Society rendezvous location SEVVA,is bringing the glamour of Sydney to Hong Kong from May 21-31 hosting Celebrity Chef Chase Kojima alongside award winning Mixologist Michael Chiem.

Chef Kojima’s edgy, contemporary twist on Japanese cuisine is honed from heading up the kitchens of the iconic NOBU restaurant groupall over the globe. Now at the helm of ultra-trendy Sokyo at The Star in Sydney, he is recognised as one of Australia’s leading chefs and has earned a coveted ‘Chef Hat’ awardfor hisJapanese equivalent ofHeston Blumenthal’s molecular gastronomy.

At SEVVA’s 10-day showcase in May, Chef Kojima is presenting a daily bentoset lunch and 10-course set dinner menu of his signature Sokyo (“Sydney meets Tokyo”) cuisine. Lunch, priced at HK$680*, features a 6-course teaser of the dinner menu, with appetiser of Hiramasa Kingfish, Miso, Lime, Jalapeño & Crispy Potato and a ‘Bento Box’ of Flounder Tempura & Black Pepper Amazu; Toothfish, Dengakumis & Japanese Salsa; Japanese Wagyu Striploin A4& Truffle Poke; and Toro, Uni, Ikura & Chirashi-zuke.

10-course set dinner menu, priced at HK$1,860*, builds on the creative lunch menu, featuring the same six signature dishes but with additional courses of Scampi, Foie Gras, White Soy, Apple & Mizuna; King Crab, Ikura, Salmon Belly, Green Tea & Rice; Plum Wine & Lime; Japanese Snapper Sashimi, Spicy Crab & Pickled Raddish; and a variation of Toro with Sea Urchin, Pickled Wasabi and Shiso.For HK$2,570, Australian wine pairing is also available, with sparkling Ruinart Blanc De Blanc and three Cape Mentelle, Margaret River varietals – Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Merlot.

Meanwhile, global award-winning Mixologist Michael Chiem is equally renowned for his molecular magic when it comes to drinks, all which bring a sense of play to his signature cocktail list. Chiem is behind Australia’s Bulletin Place, recently voted ‘Cocktail Bar of The Year’ and also ranked among the Worlds 50 Best Bars.

Chiem’s cocktail menu is a stellar concoction of dazzling specialties from his celebrated Bulletin Bar – ranging from the best-loved drink ‘What’s the Fizz?’ with Aperol, passion fruit, lime and beer to ‘Wake Up Jeff!’ which mixes bourbon, blackberry, mint powder, lemon and pastis. The cocktail surprises also extend to ‘St Charles Punch’ with Calvados and ‘Suntory Says’, matching Japanese Whisky with absinthe. Non-alcoholic ‘mocktails’ include ‘Apple & Ginger Sour’; ‘Hibiscus’ tea  with peach bitters, lime and apple; and ‘Cabrito Cooler’ with Reposado Tequila, cucumber, mint, lime and agave.

In addition, for the month of May SEVVA will play host to two floral works of art in honour of the welcoming of Spring. In place on the outdoor terrace from May 7th, the two large bespoke floral art sculptures took one month to complete by a dedicated number of designers which incorporate over 100,000 fresh flowers. The sculptures will take the form of a brightly coloured life-size Harley Davidson and life-size Mini Cooper made from Chinese box branchlet, Consolida Ajacis and Hydrangea flowers from around the globe – especially sent to Hong Kong for this exhibit.  Ms Bonnae Gokson comments ‘I love the idea of juxtaposing soft floral texture alongside the strong classic framework of these two iconic designs”.

Inside, the Lounge Area has received a brightly coloured redecoration for Spring. The new-look lounge features tailor made cushions and chairs made with vivid and unique materials chosen and styled by Ms. Gokson.

*Menu prices are subject to 10% service charge.
