Following the success of their first collaboration, chef ArChan of Ho Lee Fook and chef Jayson Tang of Man Ho Chinese Restaurant are reuniting for another project in November. The Cantonese chefs will be delving into the world of ‘The Four Treasures’ for the upcoming pop-up menu, where four coveted Cantonese ingredients – namely abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw, and vegetarian shark fin – take centre stage.
Aside from being famously coveted and therefore expensive ingredients, these culinary treasures are also full of collagen which explains why those who can afford to love regularly indulging for the sake of both their skin and tastebuds.
Diners at this extremely limited treat can expect a reinterpretation of traditional techniques, recipes, and flavours in the eight-course menu. Highlights include fish maw with green Sichuan pepper sauce, hairy crab meat and roe with vegetarian shark fin, pork patty and preserved Chinese sausage in glutinous rice elevated with sea cucumber, and a citrusy dessert where vegetarian shark fin features among the refreshing flavours of guava, pomelo, and coconut.
If you’ve ever wondered what the heart of Cantonese cuisine is, then a meal dedicated to these four timeless ingredients is a great starting point. Ho Lee Fook x Man Ho Chinese Restaurant’s collaborative menu is available for one night only on November 13 at Ho Lee Fook. The menu is priced from $1,688 per person – reserve your spot now.
