26 July, 2022 (Hong Kong, SAR): With a sumptuous family reunion meal at the heart and soul of the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations, Executive Chef Lau Yiu Fai has curated a “Full Moon” dinner menu and indulgent “Reunion” and “Bountiful Harvest” lunch menus to mark the occasion at the two- MICHELIN starred Yan Toh Heen amidst panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and the radiant moon.

The exquisite menus showcase refined Cantonese dishes with premium ingredients including French Obsiblue prawns, a rare delicacy which will have family and friends “over the moon” during the harvest celebration of the full moon at its brightest and fullest. Originating over 3,000 years when people thanked the moon god for the harvest, this beloved festival and its traditions still live on today with colourful lanterns symbolically lighting the path to prosperity and good fortune and reunion feasts with family and friends giving thanks.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, discover a “Once in a Blue Moon” dining experience as Executive Chef Lau Yiu Fai and Head Chef Cheng Man Sang for the first time prepare dishes with French Obsiblue Prawns, an extremely rare crustacean farmed in the world’s largest lagoon – a UNESCO World Heritage site in New Caledonia, the French territory in the South Pacific. While Obsiblue’s colour is the reflection of the lagoon’s crystal-clear turquoise waters, it is the pristine natural environment that provides the prawns with rich nutrients that enhance their taste. An exceptional culinary delicacy, the sashimi-grade crustacean, when cooked, is firm and juicy with long-lasting sweet and sour notes.

Be moonstruck as you dine at the harbour’s edge with stunning views of the Hong Kong skyline, while feasting on Yan Toh Heen’s Full Moon Dinner Menu. Savour each bite of Crispy Fried Rice with French Obsiblue Prawns in Fish Bouillon, which Chef Lau lightly fries to lock in the juices and create a true umami sensation in a favourful broth made from leopard Coral Trout, poured over crispy fried jasmine rice. Other delicacies include Lobster with Fresh Asparagus, tied in the shape of an ancient jade hairpin, and Indonesian Bird’s Nest in a delicate soup, as well as Braised African Fish Maw with marinated 6-head South African Abalone in Oyster Jus.

You can also discover the sweet and succulent taste of rare Obsiblue Prawns over the Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion Luncheon Menu starring Wok-seared French Obsiblue Prawns with Soy Sauce, which Chef Lau lightly flours to lock in the juices, before wok-frying, then adding scallions and premium and dark soy sauce to enhance the flavour. The luncheon feast includes Double Boiled Fish Maw and Sea Whelk in Broth, and a Yan Toh Heen signature dish, Braised Whole Abalone and Seafood on Crispy Taro Net. A rich and delectable combination of textures, the marinated 18-head South African Abalone sits atop a delicious crispy taro net with a creamy filling of taro purée mixed with South Australian scallops, Thai crystal shrimp and crabmeat.

For a truly gourmet Mid-Autumn Festival Luncheon, indulge in the Bountiful Harvest Menu which begins with Chilled Asparagus with Abalone and Jelly Fish served in a luminous porcelain dish shaped like a lantern, atop a Chinese silver stand, followed by Yan Toh Heen Superior Dumplings, a succulent trio of premium seafood dim sum. Amongst the many other Cantonese delights are Braised African Fish Maw in Oyster Jus and Minced Thai Crystal Shrimp stuffed in Chinese Black Mushrooms, and Fried Rice Wrapped and Steamed in a Lotus Leaf, locking in a flavourful blend of crabmeat, chicken, diced duck, and scallops, shiitake mushrooms and diced green onion.
