket.
