Are you planning to host your Christmas gathering at home this year instead of going out to eat?
If so, a number of top Hong Kong restaurants, hotels and grocers are on hand to help you create an unforgettable celebration full of hearty international flavours this festive season, from turkeys and hams to geese and seafood. Selections include both gourmet ready-to-serve and premium ready-to-roast options.
Read on for options suiting various styles and budgets this Christmas.
1. Heimat
Chef Peter Find is offering a taste of Germany this Christmas at Heimat, where the usual turkey is substituted with an oven-roasted goose.
A cherished centrepiece in German Weihnachten, or Christmas time, goose boasts a richer, deeper flavour than turkey, and it is paired with tangy home-made red cabbage and soft potato dumplings.
Add-ons include a sausage platter with sauerkraut and a spiced banana gugelhupf (German cake) for dessert.
