Cucina Launches Seasonal Game And Wild Mushroom Menu

Hotel news | Dining, 19 September 2024
Hong Kong SAR, China, 17 September 2024 - From 18 September to 5 November, Cucina's Chef de Cuisine, Andrea Delzanno, invites diners on a culinary journey with an exquisite new menu featuring game and wild mushrooms. This seasonal offering includes six unique dishes that celebrate the rustic and earthy flavours of the Italian countryside, showcasing the bounties of Italy's wild game season.

Guests can kick off their gastronomic adventure with the selection of cold cuts of wild boar and venison, parmesan cheese, and condiments (HK$328). Perfect for sharing, this platter features three distinct cold cuts: a robust wild boar mortadella, a milder and smoky variant, and a flavourful venison salami. Accompanied by parmesan cheese, dried apricots, and pickles, this dish beautifully balances rich and bold flavours.

Next is the braised venison with Barolo wine, soft polenta, button mushroom, smoked ham, and pickled vegetables (HK$438). The venison is marinated in wine, herbs, and juniper berries before being slow-cooked for three hours, resulting in tender and flavourful meat. Paired with creamy polenta, this traditional Sunday recipe from Chef Andrea's hometown of Piedmont is a true culinary delight.

Guests can also indulge in the classic Piedmontese dish of risotto with porcini mushroom, roasted quail breast, and black truffle (HK$368). The tender and juicy roasted quail breast is complemented by the earthy flavours of porcini mushrooms and black truffles, creating a delicately balanced dish that is sure to please all palates.

Another highlight is the pan-fried duck leg confit, celeriac root purée, seared duck liver, mixed berries, and saba sauce (HK$428). This delectable creation features crispy duck leg confit paired with seared duck liver. Served alongside creamy celeriac root purée, mixed berries, and saba sauce, the sweet and sour notes perfectly balance the dish's richness.

Cucina's game and wild mushroom menu is available for lunch and dinner from 18 September to 5 November 2024. For enquires or reservations, please call Cucina at 2113 0808 or click here for table bookings. To purchase dining vouchers online, please click here.
