Food | Sensational temptation

There is an eatery in town where the culinary team and restaurant and bar professionals are extra hard working. It’s Temptations located on the 16/F of StarWorld. Almost every month they come out with a special wine dinner menu and Master of Cuisine Joe Chan, StarWorld Hotel Executive Chef’s dishes never disappoint.
This time around, they are presenting a wine pairing dinner with another world record, award-winning wine from New Zealand, Cirro Wine. The menu is available from now until the end of October.  Two award-winning wines selected to go with the extraordinary dishes of Chef Joe are Cirro Marlborough Sauvlgnon Blanc 2014 and Cirro Marlborough Pinot Gris 2014, which won China Wine and Spirits Silver Awards 2015 and China Wine and Spirits Gold Award 2015 respectively.
The China Wine & Spirit Awards (CWSA) is the biggest and most prestigious wine and spirits competition in China. Participating wines are from over 35 countries and the award-winning wines are chosen by nearly 100 judges by blind tasting.
As usual, Chef Joe’s dishes are nothing short of innovative and stunning. The highlights on the menu include a blue mussel salad and a lobster ragout topped with a morel mushroom sauce. The umami wonder pairs extremely well with the Cirro Marlborough Pinot Gris 2014, which is fruity, fresh, and a bit acidic. It is definitely a menu not to be missed.
