Artsy fare before visiting the art fair

Before visiting Hotel art asia and Art Central, I started my art journey here with a meal designed by Nicolas Boutin to celebrate Hong Kong art week which is a five course meal that costs $1488.

Here were two of the five courses that I had.

L'art du pot au feu:
Beef short rib, multi coloured vegetables, garden leaves and black truffle.
It was beautifully and colourfully presented with a round piece of beef topped with vibrant vegetables and black truffle slices on top.




Beef consomme is poured onto it.



The beef consomme was clear and light tasting like Bovril.
On the menu, it says the beef is short rib but the texture and taste was soft like beef belly.

autour du pinceau:
This was such a fun dessert to play with and eat because you get to paint it with sauces using a Pentel paintbrush and the dessert was also delicious.



The paints (fruit sauces) were mango, berries, pistachio and strawberry.

It was really fun to paint but more brushes are needed or a pot to wash your brushes because you end up mixing the colours.

The light colours were a bit too opaque when they were painted so I ended up pouring it on the plate to get a bolder colour.
As for the berry sauce, the colour was a bit like blood


The dessert was surprisingly good because I liked the strong citrus centre with real pieces of tart blood orange encased in a light meringue shell decorated with light cream.
