SEASONAL GLUTTONY (PART II)

Continuing with my recommendations for venues to celebrate the festive season from last week’s column, I propose the last spot that I would go to wine and dine as PART II of the SEASONAL GLUTTONY series.

StarWorld Hotel

A recent addition to the world-famous MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong and Macau 2015, Temptations at StarWorld Hotel has a very special gourmet celebratory menu for guests to enjoy while the opulent Whisky Bar will keep the party going until the early hours with a host of lively live performances as 2014 makes way for a new year.
The MICHELIN inspectors made StarWorld Hotel’s signature restaurant their choice for a prestigious Bib Gourmand recommendation in the latest MICHELIN Guide for Hong Kong and Macau as Temptations lives up to its name with a delightful menu showcasing its exceptional continental and international cuisine.
On New Year’s Eve, in refined and elegant surroundings that were recently refurbished to a luxuriously high standard less than a year ago, diners can enjoy delicious dishes that include: Lychee Wood Smoked Duck Breast, Red Wine Peaches; Alaskan Crab Legs, Avocado & Mango Salad; Seafood and Pumpkin Risotto; Baked Beef Tenderloin with Cheese in Basil Red Wine Sauce; and Chocolate Mousse with Rocky Road Ice Cream.
StarWorld Hotel’s sophisticated Whisky Bar is giving guests two festive opportunities for countdown parties late into the night on December 24 and 31 for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. For both events, the fun begins at 9:00pm and carries on until 5:00am with a festive show, live band performances and DJs to keep the party rocking. Just make sure that you buy some eye cream to recover from the dark eye circles that you will get from partying so damn hard.
