Asaya Kitchen at Rosewood Hong Kong is now serving Mediterranean-Pescatarian cuisine

Asaya Kitchen has re-opened at ultra-luxury Rosewood Hong Kong, situated on the same floor as Asaya, Rosewood’s urban wellness and spa concept, offering daily lunch and dinners from Thursday to Saturday only. Led by Culinary Director Fabian Altabert and team, Asaya Kitchen champions wholesome Mediterranean fare that focuses on seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers, fisheries and food artisans.

Asaya Kitchen showcases cooking methods that maintain the unique properties of fresh and seasonal produce. Plates are infused with raw, sprouted, pickled and fermented organic ingredients in the à la carte lunch menu, while the dinner menu takes on a more detailed and elevated dining approach.

New dishes on the à la carte menu include Spanish Octopus (HKD268) paired with charred, smoky eggplant, Juniper salt and preserved lemon; jet-fresh Italian Red Prawns “Crudo” (HKD328) with chickpea hummus, espelette pepper and Arbequina olive oil; and King Crab (HKD288) with roasted beets and dill in a buckwheat tart, with the option of additional 10g Ossetra caviar topping for an additional HKD200. Glacier 51 (HKD388) harmonises the flavours of zucchini mint cream, watercress oil, and tomato crust, while Wild Sea Bass “Cartoccio” (HKD388) offers a taste of the sea with fresh Manila clams, asparagus, and Piennolo tomatoes. Sure to be another hit with seafood lovers, Cous Cous (HKD308) is a new dish that infuses cinnamon seafood broth, rock fish and seasonal crustaceans.

For dessert, the Amalfi Lemon Sorbet (HKD108) is crisp and refreshing with forest berries and thyme leaves, and the Seasonal Fruit Tart (HKD108) is served with bourbon vanilla Chantilly cream and tonka beans.

It takes an artisanal approach, featuring lighter bodied and smaller production wines which pair well with the menu’s vegetables, fish and grains. In keeping with the Asaya Kitchen ethos of healthful cuisine, the beverage list showcases finely crafted cocktails minus the alcohol.
