The first few bites from a brewtiful dinner at @vea_hk where @chefvickycheng created a special menu in collaboration with @nespresso.hk highlighting coffee as a key ingredient. Chef Vicky also used vegetables such as aubergines and bitter melon that were grown on the Nespresso Farm in Hong Kong using recycled Nespresso coffee grounds as a fertiliser.
The roasted eggplant mousse cannoli pictured above was one of the dishes made with the aubergine from the farm along with coffee.
