CLASSIC at the table
by TinShing Umeshu
Begin with char siu
A familiar dish can be the beginning of a new pairing. Begin with CLASSIC and char siu — a meeting of Hong Kong flavours and the house’s Nanko ume foundation.
Try the dish, then a chilled serve of CLASSIC, and return to the food. Notice the glaze, the roast character and the fruit. What changes when the two meet?
Pairings are starting points, not fixed rules. Let the dish and your own preference guide the conversation.
