Aulis Hong Kong & Ho Lee Fook’s Exclusive British Cantonese Menu

Aulis Hong Kong & Ho Lee Fook's Exclusive British Cantonese Menu

Simon Rogan’s chef’s table and development kitchen, Aulis Hong Kong, is to host a special culinary crossover between sister restaurant Roganic Hong Kong and the city’s institution for Cantonese fare, Ho Lee Fook.

Originally planned for this year’s Chinese New Year celebrations, this special exclusive Roganic x Ho Lee Fook collaboration was put on hold due to the unprecedented fifth wave of the pandemic. Following the recent loosening of social distancing restrictions, the long-awaited collaboration is finally set to go ahead on Sunday, 24th of July, showcasing a true one-of-a-kind crossover between British and Cantonese Flavours.

Roganic x Ho Lee Fook Collaboration Tasting Menu
One Michelin star and Green star recipient, Roganic Hong Kong stands at the forefront of the city’s farm-to-table fine dining movement, breaking boundaries with contemporary British cuisine elevated with sustainably-sourced ingredients. Roganic Hong Kong Sous Chef Adam Catterall will be joining forces with Ho Lee Fook’s Head Chef ArChan Chan to produce a menu that fuses nostalgic, old-school Chinese flavours with innovative British flair.

Preparing the prawn toast crumpets for guests

Highlights of the experience include but aren’t limited to the beloved Hong Kong-style Prawn Toast Crumpet, which usually features crunchy, deep-fried golden-brown bread but instead uses British crumpet; iconic Fish Balls created fresh with scallop and mussel mousse, served with a sumptuous curry sauce; Chef ArChan’s exclusive dish of Hong Kong classic, Claypot Rice that is cooked using a traditional charcoal fire; and the dessert, a non-traditional Ice Cream Sundae with coconut, mango and pomelo.
