Braised Japanese Cucumber with Conpoy, Fish Maw, Red Date and Taiwanese Red Barley
Be prepared for the spectacle that awaits you as this dish is presented on LEGLE Porcelain white gold bowl with simple lines and spectacular patterns on platinum gold platter.
Ingredients such as red date, conpoy, fish maw and sea cucumber with vegetables are placed delicately inside. The soup and sauce are prepared using slow heat until it thickens to the right consistency.
Vegetables retaining their original shape are laid out like a fishing boat. Red dates akin to lights of fishing boats created the perfect balance in texture, color and flavor.
The red barley is sautéed and placed on hand-painted luxurious platinum small dish.
After sampling these two dishes, take note of the red barley juice presented in a fragrance cup, which is the proud recipient of the Best New Product 2012 awarded by the World Tea Expo, reminiscent of those which first appeared in the south.
The receptacle is chosen for its clarity to allow sampling the liquid to another level of indulgence.
Caramel / whisky parfait glace, apple tatin, vanilla mousse, caramel sauce
Feast your eyes as this course is presented on stunning porcelain and glassware alongside a crystal goblet.
Wait in anticipation as the lid is opened to reveal the dessert inside. Smell the smoke scent of the burned dried Osmanthus blossom, and caramelized apple, whisky parfait glace and vanilla mousse are revealed exquisitely.
The smoke scent is the 12 year old Kavalan whiskey, which is the proud recipient of the Golden Award in 2014.
In comparison with the European dessert flavor, the Taiwan dessert has a smoother taste due to the fresh/ sourness from the fruit with espuma cream.
This dessert is presented on a special show plate designed by LEGLE Porcelain for RUYI Gastronomy. Its pattern design is inspired from the tradition double happiness motif.
