Tsim Sha Tsui Gourmet: FWD Mansion and five major brands celebrate cultural renaissance

- 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 Feast of the New Era💃🏼 I recently had the pleasure of participating in a cultural renaissance celebration for the taste buds, hosted by LUBUDS Group and five major F&B brands in FWD 1881 Mansion. 🎨 With the theme of "A New Era Feast," this year's menu design blends the unique characteristics of each restaurant with a fusion of culture and craftsmanship. The menu showcases signature dishes from a hidden bar, Chinese restaurant, Michelin-starred chef's restaurant, and Italian bistro and steakhouse, all in one place, a feast for the taste buds. 𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝘿𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙨 🥂Sileni, Marlborough, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc With aromas of lime and tropical fruits and pleasant acidity, this wine is refreshing and crisp, a light prelude to a feast. 1𝙨𝙩 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚 🥬Crispy Bean Curd Skin with Mixed Vegetables by Houyuan Houyuan's signature appetizer – Smoked Tri-Color Goose. Deep-fried tofu skin, delicately wrapped with lettuce, shiitake mushrooms, and shredded radish. A light smoky aroma, the skin is crispy and fragrant, while the inside is crispy and fresh, offering a multifaceted flavor. The aroma of beans and the sweetness of the vegetables complement each other. 🥩Steak Tartare by PALCO ITALIAN STEAKHOUSE A classic French delicacy: beef tartar – rich in flavor, with the natural sweetness and savory taste of the beef, moist but not greasy. 🐟Beignet with Caviar by CAFE BAU Caviar Beignets - A Chinese-style Western pastry. The crispy crust reveals a burst of salted egg yolk lava upon biting into it. Paired with a rich, Shanghai-inspired caviar topping, the salty, fresh caviar blends beautifully with the creamy aroma of the beignets, creating a distinct layer of flavor. 2𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚 𝙗𝙮 Back Garden 🐣Chilled Chicken in Chinese Hua Diao Wine & Wintermelon with Dried Sweet Plums Drunken Chicken Jelly with Hua Diao Wine and Preserved Plums and Winter Melon - This cube-shaped drunken chicken jelly is exquisitely presented. The chicken skin is crisp and tender, with a rich Hua Diao wine aroma that's gentle and non-overpowering. The preserved plums and winter melon offer a refreshing, sweet, and savory combination, offering a balanced blend of wine, freshness, and sweet and sour flavors in every bite. 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙥 by PALCO ITALIAN STEAKHOUSE 🦞Lobster Bisque Lobster Bisque — Simply put, super! Rich! Rich! The bisque is golden in color and smooth in texture, featuring a rich blend of shrimp paste and cream. It's fragrant yet not greasy, and the shrimp is sweet and savory, enhancing the umami flavor. 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙖 by PALCO ITALIAN STEAKHOUSE 🥟Black Truffle Cheese Spinach Egg Ravioli Black Truffle Cheese Spinach Egg Ravioli — I love wontons with thin skin. The egg yolk pours out once you crack it, and the filling is filled with spinach and cheese. The savory flavor of the egg and cheese blends seamlessly with the rich black truffle filling. The flavors are harmonious and not greasy. A rare and delicious wonton! 𝙈𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚 by CAFE BAU X LUMA 🐣Hung Wan Farm Ping Yuen Chicken Morel & Black Termite Mushroom, Yi O Rice Hongyun Farm Plain Chicken — As delicious as ever🤤 Using locally raised plain chicken, free of added hormones and steroids. The skin is crisp and non-greasy, while the interior is tender and juicy. Paired with morels and wild mushrooms, the chicken is made with 2-Ao Miso sun-dried chicken fat, while also boasting a rich wild mushroom flavor. 🍷Richard Hamilton, McLaren Vale, Australia, Shiraz The wine is relatively full-bodied, with notes of blackberry, black pepper, and a subtle smokiness. The rounded tannins perfectly complement the fresh aromas of the chicken and wild mushrooms. 𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙩 by CAFE BAU X LUMA 🍰Chestnut Mille Feuille Chestnut Mille Feuille — Golden and crispy crust, smooth and creamy chestnut paste inside. Perfectly sweet without being cloying. Paired with crispy meringue and local brand Kowloon Wei Kee milk. The ice cream is rich and creamy with a rich, layered flavor. 𝙋𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙩 𝙁𝙤𝙪𝙧 by CAFE BAU X LUMA 🍫Matcha Madeleine & Chocolate The madeleine is soft and fluffy with a matcha white chocolate coating. A bit sweet aftertaste; I wish the matcha flavor was stronger. 🤤 📍Cafe Bau (Tsim Sha Tsui) G/F, Main Building, FWD 1881, 2A Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui 📍LUMA (Tsim Sha Tsui) Ground Floor, FWD 1881 Mansion, 2A Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui 📍Palco Italian Steakhouse (Tsim Sha Tsui) 1/F, FWD 1881 Mansion, 2A Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui 📍Back Garden (Tsim Sha Tsui) Ground Floor, FWD 1881 Mansion, 2A Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui 📍THE CELL (Tsim Sha Tsui) Ground Floor, FWD 1881 Mansion, 2A Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui - #lamchelin #lamchelin_tst #lamchelin_cantonese #1881heritage #Tsim Sha TsuiFood
