V-ZUG FOCUS
Take a look back at Off Menu, 2019’s food event of the year
Feed your curiosity—this was the invitation and premise for the inaugural Off Menu food festival that took place in Hong Kong last November, bringing together 16 incredible chefs and 4 world-class mixologists for three days of culinary creativity. Hosted on the iconic rooftop of Peak Galleria, looking out over the spectacular Hong Kong skyline and Victoria Harbour, the open-air event was unlike anything else the city had seen before—the heady mix of international and local talent, never-before-seen gastronomic creations and electric atmosphere seasoned with live music came together for the Off Menu experience.
The line-up of chefs featured top names from around the city as well as familiar faces from leading Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, who paired up to create 12 truly "off menu" dishes for over 1300 guests. Among the star-studded roster was chef Vicky Lau of Tate Dining Room, whose artistic sensibilities were unexpectedly paired with the rock ’n’ roll irreverence of chef Hisato Hamada and the Wagyumafia team. Together, they created two unforgettable off menu dishes with the aid of the fully fitted out V-ZUG kitchen that enabled them to serve the constant line of guests outside their booth.
