Michelin-starred restaurants’ new summer dishes
Came to Mira in Tsim Sha Tsui to try new dishes this evening! Of course it’s my favorite Michelin-starred restaurant, Cuisine Cuisine. I like Chef Edwin’s gestures the most. The relevant department arranged for me to try Chef Deng’s latest summer dish, which is a new product and has not yet been officially released.
【Kiyomizu brown sugar pine crab red persimmon】
The first dish is the "Kiribachi Brown Sugar Pine Crab Red Persimmon" (price to be determined), which is amazing both in taste and appearance. The very juicy sweet tomatoes (that is, tomatoes, very sweet!) are drizzled with the kiribachi brown sugar sauce prepared by the chef himself, which is sour and sweet a bit like ginger vinegar; Okinawa sea grapes are also added. The crispy texture of the sea grapes matches the tender crab meat perfectly, making it a very suitable appetizer for summer.
【Orchid jelly and conch soup】
The very nourishing "Tianzilan Fish Maw and Snail Soup" (price to be determined), fish maw and snail are yin-nourishing and beauty-enhancing ingredients that women love; Tianzilan (also known as Dendrobium orchid) is less common, and a Google search says it is the first of the nine magical herbs in China, and research shows that its nutritional value is comparable to that of Cordyceps sinensis. Tianzi orchid is golden yellow, a crystallization of Dendrobium, and rich in the essence of Dendrobium. According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, Dendrobium can strengthen yin and benefit essence. Long-term consumption can expel evil heat and prickly heat from the skin, make the body lighter and prolong life. So awesome!
【Golden Sands Rose Sauce Crab Balls】
Another amazing dish is the "Golden Sand Rose Sauce Crab Balls" (price to be determined). I am a fan of strong flavors, and the salted egg golden sand itself is totally my cup of tea! Of course, Golden Sands Shrimp Balls is not a new dish, but the amazing thing is the addition of very crispy fried dough balls and unexpected rose sauce. I never thought that rose and golden sand could go together, and the effect is so good! The fragrance and sweetness of the rose jam were not covered up by the salted egg yolk, but instead reduced the greasiness of the golden sand and fried dough sticks. The lobster meat remained chewy and sweet after being gently "fried". I like this one very much, highly recommend!
[Chaoshan steamed horse mackerel with salted lemon and wine lees]
I have seen the introduction of "Chaoshan Salted Lemon and Wine Lees Steamed Horseradish" (price to be determined) on other food KOL's Facebook before, and I was very interested in it at the time. I never thought that I would actually have the opportunity to try it myself. Salted lemon is used to steam fish, mostly to steam aconite, but the chef uses horseradish instead. Large fresh mackerel can be very expensive, usually selling for around HK$300 per pound in the market. The larger the fish, the fatter and more delicious it is. Here we only take a section of the fish back, and enjoy the salty and fragrant flavor of salted lemon, plus the deliciousness of the fish meat. The uniqueness of this dish lies in the addition of wine lees, which has a slightly sweet taste from fermented starch, balancing the sourness of the salty lemon.
【Lohan Yu'er Zhen Mushroom White Jade Tree】
The "Lohan Yu'er Zhenmu Baiyuke" (price to be determined) is another surprise. It is vegetarian but not bland at all. It is made of bean curd skin on the outside, and when it is cut open, it is filled with different mushroom and vegetable fillings, which are first steamed and then topped with a sauce made from the broth. Even the kale dish next to it was cut with great care.
【Seafood fried noodles with shrimp roe and abalone sauce】
I had this "Seafood Pan-fried Noodles with Shrimp Roe and Abalone Sauce" (HK$248 per person) last year and I loved it. The fried crispy noodles are wrapped with sea cucumber pieces and topped with thick abalone sauce. It seems low-key but it is actually a very meaningful dish, and the price is worth the effort.
【Champagne jelly mango pudding with coconut milk, grapefruit and sago】
The last dessert was the "Champagne Jelly Mango Pudding with Coconut Milk, Pomelo and Sago" (HK$108 per person). It was not a special dessert but it was very IG-able and suitable for posting cards. I couldn't help but take a video and put it on my IG.
I was completely delighted after eating the above dishes and I am very grateful for the arrangements made by the relevant parties.
