From 26th to 28th October, Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong held The Taste of Artistry, a gastronomic collaborative effort between the hotel’s Lung King Heen and Jin Sha at Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou. The three-day event was part of a six-week lifestyle and dining kaleidoscope event by nine Four Seasons hotels in Mainland China, Macau and Hong Kong. Lung King Heen restaurant, holder of three Michelin stars, and multiple award-winning restaurant Jin Sha prepared an eight-course tasting menu, combined with multisensory Chinese arts and crafts to enhance the dining experience.
Chinese Executive Chef Chan Yan Tak, known for putting Cantonese cuisine on the international gourmet map and also nine-time winner of three Michelin stars, brought his season-oriented philosophy to the event. Bringing together seafood as a staple ingredient in Cantonese cuisine and seasonal Australian black truffles, Tak created an exquisite appetiser of crab meat seasoned with sesame sauce, served with thin strips of aromatic black truffles. Meanwhile mogul of Zhejiang cuisine Chef Wang Yong served authentic Zhejiang fare with a modern twist, like the spring onion pancakes – a crusty and flaky Shanghainese pastry, served with homemade hazelnut and caramel goose liver paté.
Diners enjoyed the magnificent array from both chefs at the special six-course Executive Lunch Menu at noon, and Jin Sha’s selected signature dishes and eight-course Taste of Artistry Menu with optional wine pairing in the evening at Lung King Heen. In addition, The Taste of Artistry also showcased Chinese art masters at the event for a memorable experience. Water-colour painter and calligrapher Elvis Hui demonstrated his talent at lunch time, so that guests who ordered the six-course lunch received a handwritten calligraphic menu as a souvenir. In the evening, the Chinese Opera face and costume changers performed a dramatic show against the panoramic view of the Kowloon skyline, stimulating the diners’ senses.
