Hong Kong, July 2005 - In July and August, InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong's Belvedere and The Mistral will present special menus featuring Summer truffles - the most sought-after culinary delicacy from France.
The ancient and competitive art of truffle hunting takes place in the wee hours of the morning and requires the trained eye of a trifulau (or truffle hunter) and a faithful companion to sniff out the prized truffles that grow underground near poplar, oak, hazel, willow and linden trees.
Chef Darrell will delicately balance the flavour of the treasured summer truffle by shaving or grating the truffles into thin pieces and placing them on top of the food. Chef's recommendation for this summer include Hamachi carpaccio with blood orange and truffle, baby cress; and Lobster with summer truffle and vegetable pearls, lavender and rosemary.
Meanwhile at The Mistral, Chef Sergio, a native of Piedmont and truffle expert, will be preparing a menu of truffle heaven! Baked duck liver and summer truffle in puff pastry with Marsala wine jelly; Linguine pasta with scampi and zucchini flower served with summer truffle; Pan-fried stuffed yellow corn-fed chicken breast with summer truffle and served with red chicory risotto.
For a tempting and tasty truffle experience join Chef Darrell and Chef Sergio at InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong in the month of July.
For reservations: Belvedere 2731 2880, and The Mistral 2731 2870.
