Hong Kong, June 2005 - Chef Darrell and Sommelier John will present a delicious and delectable “Port Wine & Cheese” menu at Belvedere during the month of June.
Kapiti Cheese from New Zealand
The outstanding quality of Kapiti cheese is derived from a combination of traditional skills and an innovative interpretation of cheese-making techniques. Kapiti's irrepressible enthusiasm and consummate knowledge of authentic cheese-making methods has led to the creation of unforgettable cheeses that tease the palate with flair and character.
Portugal’s fine Porto
Port is a fortified wine from the remote vineyards in Portugal's Douro Valley. In the Douro Valley, time has almost stood still, and Portugal’s wine industry has remained pretty much the way it was over a hundred years ago. It is for this reason that Port is still one of the world's greatest wines!
Chef Darrell and Sommelier John have chosen a variety of the finest Port wines available, and complemented them with a wonderful selection of Kapiti cheese dishes. Delicious dishes include A zesty Awa blue cheese salad with wild arugula and char-grilled apricot, soy basted shredded quail; and Ramara wash rind cheese baked with cinnamon crusted apple, roasted walnuts, yabbies and white port glaze; Zucchini flowers stuffed with Kapiti cow Feta and caramelised figs, sesame tempura, yoghurt and mint.
For a wonderful menu of dishes based on cheese, accompanied by fine port wines and exquisite conversation, call Belvedere for reservations +852 2731 2880.
