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.

Swipe to see more the dishes below!

👉 Clams with shaoxing fermented black bean and pickled celtuce
👉 Edamame tart with citrus cream and dried scallop
👉 Tarbouriech oyster with Taiwanese tomato and strawberry
👉 Salted fish and fermented Chinese cabbage sabayon
👉 Sea cucumber with 20 years Shaoxing wine and tiger prawn sauce

This was the debut of Nespresso’s Gourmet Weeks, a series of collaborative menus with HK’s top chefs & restaurants from July 12 to August 8 including @arborhk @lenvolhk @monohkg @ando.hkg @chaathongkong @ta_vie_hk and Tin Lung Heen.

About author
Harro everyone. I’ve always been on some sort of social networking platform (from Asian Avenue to Facebook) but i’ve never committed fully to a blog. I’m extremely new to this whole blogging scene so bare with me as I slowly piece things together and experiment with ideas. Telling you a little about myself is probably a good way to start. So here we go! My name is Nicole. I was born and raised in Calgary and have since returned to the mother land, now residing in Hong Kong. I grew up in a semi-traditional household as both my parents immigrated to Canada quite young but still kept their roots intact. My dad is a crazy good cook and my parents were previous restaurant owners. I remember involuntarily sacrificing my summer holidays grindin’ at the restaurant (aka child labour). Apparently, my nimble fingers were the essential tools to wonton wrapping, spring roll rolling and dumpling folding. I don’t follow many food blogs mainly because theres too much reading involved. So basically That Food Cray !!! is exactly how I would want to see a food blog run. Wouldn’t you rather SEE pictures/videos of food than read about food? I don’t want to bore with a novel about how my hamburger tasted. I’m hoping That Food Cray !!! will stand out from the rest visually, creatively, and above all else not create a pretentious foodie platform. Hoping to leave with a happy ending… aka foodgasm. -Nicole
