New Seasonal Highlights: A Story on Every Plate

The new menu reflects Anne-Sophie Pic’s signature interplay of fragrance, texture, and memory—each dish a deeply personal narrative shaped by her heritage, delicately adapted for the Hong Kong palate.

• Les Berlingots ASP ©

This summer version of Pic’s signature pasta is filled with goat cheese and served in a green tomato consommé infused with chrysanthemum and marigold. The dish combines acidity, creaminess, and a delicate floral note, with chrysanthemum offering a subtle nod to local Hong Kong flavours.

• Kinmedai

Charcoal-grilled deep-sea Kinmedai is paired with seaweed-roasted French beans and sits atop a base of dulse seaweed. It is finished with a light sabayon made from bay leaf oil and pink peppercorn water.

Limousin Sweetbread

• Charolais Beef Fillet

This prized French beef is marinated with miso, coffee, and caraway, then cooked meunière-style. It is served with a smoky eggplant purée and garnished with black garlic, pine bud powder, and fresh herbs.

• Limousin Sweetbread

Prepared over several days, the sweetbread is poached in a milk infusion, aged in beeswax, then pan-seared in clarified butter. It is served with corn honeycomb and praline, osmanthus, and lavender—two flowers symbolic of Hong Kong and France.

• Kuruma Shrimp

Smoked Kuruma shrimp is placed over a savoury chawanmushi made from charcoal-dried peas and green soy beans. A hot consommé infused with geranium and combawa is poured tableside to gently cook the shrimp and enhance its flavour.

Matsutake from Yunnan +  Raspberry

• Matsutake from Yunnan

Matsutake mushrooms and abalone are slow-cooked together with kombu confit, pine noodles, and gyokuro tea. The result is an immersive, umami-rich dish that unites forest and sea. The infusion of Douglas pine enhances the natural depth of the mushrooms, with the final sauce made from kombu and dried mushrooms to elevate the umami further.

• Raspberry (Dessert)

This refreshing dessert combines raspberry confit with rosemary and sea fennel ice cream. Cocoa nib meringue adds texture, and a touch of seaweed provides a hint of salinity.

• Mekonga Chocolate (Dessert)

Coriander-infused chocolate crémeux sits atop a chocolate sponge with chocolate mousse, caramelised peanuts, and peanut praline. It is finished with coriander tuile, chocolate decor, and a spiced chocolate sauce flavoured with mace.

• Millefeuille (Dessert)

Crisp puff pastry is layered with coffee crèmeux, meadowsweet caramel, vinegar gel, ginger chantilly, and sobacha tuile.

• Blackberry Pavlova (Dessert)

Fresh blackberries are paired with smoked vanilla crèmeux and pink peppercorn chantilly. A mulberry gin sauce ties together the vibrant fruit and aromatic components.

• La Pêche

A warm peach is confit inside a crust of sugar and cinnamon berry, infused with cascara and verbena, and served with a scoop of verbena ice cream.
