On the evenings of 7th and 8th January 2020, La Rambla by Catalunya will welcome Spanish guest chef Chele Gonzalez to join Executive Chef Ferran Tadeo on the pass. An advocate of Anthropological Cuisine in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, Chef Chele brings a taste of his acclaimed restaurants to discerning gourmands in Hong Kong. The special tasting menu will be available at HK$1,780 + 10% per guest.
Drawing on the two chefs’ common Spanish heritage and experience living abroad, the collaboration was born out of a shared love for foundational Spanish cooking with modern twists. Plates are infused with regional influences, such as premium wagyu from Japan and Chele’s selection of fresh Philippine produce. The full 12-course menu is as below:
