SHANGHAI LO RESTAURANT IN HONG KONG OFFERS 'BEGGAR CHICKEN' IN STYLISH, UNBEGGARLY SURROUNDINGS

KEE@FSWMAG.COM

Smashing into the Exquisite “Beggar Chicken” Brings a Culinary Delicacy of Good Fortune to Shanghai Lo Customers  Modernistic restaurant Shanghai Lo is celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival with two traditional menus for tables of six or 12 at 1/F The Tonno, located in the heart of Wanchai. Shanghai Lo relives the nostalgia of Shanghai cuisine in an opulent ambience of dark mahogany, traditional carved partitions and chandeliers, creating a sense of historic romanticism. The extravagant feasts pay tribute to a bygone era when farmers thanked the moon god for bountiful harvests, offering a variety of specialties from the classic Beggar Chicken and Braised Pork Knuckle to Double-Boiled Aged Duck Soup and Mashed Taro Dumplings in Sweet Soup. Originated from Jiang su, the stunning Beggar Chicken used to be the “haute cuisine” served at the Imperial Court.  The fresh, boneless chicken is stuffed with fragrant ingredients, hand-wrapped in a lotus leaf and covered in clay, then baked in a low-heat oven for several hours where the flavours develop and marry. Diners then use a hammer to break the clay open, making it a fun and interactive dish. The hammer-smashing action symbolizes the ending of poverty and the welcoming of good fortune. Another unique dish served is the Braised Pork Knuckle in Dark Soy Sauce. Braised with Shao Xing wine, scallion and sugar for three hours, this method gives the pork enough time to absorb all the aromas, offering diners a tender dish with strong, concentrated flavours. Priced starting from HK$1,988 for six or from HK$3,688 for twelve, the first option starts with an appetiser platter that includes the traditionalHuadiao Wine Marinated Chicken, Sliced Pork Terrine Served with Zhenjiang Black Vinegar, and Tea Leaf Smoked Egg. The celebration of the first menu continues withan extensive list of tasty dishes, includingStir-fried River Shrimps withLongjing Tea,Double-Boiled Whelk, Tricholoma Matsutake & Chicken Soup, plus the Shanghainese classic, Braised Tianjin Cabbage & Ham. The menu is rounded up with a traditional Chinese dessert, Mashed Taro Dumplings in Sweet Soup, an item created to highlight the taro season. Priced at HK$2,188 for six or HK$3,988 for twelve persons, the alternative, more decadent menu starts with the same appetiser, with the addition of the classic, refreshing Jelly Fish, Cucumber and Spring Onion Oil. This menu’s main courses include Shanghai Lo Crispy Rice Cone with Goose Liver, Minced Chicken & Quail Egg, a nourishing Double-Boiled Aged Duck Soup with Chinese Herbs which is simmered for two hours,Braised Ham in Honey-Osamanthus Sauce Served with Shanghainese Buns, plus the rare but beloved Chinese dish, Beggar Chicken. This menu also concludes with Steamed Pork Dumplings and Mashed Taro Dumplings in Sweet Soup. Two different nine-course menus served from 1 August to 9 September cater to alternative tastes at the candlelit venue themed after Shanghai’s hey-day, amid karaoke and live music lounges on Tonnochy Road. Guests who wish to enjoy these menus must order at least one day in advance.

What’s Up Pussycat?  Le Bristol Paris Welcomes Far-Raon’s New Girlfriend- Kléopatre Far-Raon now purring with happiness as he finds feline love with new Birman kitten, Kléopatre Le Bristol Paris is pleased to announce the welcome addition of Kléopatre, a beautiful female Birman Cat who will live alongside the hotels famous feline resident, Fa-Raon. Her arrival heralds an increase in the Le Bristol Paris family and has made a recently despondent Fa-Raon purr with newfound happiness. Since her arrival Fa-Raon has taken Kléopatre on a discovery tour of the hotel's corridors and sumptuous lounges, for strolls through the French gardens, and even shares his favourite corner with her: the concierge’s counter! Kléopatre has already proved herself to be a firm favourite amongst guests due to her loving and friendly nature. On most days the elegant female cat can be found playing games with tiny toddlers, happily being stroked by passing guests or exploring Le Bristol Paris’s beautiful garden - Le Jardin Francais, purring all the while. Kléopatre will also not be short of gifts now that she is in residence at Le Bristol Paris. For Fa-Raon's third birthday last year, Maison Goyard presented him with a sumptuous "Oscar" bow-tie collar in black leather and canvas, as well as a bowl-holder made of poplar wood both customized with his name in green lettering and fuchsia-coloured shading, to match the signature colours of Le Bristol Paris. As with Fa-Raon, this prestigious company will also give Kléopatre an "Oscar" bow-tie collar with a customized silver medal created by Christofle. And finally, Kléopatre and Fa-Raon will have the immense pleasure of seeing their apartment at Le Bristol Paris decorated by the artist Renk. This world-renowned street artist will cover the walls with the word "cat", written in different languages, as well as the names of these two adorable feline friends. Didier Le Calvez, CEO of Le Bristol states: "I am delighted that Kléopatre will be keeping Fa-Raon company. Her gentleness and serenity will benefit him, as well as our guests and staff. From now on, both cats will watch over the exceptional destiny of this leading Parisian palace hotel." M. Le Calvez continues: “All of our guests love Le Bristol Paris’ cats. Perhaps this is because cats symbolise so many things for so many cultures. In Europe, for example, cats represent life, movement and freedom. In the United States, they are associated with independence, courage and patience and in Asia, cats tend to symbolise peace, fortune and family serenity.” Located in the heart of the Golden Triangle in Paris, Le Bristol Paris boasts a large French garden, a pool overlooking the rooftops of Paris and a restaurant with 4 stars in the Michelin guide. In April 2014, Le Bristol became the first palace hotel to have completed an extensive renovation programme.
