To announce the arrival of spring and to surprise guests with a specially crafted Spring Specials menu, executive chef Chi Ki Wong is delighted to bring the finest seasonal ingredients to Above & Beyond. The white asparagus, renowned as “King of Vegetables” sprouts from April to June each year. With elements of traditional Cantonese cuisine combined with international cooking methods and ingredients, chef Wong has specially curated the fried South African abalone with white asparagus in homemade XO sauce, redefining this premium dish. Sourcing specialised products from around the world, chef Wong ensures that ingredients are chosen for their unique flavour and texture, as seen in the example of the braised duck with pineapple and plum sauce that is a perfect flavour combination of succulent duck and the sourness from the plum sauce. The stone-grilled oysters with Cognac have a unique flavour that has been elevated with the decadent aroma of Cognac that provides a rich and savoury depth of the oyster. Last but not least, the braised eel with golden garlic in brown sauce is prepared with details that deliver an exceptional flavour and texture with exceptional creations.
