Breakfast at the Grill
One way to try the creative cuisine of chef Uwe Opocensky is by trying the Mandarin Grill's famous breakfast served between 7:30am and 10am from Mondays to Fridays. The menu ranges from old favourites to new creations including the popular "English Breakfast", a fortifying repast of organic eggs, dry cured back bacon, Cumberland sausage, tomatoes, black pudding and field mushrooms.
Cepage's Sunday Lunch
Cepage will be serving a new Sunday four-course lunch designed for family get-togethers from 14 March. Chef Thomas Mayr is serving several dishes in family-sized portions, introducing a Chinese-style serving concept to his gastronomic French-Mediterranean fare. The lunch is priced at $588 per person.
The menu includes a welcoming aperitif, starting with a choice of carpaccio of live Normandy scallop or crispy fried pigeon leg stuffed with foie gras and drizzled with black truffle mayonnaise. A hearty traditional bouillabaisse seafood soup follows, served in a dish of puff pastry. Three main course options are home-made egg pasta tagliatelle with Perigord black truffle and ‘Taiyouran' organic egg confit; slow roasted U.S Prime ribeye from a carving trolley with baked potato; or oven-roasted Saint Pierre (John Dory) served with sautéed artichoke, courgette and oven dried tomato. Dessert is the classic crêpe suzette, flambéed and served at the table.
Sushi Fridays
JW's California has launched a Friday Night JW's Sushi Bar Happy Hour from 6-10pm priced at $280 per person. A selection of sushi, skewers, hand rolls, and free flow Asahi beer and sake will be served from 6-9pm for men, and for an extra hour for ladies.
Sushi choices include salmon, tuna, yellow tail, mussel, sweet shrimp and scallop. California hand roll, spicy salmon hand roll, chicken teriyaki and salmon skewer. Once a month, a Sake Master from Japan will be in attendance to explain the different sakes.
