The creative power couple treated their friends to an evening at the world’s only Krug Room inspired by their shared culinary memories
Krug Focus
Inspiration and interpretation are concepts that underscore any creative process, and both were fittingly involved in the formation of the second Creating Memories dinner at The Krug Room, this time hosted on September 25 by Thirty30 Creative’s founders, Victoria Tang-Owen and Christopher Owen. The partners in work and life worked closely with Mandarin Oriental Executive Chef Robin Zavou, tapping into their creative backgrounds to design a tasting menu that was enjoyed by the couple and their 10 special guests, including entrepreneur Ivan Pun plusstyle icons Alexa Bui and her husband Alan See. This unique collaboration with House of Krug was a chance for the group to sample a maverick line-up of Krug champagnes and experience the possibilities of food and wine pairing.

The result was a lavish meal with plenty of whimsical touches befitting of the hidden dining room within the Mandarin Oriental—in fact, many of the guests entering The Krug Room immediately made references to Lewis Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland thanks to the bucolic, autumnal scene fashioned by the hotel team. Once guests were seated, the forest-inspired centrepiece (complete with looming toadstools rendered in chocolate) was brought to life by the waiters who, in perfect synchronicity, poured a scented mist over the table that was redolent of crushed leaves and warm spices. As with every Krug Room meal, the decor is inspired by the characteristics of the champagne.
