Known for her creative cuisine, including a seasonal lunch that spotlights a single ingredient, chef-owner Vicky Lau has launched another limited edition menu: 'Ode to Forest' which is centred on our favourite forest funghi, the mushroom. The unique six-course tasting menu ($1,080 per person) uses fourteen different mushroom varieties from forests across Europe and Asia, including the local king oyster and Swanson mushrooms as well as shiitake and matsutake from Japan, and more. Highlights on the menu include the Ode to Ganba Fungus, a seaweed risotto with mussels and wild Chinese ganba fungus from Yunnan; Ode to Shiitake, with Japanese shiitake mushroom Jane Eyre and pan-fried abalone with lobster oyster sauce; and Ode to Local Mushroom Farm, using locally grown mushrooms with local yellow chicken roulade, to name just a few. Oh, and you mustn’t miss the course of magic mushroom mignardises at the end! The menu also has wine pairing options at $580 for three glasses and $880 for six glasses.
